How to disable Game Pause?

[frau kaleun]

My only suggestion off the top of my head is to open the game folder, go in the data\Cfg folder and open Main.cfg (should open in Notepad).

The second section from the top should look like this:

[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=4
CriticalDamage=1
CrewEfficiency=1
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=2
CharacterAnim=4
EnemyDetected=8
RadioReport=8
Particles=8
PrayState=8
HunterState=32
3DRender=32
Maximum=1024

in an unmodded stock game. In an unmodded GWX3 game it would look like this:

[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=128
CriticalDamage=1
CrewEfficiency=1
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=2
CharacterAnim=4
EnemyDetected=8
RadioReport=8
Particles=32
PrayState=8
HunterState=32
3DRender=32
Maximum=1024

I don't know if any situation there refers specifically to the one that's causing you to go into Pause mode, but the only thing that should have a value of 0 is the first line, TimeStop.

If anything else has a value of 0, that may well be the problem. Anything with a value of 0 is gonna pause your game.

Note: You do not have to enter the Program files.

I set mine as follows:
[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=1
CriticalDamage=1
CrewEfficiency=1
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=2
CharacterAnim=4
EnemyDetected=1
RadioReport=1
Particles=1
PrayState=1
HunterState=1
3DRender=32
Maximum=1024

It's praystate. That needs to be at least 1. It's whenever an enemy detects you. I have mine set for 32 so I don't get overly bored during DC attacks (I dive below their range).

Why praystate? Why not preystate? Sigh... ubi.....

I kinda thought it had to be that one if it was anything in there - nothing else would match up to the situation involved.

And "PrayState" is a good name for it!

I hadn't even noticed your comment about "preystate" when I wrote that, but I was wondering myself if it was a misspelling of that or if they really meant to indicate "this is the time in the game when you start praying."

It was a misspelling. It was discussed back when SH3 was first released, for all of you too young to have been here at the time.

Actually, the Romanians and the Japanese can't pronounce "L".
