Hi @zachia - welcome to our wonderful community. What platform are you playing on - PC or mobile (IOS or Android)? I play on mobile and if I am only gone for a very short time, even if my screen has gone blank when I wake it up again I am usually back where I was and have not lost a life. I know that you can set the length of time until your device goes to sleep (blank screen) and adjusting that may help with this problem.
