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?

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?

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.
