GPL: Bug during PAUSE mode

by MeatWate » Mon, 02 Nov 1998 04:00:00

Last night I started a training session for a short race. When the phone
rang, I activated the PAUSE option. As usual, in the upper right corner of
the screen was a "live" picture of the racetrack, but hey: although time was
standing still (I mean the counter on the bottom), the AI cars were still
qualifying. I might not be a competitive driver (yet), but it ain't fair
that these guys "ignore" my pause.

You most likely weren't watching a live feed, and were instead watching
part of the buffered replay prior to the pause.

Hmmmm, I'll have to check that. This was very suspicious as the replay, if
it was one, lasted very long (some 3 minutes) with 19 AI cars and 64MB RAM.

Hope you're right :-)

Sounds like you hit escape, not the pause button.

When I hit Pause, everything stops, it does not go to the menu screen.

Sh**, my mistake! Ignore the above post.
