Pause key
« 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.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

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.
