How to not pause when alt tabing?

[SuperMad]

There used to be a cheat engine trick, but it doesnt seem to work anymore for me at least. I have waiting a few minutes in game when flying somewhere. I would rather watch utube in that time :|
I am in borderless mode

hi

it is because you are in borderless mode.. in windowed borderless, the game will pause when you alt-tab. if you are in full screen it will not.

as far as i know, there is no other way to run in alt tab other than full screen. you can however.. iirc, run a browser while in steam overlay, can't remember if overlay pauses game. i don't think it does. that might be a solution.

all the best.

Directly ALT-TAB from the 3d world without going in the menu with ESC or P, this should make the game going on while you are on your desktop. I have done it in the past to complete the Extreme Planet Milestones by simply standing in a building.
I play fullscreen however, I don't know how it works out in Borderless.

I play fullscreen-windowed and if I directly alt+tab, most things keep running; if I hit ESC first, it pauses.

Cheat engine modifies pause detection code is still working. Probably you need recheck your aobscan and auto assembly code.

I can check code for you if you don't know how.

Ye, im really a user of it, i just used to use this preset already done ages ago. The problem is with the injection, im unable to activate it. Doesnt work with a shortcut ingame as well.
