Solved Game locked in Paused mode
-
Hi, today my game has started to experience strange behaviour where when pressing the CAPS LOCK key it puts the game into Paused mode. Pressing it again or P, the assigned key, doesn’t cancel Paused. All the other keys and cockpit buttons seem to work normally (they click and a sound plays, but I can’t tell if they’re effective - the game is paused). I can change views and I can ESC out of the game.
I have a (forced) dump file if that help.

Getting a medal implies you completed the campaign and hence the game paused itself. Congratulations!

@CriticalMass haven’t heard of anything like this … no solid ideas.
for starters, what theater is this (stock KTO)?
does it flash “Pause” or “Freeze” in red letters at the top of the screen?
and what is your key file. does it repro if you change key file to one of the stock standard ones (eg. BMS-Full.key or BMS-Minimum.key)
-
Sorry, this is Balkans, but I’ve been playing the same theatre for 20-30 missions.
It shows “Paused” at the top of the screen. Interestingly, if I ESC out of 3D and back into 2D, the game is stopped and I cannot change the time from the drop-down, or go back into 3D. All the keys do the right thing in the key mappings screens in Alternate Launcher and the in-game controllers’ screen.
I’ll experiment a bit when I get back to the game.
Thanks

Does this happen in a TE or in a campaign? If in a campaign, did you just win it?
-
@johku err wait what now?!
I did get a medal (a Korean medal in the Balkans)!
Ill take a look later - where do Iook? Never won anything ever

yep, that looks like what happened! I ran the campaign in 2D and it stops running.
Still not completely obvious that it’s won, lost or drawn, but I’ll take the medal.
TANX!!

Me neither
What’s more annoying is that I literally spent the whole afternoon trying to “fix” it: macine restarts; various combinations of hardware; various combinations of software…
To the Victor the spoils

@CriticalMass look at your logbook, under campaign, you’ll see something like 1/0/0 = won/loss/tied

Probably more than 1 if he tried to fix it a whole afternoon.
