I am pretty sure that this doesn't work in AI War anymore, either -- I believe we had to take that out because windows 8 broke it. And it doesn't work in OSX or linux anyhow. Right now it's just not something supported by the unity engine, so Keith wrote a standalone DLL to directly interact with windows with. That said, windows I think messed with their API some and caused that to break, to my recollection. I will ask him about it, though.

Should we suppose that THIS

* Made it so that the game now completely stops when the window does not have focus. This is a built-in unity feature, but it's something that causes network connectivity drops when used in multiplayer. Since this is not a multiplayer game, we can actually use this feature! This prevents annoying screen panning when you alt-tab out of the game, or when you click over to a different window in windowed mode, etc.

solves the problem?
