Game Pack 19 2010
Pause mode In the previous versions of Game Pack, there was a pause mode that could be activated with the “ALT” key and was automatically deactivated when the game window loosed the focus. Game Pack has now a new pause mode, called “Ice Pause”, that as says the name, freezes the game status, when the window looses the focus. So you can open other windows or other programs, when the game windows is in the Ice Pause mode, without effects in the game progress. Nota dolente delle precedenti versioni era proprio la modalità di pausa dei giochi, infatti essa, azionata dalla pressione del tasto ALT veniva automaticamente disattivata quando la finestra non era in primo piano. Tale condizione impediva all’utente l’esecuzione di qualsiasi altro programma durante la pausa del gioco.
ICE PAUSE The Ice Pause mode is automatically activated when the game window loses the focus, for example when you open another windows or another software.
Old pause mode (Flash Pause) Game Pack has also the old “Flash Pause” mode. You can activate it just clicking the “ALT” key from the keyboard. Remember that the game will be blocked only if the window has the focus.
