The game 'paused' as the data stream was lost and is waiting until the server and user can line up again. (This can take more time then just force closing and restarting at times)The most part that I find is the the GPU is getting hot or has been running at 100% to long.If you are running a server with 4 or 6 gig card then you need more GPU as this game is a HOG. 11 to 16 gig but Im now looking at 32 gig Graph 512 bit and this data should stop having the problem. (over kill as you would think)Also In my findings its some mods play a HUGE part in the server data loss.First thing to look at?If your running a server, unload all your mods and work out which is the problem.Problems with: LCDS mods, SPEED mods, and NANITES mods. The first in my list that should be used lightly or not at all.Large platforms. Limit your PCU to no more then 300,000 or less for the world.Doing this will lower big ships as I have one thats 350k and LCDs. It lags the system coming in and out with wait times up to five minutes.The game has limits and there are still bugs in the system.
Take your time and add some limits to better stream you game data with less down time and no more or short 'Paused' times.We know you have the best system ever made and this shouldn't happen, but it will.
Go to console. Enter the following line by line (uh, paragraph by paragraph):bind p pausetogglealias pausetoggle pauseonalias pauseoff 'svpausable 1; pause; wait 10; svpausable 0; alias pausetoggle pauseon; echo pauseOFF'alias pauseon 'svpausable 1; pause; wait 10; svpausable 0; alias pausetoggle pauseoff; echo pauseON'Alternatively paste them in your config.cfg file in left4dead2 folder.:)Edit: Thanks to Lee, I will add this part on where to find your folder. Mine is for windows 8 or 8.1, so all you have to do is google where your default L4D2 folder is for your operating system.C:Program Files x86:Steam:SteamApps:Common:Left 4 Dead 2:left4dead2:cfg:And look for your config.cfg or autoexec.cfg. Make one if it doesn't exist. Be sure to enable 'View file extensions' so you can make a text file, put in the commands, but change the extension to '.cfg'.
How To Unpause A Ing Game On Steam Pc
It is advised to just make autoexec.cfg as messing with config.cfg could cause problems like the game automatically undoing your changes etc.As the name suggests, autoexec=automatic execution. No further action is required on your part. Isn't the Source Engine a wonderfully poorly coded thing?:D. Works on any server?Only local hosting server, as you need permission to edit the server variable, svpausable, to 1 before game can be paused. It should also work on a dedicated server as long as an admin/moderator has been given permission to edit the sv, but it may require different commands, like how sourcemod commands are 'smcvar' instead of just 'c'.is there a way to not have to type this every time i change map and just keep it like that?Yup, just put it into your autoexec.cfg as stated above and it will load every time even if you change map or restart L4D2.
