ES should've left it as a semitransparent text

I think I have the same problem but since I use a smaller screen size(To save against lag,but I still get it AlOT) I can't really say that it's gotten THAT big

I think the only thing is to try and remod the image back into text or remove patch data

how do you do stuff while paused, as soon as I click the screen the game resumes. Unless there is some other type of pause other than clicking the menu button.

I think maybe it was intended to be that way. I see it as cheap to pause in order to command all your units so that you can win a battle. Pausing should be for when you have to go to the bathroom really badly, not to gain an unfair advantage over your opponent.

in the my documents portion of the install, go into the startup folder. make a file called user.cfg with wordpad or textpad. then add this line:
hidepopups

that will remove the pause box. if you want to skip the intro cinematics, include this line as well:
+nointrocinematics

I use alt-Pause or Function-Pause (Dell vs HP) and that allows me to click on stuff, or move the ROI around.

Pausing just to issue orders is kinda being a dick. Don't do it. A lot of people will not let you pause at all because of this sort of thing, it's hard enough to get them to let you pause to take a leak or defuse a screeching toddler who brought down a plastic toy shelf on themselves.

I'm assuming he does that in Single Player, but I could be wrong.

Either way, ES probably created that horrible pause box because of the countless "How do I unpause after loading?" threads. IMO they should have just replaced the "paused" line for "PRESS PAUSE KEY".

Tanks to Kuzyk I got rid ove this annoying pause screen. tx alot.

For those who think that pausing a game for reasigning units is bad and not fair-play I want to tell you this:


Fist ove all I only play campaign mode.

1)I'm a control freak, this game is about managing units and telling them what to do all the time. May I remind you that their is no + or - key to slow movement...

2)I should have done this and that! sometimes it's frustrating to see units behavior gettin killed for nottin and waste ammo: I find it hard to beleive that all my canons are aiming the same time at the first enemy in sigh, it only takes one shut to kill why waste ammo, reloading takes a lot of time why cant i manage to tell every one of my unit dont shout at the same time... you know in football MAN ON MAN...

Also AI is very poor sometimes

Try this trick assign 1 to an hero in front, 2345678 to canons in the baCk of the formation. The AI will try to kill the first unit they see: the hero... just place an healer at 9 and your good to bee invincible, you just have to pause and telling each canon wich unit to kill...
