This appears to be fixed for mobile - switching to the home screen or another application doesn't disconnect clients.

The the remaining issue that affects Windows 10, please refer to the ticket MCPE-19393

Hi, I get this in windowed and Full Screen.
Connect as host,
alt tab to new app,
wait 2-5 sec,
alt tab back in,
game disconnects.

It seems to be related to the win 10 version auto pausing/ loosing focus.

Reopened. Thanks for the input.

This is still an issue in Windows 10 edition v1.1.3.

  1. Set Minecraft to fullscreen
  2. Host a multiplayer game and have other players connect
  3. Alt+tab, etc. to switch to another window
  4. All other players will be disconnected within a short amount of time

This is still an issue for me in Windows 10 edition version 1.0.2

Each time I alt-tab out to another application and come back, I get "disconnected from server" after about 15 seconds. I've noticed that if my time in the other application is VERY brief (under 5 seconds,) I don't get disconnected.

My world is a realm, in case that's relevant.

Please respond and add the current version if you can reproduce this issue.

Confirmed on MCPE 0.14.2 using:

  • Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920W8), Android 5.1.1
  • Asus B121 Tablet Touch & pen enabled, Win10 Pro (64-bit) build 10240 and
  • Apple iPad3 (MC705C/A) iOS 8.4.1 (12H321)

Whichever device was the server, as soon as you context switch to another application, all clients are disconnected. The only exception was running win10 server in window mode (not fullscreen). Then the clients would remain connected.

Does this affect both creative and survival multiplayer games?
