Bach_Treebane Posted July 6, 2024 Report Posted July 6, 2024 Pressing escape pauses your game, but only for a non-descript amount of time. This sucks, cause you think the game is paused so you can go do something, but it is not.
LadyWYT Posted July 6, 2024 Report Posted July 6, 2024 That's a bit odd. I'm certain that I've paused my game via the escape key many times and walked off to do something else for a while. It's always been fine when I came back later--still paused. Have you installed any mods lately that could be affecting your game? 1
Thorfinn Posted July 6, 2024 Report Posted July 6, 2024 It does happen from time to time and I have no idea why. I just come back to my computer several hours later and see I died ages ago. So far, the handbook pause has never failed. Or at least I wasn't AFK long enough to notice it wasn't properly paused.
Maelstrom Posted July 8, 2024 Report Posted July 8, 2024 I have yet to see Esc not pause the game in over 2 years of playing. I think everyone saying otherwise is plain looney tunes! But, I've never left the game on pause for more than about 10 minutes. If I know I will be gone that long I just quit to desktop.
xXx_Ape_xXx Posted July 8, 2024 Report Posted July 8, 2024 If playing on a server, it does not pause the game.. in single player, it does pause the game. 1

Last night I started a game, moved a couple hundred blocks and paused with Escape. Everything looked paused, so I went to bed. When I got to that machine an hour or so ago, the game was still paused, but my poor seraph had frozen to death. Minimal mods, and none that should make any difference. And it's so hit or miss you can't reproduce it. Maybe I'll give it another whirl with pure vanilla tonight, but like I said, it's nothing consistent that I can put my finger on.

xXx_Ape_xXx Posted July 9, 2024 Report Posted July 9, 2024 @Thorfinn Hm never had that happen to me, strange, almost like the time doesn't stop even tho it says paused.
Thorfinn Posted July 9, 2024 Report Posted July 9, 2024 I wish I paid more attention because it would be nice to have some specifics. It's so infrequent I wasn't expecting it this time, either. I don't even remember if VS was in focus, or if I had alt-tabbed out to something else.
WinnieTaylor Posted January 4 Report Posted January 4 I will no longer use pause. Instead, just quit. I have paused in single player and, after an extended period of time, I have respawned with no explanation in the logs. I am convinced that there is a pause timeout. The VS developers should have been clearer about this.

WinnieTaylor Posted January 4 Report Posted January 4 (edited) If you pause for an extended time, you will be respawned, that is not clear in the online docs. I do not find any reason in the logs. Reproduce it? That would require I pause the game and wait an extended period of time for it to respawn. I'll just quit and restart the game and only use the pause function for short periods of time. Calling people Looney Tunes is not necessary. Long live VS! Edited January 4 by WinnieTaylor

How long are we talking about? I pause the game all the time and walk away and I've never seen this. Granted it's usually about an hour at maximum, since that is what it takes me to get my kids ready and in bed.
