Phaser Timer event stops when your not in the browser

[oxxxo]

I noticed that the timer event also stop when the user switch tab or

look at another window then start again once you come back to the tab where the game is open.

 

is there a away to change this?

 

or is it possible for the timer to be continuous even the user leave the browser?

Try this (but your browser may stop calling requestAnimationFrame() anyway which causes the update-function not to be called):

 

this.game.stage.disableVisibilityChange = true;

If you use javascript's native functions, setTimeout or setInterval function, they will continue to execute regardless of wether the tab is active.
