How does pausing the game work?

[Daeryk]

If i pause the game in multiplayer or singleplayer the game stops, is not like an mmo

[Dirak2012]

It's not an MMO. I don't know since I don't really play mp, maybe you just phase out while the game is paused? 🤷‍♂️

The game doesn't pause when you are in multiplayer. If you hit ESC or go into camera mode everything keeps moving.

mmh no it happens only if i are in the anomaly

If nobody else is in your system you can pause your client.

If there is someone else in your system (or the Anomaly for example), then you can't.

Be aware though, if someone warps into your system your game WILL UNPAUSE. So, it's always best to make sure you're somewhere safe before you go make a sammich.

There are like trillions of stars.

So, are you LIKELY to meet someone unless you're in a well-traveled system or invite them to TP to your base from the Anomaly? Probably not.

But, it can happen.

maybe in the center of galaxy there's more probability to meet someone ?

There are certain areas the galaxy called community hubs where players gather. Find one of those and you will meet random people. Outside of that and the space anomaly odds of encountering another players are astronomically small.

You can search the web or this forum about community hubs.

If you turn off MP and go into camera mode...YOUR game is paused. There is no way for you to pause others playing the game. So if someone was in the system with you, they could continue to make discoveries or do whatever strikes their fancy. Their activity would not impact your pause in that case because you blotted them out of existence for your instance when you turned off MP...they can't see you.

I almost always have MP off when I play, but occasionally will turn it on in the anomaly or during an expedition, just to remind myself while I prefer it off.
