  • A Game of Dwarves
I'm not sure if this is a new issue in 1.02 but it seems that I can no longer pause the game.

Yes, I know about the space bar and the game does display the "paused" symbol in the upper left corner... but the game only slows down quite a bit.
Dwarves do not stop moving or working.

This is especially noticeable with very fast dwarves such as fully buffed workers.




Probably unrelated:

The gradual slow-down when pausing the game was probably intended to look cool.
When the map is starting to bog down (from being heavily dug-out?) it takes about 6 seconds for "pause" to slow down the dwarves far enough to be able to reliably hit their upgrade buttons or collect them with the teleport tool.
It doesn't sound like much but a UI with 6000ms lag is not a lot of fun.
