Title: Pause key
Post by: Virus Bomb on June 03, 2013, 07:35:04 PM
Because my laptop doesn't have a pause key, I had to use AutoHotkey to remap one of the keys (decimal point key on the numpad) to function as a pause key. It works for every game I have on my laptop except RA2  :rage ... anyway to make it work? Definitely want it to make building bots with pistons a little easier and for taking better battleshots.

As far as i know, the new pause button binding (as found in newer keyboards) doesn't work with RA2, cause instead of a system pause its a media/music pause.

Could be wrong tho, but pause don't work on my laptop either.

Likewise, my HP's pause key doesn't work, and given all the issues I have with wedges I've found RA2 a nightmare to operate :/

On my HP laptop the pause key works perfectly.
As for your problem, you could use an external keyboard on the USB.
I use sometime.

I might try that; can't believe I forgot about a fairly obvious solution  :facepalm:

This solution has worked for me. Forgot to mention it.
