CI 3.0.1 random logouts

Have you tried setting the $config['sess_time_to_update'] to 0 so that session is not regenerated automatically.

That might help.

I actually changed that to 1 just to mess with it to see if that was the issue. I looked at the code and it looks like there is locking to prevent this issue. I haven't had it happen since I posted this so I am guessing I might have been deleting the database (which is do often during development)
