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.

This feature is terrible and needs to go. There is absolutely no justification for having a setting force a change in the gameflow state here without the option to disable it. Either the game does not unpause, or it allows you to disable its unpause. Pausing in the first place can make sense, to give you a chance to respond. UNpausing is basically a QOL addition and nothing more, but it's HURTING the quality of life for most of us. Get rid of it or make it optional.

Just for clarity's sake, are you referring to old PDS games, or were you a beta player for HOI4 and you're referring to HOI4 settings that they changed prior to the release of the game?
HoI 3 TFH - if I had beta tested this I would have bought it maybe in 2018 after the second expansion. They dumbed too many working systems and using the AI more instead the player is a very sick idea (battle plans).

Unless he is playing on a laptop using the touchpad and has one finger ready to hit the space bar at all times like I do. On a more serious note, the lack of UI notification and pause/unpause options in both HoI4 and Stellaris is quite annoying, especially at the times when I am on speed 5.

Supported, it makes me wanna hack HoI IV's AI on one of the Paradoxian's Roomba's and watch it hump a table leg instead of going around it cause lets waste half our force when we could Blitz around it.

It tells you something about the PDX responsiveness to player requests to change things that we ( insert 'people who bought the game' here ) would like changed or put back into the game or just questions about certain game mechanics they simply ignore the whole thread or specific post.:mad:

I'm going to reply to my reply. AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!! Every time I try to treat this game like its a stand alone game and not a continuation of the HOI series games I get pulled right back into my anger. I'm trying not to just gripe. I get it. The size and scale of HOI3 turned off some players. They made an entirely new and different game. But my god!!! Whatever info I seem to need at any given moment is never available. I can't get a quick glance sit rep. I'm always pausing and scrolling around the globe to check all my battles. Not to mention checking all my provinces to see if I'm being attacked anywhere. Where do I see a total of all equipment in the field and in reserve? Including obsolete and foreign stuff? Where can I get a count of manpower in the field?? No. The manpower mouse over on the top of the screen does not give this. It gives a total including troops training. This number is being calculated somewhere, because the game knows if I have enough to trigger a focus. Where can I find it? Why just throw out things that weren't even controversial in HOI3??? Nobody complains about being able to customize their reports. Or at least I hope not. That's like complaining if you have the CHOICE of putting cheese on your hamburger. So you'd rather be told how you're going to get your burger? Why in the world are all the oceans just full of troops floating around?!?! Why do I keep finding MY troops going for a swim as well?!?!? When my generals won't launch an amphibious assault, but they will gladly get on a boat without orders and look for British warships? Ugh. Why does the computer strategically move 2 provinces over ON THE FRONT LINE after I take a province?!?!? Hey thanks bub. You just stalled the offensive. Great job. I had an army of 10 infantry divisions just go abandon the front line and go holiday in Venice. I didn't change their orders. I had a division just completely vanish from the game while attacking. Why? So. I'm Germany. Did all the pertinent national foci. Took back my cities like strassburg, Mulhouse, Metz, Danzig, Posen etc (I used the German names for these cities). Now I have partisan revolts?!?! What? These are majority ethnic German cities taken by the treaty of Versailles. So why unrest? Why not in Austria then? Or lubeck? Or Pomerania? Oh god. Please tell me why the Hungarian tanks are floating in the English Channel?!?! Or what country are those? I can't freaking tell the flag is so tiny. Why the heck did Italy DOW on Greece with just one cavalry division in Albania and nothing else?!?! And why the heck did I get half the country?!?! Why did Hungary go to war with Romania over Transylvania but I'm the one who got Transylvania? As Germany?!?! Since when do German tanks not need gasoline to drive around?!?! Did the wermacht go buy from tesla motors?!?! Ugh.

I hate auto unpause.
I have 100 hours with the game, but I simply can't cope with this bug any more. It's not a major issue but it's a very-very annoying one. Solving it would be very easy for PDS, so please fix it for 1.1 or even better in a hotfix.

I've been away for a while, but I could swear this mechanic is at least partially unique to HOI. AFAIK in EU you can at least actively pause again, to maintain the pause after the popup is dismissed thus letting you choose for yourself.

I rather enjoy that feature.

Please, this has nothing to do with auto un-pause.

I don't want issues to get confused. The auto un-pause issue is not an issue only for grognards who are looking for HOI3.5. It's a quality of life change that affects all players. All of them.
