Is there some way to avoid being kicked for inactivity? Whenever I play solo, sometimes I need to step away for a phone call or to smoke a cigarette and I come back to being kicked out. Didn't there used to be an option where you could continue your game?? I have not seen that option the last 5-10 times this has happened. I love this game so much, but this is infuriating. What can I do?
Kicked for Inactivity
@theshane The only way to avoid being kicked is to make sure that your pirate is moving, like left stick forward. Don't do an emote, as the pirate isn't "moving."
I do not know of any specific scenarios that would work right off...
I have crew that seem to tuck on other ships for extended periods of time, so you could perhaps try a sleep or hide emote and see if that helps? That may not work on your own ship, or without your characters view moving around to some degree to show some game interaction?

I know repeat movements will get you kicked, such as fishing with a repeat cast, cancel, cast, cancel, etc... Would walking (a continuous input) be treated the same?
@archangel-timmy I just keep my controller face down going forward and spinning in the hull of my ship. Worked the only time I have done it.
Confirmed on the repeat movements getting you kicked
I've been booted multiple times from arena because myself and my teammate switch off on offence/defence and two or three times while I was on offence it was cannon/refill ammo/ cannon / refill ammo and it booted me for the repetition actually caused me to miss out on wins or almost miss out cuz it was kicking me for being afk when I was 100% active. Even threatened me with a 30 min ban even though I didnt leave lol it kicked me
