with controller connected while using kb/m select exit game, then resume, then just move the joystick and controller prompts show up and hit A/X button. pain in the ass but it's a functioning workaround that isn't too annoying.

"With a controller to exit the game I have to pause, select exit/quit, then resume the game and the exit confirmation prompt turns up and that only seems to work with the controller. The confirmation dialog acts strangely if I'm pointed at a container." thank you, I will try this.

broken mod with no support - does not allow exiting game

This is aged but it works "fine", maybe a bit less - but it's convenient.

With a controller to exit the game I have to pause, select exit/quit, then resume the game and the exit confirmation prompt turns up and that only seems to work with the controller. The confirmation dialog acts strangely if I'm pointed at a container.

Other annoyance is that Enter Creative Mode isn't on the modded pause menu.

DOesn't work and the IQOL shift=esc pause doesn't work either

have to use ctrl alt del to exit game

Controller stops working when you pause and go to settings. have to use a mouse to get out of it

@Paolini Shit+Esc is indeed an IQOL feature not vanilla, and IQOL is also causing crashes, so ... any altenative out there?

Just press SHIFT + ESC and the game will pause (in singleplayer).
This is maybe a feature of the iQoL mod not sure but everyone should use that anyway.

guys all you have to do to quit game is hit enter after selecting it... just used it lol

crashes for me : (

How do I use creative mode with this mod?

You can quit the game, CantPlayJack has this workaround:
If you're having problems exiting, do this: Escape->Quit Game->Resume->Enter
This allows you to exit the game "normally". As much of a pain as this is, it's better than not being able to pause.

It does indeed pause the game. But pressing quit game initiates a text box that does not work. Have to exit game using windows button or ctrl alt del. Also, it gets rid of creative mode as a menu option.

aww its broken... it works, but when you try and exit the game it wont let you exit...

Still working? Need this!!!!

It works, but crashes game here and there. Disabled it and have not had a single crash.

Wish someone would remake this mod

it's broken and some messages are break the game

It does work, but time very slowly will creep by (very slowly) and you can die from thirst or starvation...

Appears to be broken. Work around with esc, quit, resume, enter not working.

@Nathan the Dwarven Shark> HOLY CRAP IT DOES. Thank you.

Still works on the base game. When its time to close the game hit Quit and then Resume. Then your stuck not being able to click Yes or No just hit enter then your back to the main menu. Would be nice if someone that knows how could take a look and make a new version of this.

FREEDOOM!!!

Thank you for doing what the incapable devs wont

Mod works great for me. Thank you for making this!

This mod gave me a blue screen of death, please use at your own risk

@can'tplayjack what mod is that from? and is it a true pause everything or more like a pausing of time and thats it?

@Nathan the Dwarven Shark. Nope doesn´t work for me. Just tried it. Need this mod.

is it this mod that F's up exiting the game and not being able to quit properly and having to manually press enter and stuff? or is this like an innate problem? I'm sorry if it's not related

@Nathan, thank you!

Shift+esc when you are an admin in singleplayer pauses/freezes the game.

Doesn't work. Countdown timers still run.

The shift+esc function is from a different mod.

Uh, no the f*ck you can't! Shift+ESC does nothing

You can just press shift+Esc to pause in singleplayer

I really love this mod and concept but it has one big problem. The mod forces the pause menu screen to overlap secondary menu options. Pause, Quit Game, "Are you sure you want to quit?" option stays behind the pause screen. i would love to see this fixed

Awesome! This works okay regardless of the flaw, after hitting quit game it won't go to the quit option, but once you hit resume it pops up as normal. Also controller button inputs don't work, which makes it impossible to exit the settings menu with controller. easy fixed though, press any button on the keyboard a few times and the input mode changes, then when you get back into game pick up the controller again.

Overall the convenience greatly outweighs the inconvenience. My thanks!

@Ronin: same, but i just press ENTER to confirm quitting.

cant quit game:
I play Vannilla map/old map have no siptah, when i hit ESC (pause works fine) klick on quit game and the windows pops up "u want to quit Y/N?" cant hit Yes.
Need to stop the Programm from windows hotbar.

An alternative that I tried out briefly is a program called "universal pause button", basically it's an app that runs in the background and when you hit pause it'll suspend (pause) the game. I didn't try it thoroughly on this game but I use it all the time on monster hunter world.

This mod is officially broken with the Siptah release. If you are looking for an alternative, Improved Quality of Life has a Shift+Esc pause function.

If you're having problems exiting, do this: Escape->Quit Game->Resume->Enter
This allows you to exit the game "normally". As much of a pain as this is, it's better than not being able to pause.

Yes, bugged. No response. Game over. lol

Yup, this is bugged. I couldn't exit the game properly. Had to Alt+F4 it... :-/

Are you able to update it? I don't think it works anymore.

Seems to be outdated. It bugs the esc menu making it unusable. Don't recommend using this unless it's updated after this comment is posted. Really wish this was just part of the game...

@exit-button-issue: press button to exit game or go to main menu -> press resume -> hit "enter" on keyboard

Still working for me:
It is highly affected by load-order.
Try moving it to the bottom.
However, this will ofc affect other mods that add buttons or do other changes to the esc-menu.
But these mods will likely still work if the menu-part is only for configuration.
Thats my experience so far so maybe it won't work for you.
(I disable pause-mod and do changes to other mods and re-enable it. Fortunately I have to access these buttons only once at game start.)

doesnt work anymore
