Re: Can not pause game using shortcut

I actually have the same problem every once in a while.

I am using the german client of Simcity 5 in which pause is usually bound to the "^"-key left to the "1"-key. Sometimes however this doesn't work.

I tried pressing "SHIFT + ALT" (this switches the keyboard layout in Windows) and after that it worked just fine. The thing about this though is, that I didn't hit that combination before, so it shouldn't have switched to a different layout in the first place...just very weired.

Anyways, maybe that will also help you with your problem.

    Indeed, f4ir8or is spot on, I seen this strange behaviour for several other games, it is just weird.
