Is there a way to enable spacebar pausing for multiplayer? I have a small group I play with regularly and we find that during certain hectic war maneuvers that we've ended up getting wiped out due to not being able to move the mouse up to click pause fast enough. It seems like all Clausewitz games only let you pause with the spacebar in single player. Any solutions for this?

Use the "pause" button on the keyboard. spacebar is disabled in MP because its even more annoying when people accidentally pause all the time when trying to type in chat which usually happens more often
You can download keyboard remapping software to fix problems like this. You can alternatively remap pause to a mouse button (like mouse button 3 perhaps).
What button is that? I only know of spacebar for pausing, and I'm not even being sarcastic here. I genuinely didn't know there was a 'pause' button.
When one is too use to singleplayer it can become a habit to press space a lot, this does not work well in a Multiplayer setting.
If you're playing on a keyboard like the on I'm currently typing on then there is none. It's usually hanging around above home, end and insert.
I agree i'm glad it's not in multiplayer or I would really irritate people. It's just an instinct to hit pause when doing things.
Give us an option menu toggle then, please, that should solve both sides, ye?
In all my MP games, we never used the chat ONCE, because, hurdur, voicecommunication?

i rarely play multiplier. A friend of mine just got the game and i have bin playing with him / giving him tips. Not having the pause button is driving me crazy. I can see the argument for not having it, but not for having it be a toggled option. If your playing a big game full of pick ups i understand why it would be annoying as (F WORD), but with just 2 people playing a co op game, there no reason not to have it.
Exactly this.
I'm regularly annoyed, as well, as you're just used to using space bar from singleplayer and suddenly nothing happens.
On top of that, the Pause button is not that good to reach on the keyboard.
Pro tip:
Add keymapping options to your games, Paradox. Most games have them. It shouldnt be too hard either.

Intersting....I've just learned from this thread that <space> pauses the game. I've always used the <pause> key....
Look how old this thread is and to this day, we still don't have a fix. Such simple thing to add, improving greatly quality of gameplay. Shame.
