Disable Background Throttling for Desktop

Can you please disable background throttling for Desktop exports from cloud (or add an option)?

Most of the games I’ve made designed to work in the background as they have idle mechanics or level farming, which cannot be solved by simply adding comparing time unfocused and focused again because there are multiple lines of code like attack speed also changes spawn timer with complex math. If that is not possible can you show us a workaround? Thanks in advance.

As far as I can find, this is a browser limitation and not controlled by the engine.(Keep in mind all GDevelop games run kn a browser, even compiled ones)

Most workarounds I have found involve forcing the app to stay on top but hiding the display instead of actually minimizing it or changing tabs, and it doesn’t look aome of those workarounds have worked for a few years due to changes in Chromium.

Yes, I managed to make it work in the background on manual exports with some redneck engineering but again I don’t know coding. Gdevelop devs or other contributers can actually find a solution for this.
