FREEZING ENEMIES IN PLACE WITH INVENTORY - GAME BREAKING

[pink]

devs,

thank you for adding hotkeys but with this change you have to make it so opening your inventory (displaying it on the floor) NO LONGER PAUSES ENEMIES IN PLACE. You can sit in the inventory and heal up to full hp and then close your inventory and resume your fight.

Furthermore, you can throw grenades and time bombs at enemies and then open the inventory to pause them in place and the explosives still go off - this completely takes any threat of the enemies attacks away or having to time grenade throws or try to position them in places where you bait the enemies.

Its completely cheating and nullifies the sense of threat from enemies.

This does not occur in The Forest 1 - if you open your tab enemies can still slap the heck outta you!

I understand this may have been like that due to not having hot keys but it has to be changed now!

thanks


edit: as discussed below. this occurs on hard in SOTF. In TF1 the wiki says

Taken from The Forest Wiki - In Normal Mode while using Single-player, the game will pause, however will prevent stamina regeneration. In Hard Mode, Hard Survival Mode and all modes of Multiplayer, accessing the inventory does not pause the game, thus allowing stamina regeneration and continuing the game normally as if the inventory wasn't opened.


can you please make hard on SOTF have enemies whoop yo butt when you open inventory?

If you play single player in the forest it absolutely pauses the game as it does in sons of the forest. Playing multiplayer (In both games) does not pause it.

So simply play multi player, or choose not to take advantage of this. Ultimately, since this only happens in single player it is a tool you as a player get to choose to use or ignore.

Idk what your doing wrong, but I am correct. I've opened my inventory countless times (on single player) in the original game and it pauses the game. Are you positive you did not start on multi-player?

Just for added color. Update 0.21 to the forest back in 2015 added this functionality. This is searchable on the wiki or Google.

I just booted my game and confirmed - Now I'll record it.

I believe you. But I'm telling you this is not normal behavior. Something is wrong, your running mods or have some kind of issue with the game files or are overlooking something.

You can confirm this by performing a few searches on Google. I also have over a hundred hours in the the forest and can reiterate that on single player it pauses and on multiplayer it does not.

Why your experiencing this I cannot say. But it is not normal for the item menu to not pause the game on singe player mode.

Hope this helps.

This only works in single player, if you play online with friends on a server this does not happen,

or you can play Online solo

this is how it functions in single player in the forest


why are the enemies paused in single player in SOTF? It makes so easy to cheese every encounter. you can open your inventory and heal to full while enemies cannot hit you

Bro, that's not how it works. Some setting or mod or something you have is causing this

[nicepantslance]

Ataxio, You're dreaming. The Forest, and Sons of the Forest, doesn't pause the game when you open your inventory. Never was a thing, isnt a thing now. We dont have mods on our games, and if anything this game would require a mod to pause the game when opening the inventory

Wrong. The game is paused in SOTF when you open the inventory. ENEMIES WILL NOT HIT YOU

You can freeze the enemies in place when you throw grenades at them or heal up.

I'm not using any mods wtf? lmfao

Taken from The Forest Wiki - In Normal Mode while using Single-player, the game will pause, however will prevent stamina regeneration. In Hard Mode, Hard Survival Mode and all modes of Multiplayer, accessing the inventory does not pause the game, thus allowing stamina regeneration and continuing the game normally as if the inventory wasn't opened.

Correct. On hard in SOTF enemies will pause.
