thanks for confirming my suspicion. i didn't even think about the going on vacation part, that's gonna cost me if i'm not careful. again, just like with that new pop up notification thingy, very bad decision regarding game design imo.
edit : adding some stuff : the only thing this feature does for me is making sure that i play the game as absolutely little as possible when i'm not home, which is the biggest part of my day. pretty sure the devs didn't implement the higher resolution to make people play less. i hope they fix this but since they have a lousy track record on stuff like this it's gonna end with me hoping probably.
