FogForever Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Playing my first PBEM, plotting second turn and suddenly I am having problems with the hotkey pause (p) command. I plotted a number of units already and used p incremental pause a number of times without a problem. Now suddenly, when I select the hotkey P button to insert a variable time delay to waypoints or even from the starting point, the p key instead activates the general "total" pause command when first selected, and selecting the hotkey P button a second time does nothing. The total pause remains on. To remove the total pause, I have to select, the little clock pause. I have tried saving the turn and closing the game and restarting. Problem remains. I have also checked my cap locks and number lock but no change. And as far as I have checked, only the P hotkey is not working properly. Has anybody else seen this? Is there something simple I am overlooking? Is there another way to implement variable time delay without using the P hotkey? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FogForever Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Still looking at it. Oddly if I select the P button or the pause command button 10 times, the general pause will disappear. However I still can't implement the timed pause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 That's very odd. I'm surprised that the "plain indefinite pause" function even can be hotkeyed. Might be worth resetting the hotkeys.txt file to default if you've changed it at all... Has to be done with the program inactive, IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FogForever Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) I haven't changed anything in the hotkeys file but I did look at it and it still lists P for pause. Weird. Also the p key worked at the start of the turn. And worked most of the turn. Plotting orders for the last 4 units is when the problem appeared. Anyway, I opened a help desk ticket but I was certainly hoping it would be something simple I have overlooked. Playing without variable pause time is a significant handicap.

FogForever Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) And just to check, I started up a different scenario and the P hotkey works fine. Looks like something happening specifically within that particular PBEM turn. Maybe I need to reload the PBEM turn and redo from the very start.

womble Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 That's really weird. It'd be useful to have that hotkey bind available all the time (to put on a different key) to save having to stab a button with the mouse to clear timed Pauses without having to click/press multiple times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FogForever Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Well, I just reloaded the turn and started over. So far, the p key is working fine. The best I can guess is something hiccupped while I was doing the turn. Hopefully I can get the turn done without the problem reappearing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I just thought it funny that you made all those posts and fixed the problem yourself without any help from anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
