Summary​

Game Keeps Pausing and Unpausing Itself

Description​

The game keeps pausing and unpausing itself at random. At first I thought it was maybe my notification settings for events, but I disabled that and it’s still happening. What’s really infuriating is when it unpauses itself while I’m catching up on things.

Steps to reproduce​

It just happens

Hi! The issue doesn't reproduce on the autosave with default settings, so something must be off either in your pause settings or pause keybinds that cause it to trigger. Could you try backing up your savegames and deleting the Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria 3 folder to re-set the settings?
