I suppose there might be some one-armed guy who enjoys strategy games and uses the mouse exclusively for all actions.
Which means that when that one-armed guy clicks off an event HE NEEDS TO MOVE HIS MOUSE TO THE CORNER AND QUICKLY PRESS THE BUTTON TO RE-PAUSE THE GAME.
THIS MAKES THE ISSUE EVEN WORSE!
HOLY SHIT PARADOX, HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO THAT POOR MAN, HE HAS SUFFERED ENOUGH!
There are a lot of one-armed activities on my computer. Playing PDS games is NOT one of them
You already bought the game. That's how you lose a voice. I learned my lesson with HoI3, I'll see if expansions fix things.
Um... *what* is how we/I lose a voice? My goal here isn't to be obnoxious or anti-PDS or anything along those lines. It's to provide feedback and to convey to Paradox the degree to which we are united in our hatred of this intentionally designed feature.
Except Thorin, of course, but he's simply wrong.
I don't mind it automatically pausing (though I really wish I could disable it for a lot of events) but this unpausing is actually pretty annoying.
Whatever rules HOI4 follows when unpausing it are simply different to how I play. There have been plenty of times when after some notification I'm in the research screen or national focus screen, notice that the game unpaused and had to quickly pause it again.
Events often push you onto screens like the research screen or national focus screen. I don't want it to unpause them game, where I get a research event, picked something to research and then switched to the national focus screen. If it unpaused when I went to the main map or something I wouldn't mind so much.
Yup, and as I hinted above, I can see this being useful for MP. Here's the thing though... how bout they simply add "auto-pause when something takes you directly to the Research or NF screen. Have MP setup to unpause once a Research or NF has been chosen.
That sounds like a very useful way to do it to me.
Nope, it is not a missclick. While the msg setup from EU iV would be a really good addition to both HOI IV and Stellaris, the unpause on discarding is not a bad thing. Takes some time to go with it, but currently it just saves me from actually unpausing the game.
Yeah, sorry, you're in the INCREDIBLY tiny minority. Most of us play with one hand on the space bar and it really doesn't take a lot of effort to move one finger almost an entire centimeter downwards to manually unpause the game. That SOUNDS sarcastic and insolent, but that's seriously all the effort most of us are asking to do. Move your space bar from unpressed to depressed.
Again... I don't mind the game not pausing when you unlock Research/NF. I'd prefer it does, but clicking on "Details" brings up the appropriate screen and auto-pauses the game. The game should NOT auto-un-pause when you're dismissing another notification because it is visually blocking you from reading the Research/NF screen. We're talking about the game un-pausing BEFORE we have read and chosen our Research/NF, we're not talking about the fact that you have to manually unpause after you choose your Research/NF. THAT is horribly poor design.
