Game Crash after idle time

[RappsFF7]

After several minutes of being idle (somewhere around 5-10 minutes) the game hard crashes, as in, the game exists with no warning or error message. This problem happens with the game maximized OR minimized, and at any screen (including character creation, grrrrrr).

I have an Asus G50VT laptop with a nVidia 9800 GT mobile video card and 4 gigs of ram, running Vista 64-bit with UAC disabled. My video drivers are up to date for this model of Asus laptops.

Thanks in advance for any advice to solve this problem.

WAI
that the idle time kick. It shuts the client down

It's an awesome little feature that saves groups from being weighed down by the 'start-of-dungeon-afk' type of pikers

Glad we only need to wait for 5-10 mins for the offender to DC then boot em and get someone worthwhile in group

Oh ok, it sounds pretty helpful. Glad to hear it's not a bug. I just wish it only happened when you're in a group and not soloing

Find a wall that you can autorun against without going anywhere. This used to be the way to prevent the client from shutting down when idle (not 100% positive if it still works, but it's worth a shot).
