Author Topic: Make the squads menu pause by default (and allow other menus to unpause)  (Read 487 times)

The squads menu is kind of wonky in that it is the only menu that does not pause the game when it is opened. I like the option to have the action continue while the menu is open (in fact, it would also be nice if we could unpause in other menus like the 'v' and 'q' menus), but having it behave differently than all other menus is somewhat disruptive, especially since this is arguably the menu where pausing is most necessary (as the subjects of the 'q' and 't' menus aren't going to move, but many targets are).

I would suggest making all menus autopause the game, including (s)quads. Furthermore, if possible it would be really nice if we could pause and unpause in other menus without closing them like we can with the squads menu now.

I second this.
But it is better if we can configure that.

I already have a habit to pause the game before opening a menu, just in case unexpected things happen when I close the menu.
