130 posts 		Each night, I save my position and put my PC (Windows 10 v1909) in hibernation (it's rare that I'm not in the middle of a simulation).

Every morning since the upgrade, I receive the message "Licence has been removed from this machine. Simulation will now end".

It takes a second or two for the wifi to reconnect on wake-up, and I think the loader is timing out too quickly.

It's only a minor annoyance, given that V5 is quicker than V4 at loading.

Just a note that this has come up in other threads, Geoff has commented that he will look to see if he can improve things.

On a personal note I must admit I'm surprised at how many people put there computers to sleep rather than a full shut down.

Old and crotchety kit takes a while to crank up. We've got a not very modern HP laptop with various bits and pieces bloating the system that takes nearly 5 minutes from pushing the power button until it is properly usable. Some people may be looking to avoid that sort of delay.

Although I wouldn't leave anything overly resource-hungry running whilst it sleeps, browser and explorer windows and simple apps are exactly what it's designed for, so it's a little frustrating that SimSig is now incompatible with this feature, especially as one of the reasons I leave it open is so I don't need to resize all my windows every time I restart.
There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

130 posts 		On a personal note, I'm surprised how many people shut down their PCs.

Since hibernation first became possible (I never had Windows 95, but it was possible with NT 4 in 1997), I have always hibernated my PC, only rebooting when forced to by software updates.

In the days before SSD, this saved at least 5 minutes a day, so almost a working week par year (I normally connect to work 365 days per year).

I would say that I've not had more than one problem a year due to applications not recovering properly. Even the occasional time when I forget to save a file it's usually possible to save it after waking up.

I normally have many browser windows open and maybe spreadsheets, whatever that hibernating makes life so much easier to pick up where I left off.

153 posts 		With the older machines using sleep mode saves 5-10 minutes on returning. something you usually want if your not planning to do something that will take a long time anyways. This is how ive always done it with my laptop as i experience problems with chrome when i close it losing all the pages i had open ocasionally.

I don't want to have to recreate a whole load of context just because there's a power cut or because I'm going on a plane without a power socket. Hibernation means the machine comes back to life just how it was.

5 posts 		I've just woken my machine from sleep overnight and lost my Birmingham New Street simulation which had reached 0553 which was a little disappointing as I only hourly save. I'll know now not to leave Simsig running.

Overall I am delighted with the V5 changes, well done to all involved.

In the meantime, it is possible to save once the message pops up!

I'd suggest that you reduce you save settings, to say every 10/15/20 mins instead of an hour the save files will vary between 150-250KB per save, hardly taxing for most systems these days
