[DETAILS NEEDED] 'New Contact' in pop-up not pausing game.

[ColonelMolerat]

I've set 'New Contact' messages to display in a pop-up menu, in the hopes it will pause the game.

Sometimes the game pauses, sometimes it doesn't. I can't work out why... It doesn't seem to depend on contact type. Shouldn't it always pause?

Attached is the save I've been playing from.

Is this happening for anyone else?

[ColonelMolerat]

I've asked on an old thread, but I was worried I was necroing it, so I was hoping someone might chime in here.

I've been playing a lot at max speed [30 mins (1800x)] on this mission. Could it be related to that?

[Dannyp19]

I get this on occasion when playing at high time speeds (1 min. and above) and a lot of contacts appear. Cant say it really bothers me. I always hit 1sec using "numpad enter" when I get a pop-up anyway when Im playing at >30 sec.

Yes I get this as well, perhaps 1 - 5% of the time. I have never been able to pinpoint why it happens or been able to reproduce it so I never mentioned it here, but it happens.

I haven't really noticed it happen to me, but I play mainly on 1 or 5 second intervals; rarely go higher than 15 - my games take a looong time[:D]. I would assume if your playing on larger intervals and/or multiple contacts, it might take some time to process them before pausing even after the pop up shows. [&:]

Even so, I get my pop up contact box with several messages present in one pause. I'll pay more attention to my test games to see if there is a pattern, or doesn't pause.
