Does anyone actually know how to fix the game being stuck paused when it loads ?

[grolbu]

Load the game, choose the correct save game, the start button appears normally, click start, start button disappears but I'm still looking at the loading screen with the hints ... Press esc and get taken into the esc menu, I can flick between screens ok, when I try to exit the menu I'm stuck at the spawn point looking at a deserted farmyard with a "the game is paused" message over the top, and the only thing that works is killing the game in task manager.

It's not a mod conflict, I've taken everything out of the mods folder except the map I'm playing (Mercury Farms) and it still didn't work.

I was running version 1.2 when it started, I tried verifying files (nope) and installing the 1.3 beta (nope). So I put everything back in the mods folder and started a new save on the same map with the same mods and that is fine, so I'm thinking it's something stuffed in one of the savegame xml files but I'm a potato and have no idea where to look.

It sounds from searching for an answer like it's a fairly common problem, but everyone just shrugs and starts a new game, the only fixes I've seen offered were 'don't save the game while it's paused' (I didn't) and 'it sounds like a mod conflict' (nope).

Anyone ?

I've had that happen, and realized some maps only work on certain difficulty, meanig new farmer, start from scratch and that 3rd one.

Not sure that's the problem here, the map had been working fine (in new farmer mode) for 3-4 real world days then it just stopped. The new savegame I started on the same map was also in new farmer, with all the same mods, and it was fine. It's weird ...

Try deleting the Shader cache folder in documents / mygames / FS19 I have no idea why but this solves a lot of game not launching issues.

I think I've seen that mentioned too, good thought. Didn't fix the problem though, that save is still paused LOL

Have you checked your log file? it's in the same location as shader cache, labelled, log.txt. Look for error reports

I figured out if you hit the continue button, then go to the map and jump into a vehicle, it unpauses and the game works again.

The problem I found is that my pointer is then stuck and I can't rotate the screen around. So basically figured out how to solve the pausing problem but it just caused another issue.

Yeah dude just Had the same issue. load the save then click start when its done then click ESC on the loading page ( picture of the map ) that gets stuck then go over to the settings and click Continue to unpause it for some reason it gets stuck :S then go back over to map then click to enter a vehicle

yes i figure out how to fix my issue i had to remove all of the season mods as well as global mods

I ran into an issue loading a save with one map, but it would always freeze up and when looking in task manager the game wasn't responding.
Would only happen if I had a tree I tried to cut down and it did something strange, but roll back to an earlier save game backup and would load fine. In my case I think the map creator messed something up with some trees. If I am careful I can cut those trees down and not have an issue.

Check the logfile, usually strange loading issues is caused by a bad mod that is purchased (Vehicle) or built (Building.)
The logfile will usually give a clue when you try to load the game and you can find the offending vehicle if that is the case.
Had this issue on 13 and 15, the game would run fine when buying the vehicle, using the vehicle and even saving the game.
However when time came to load, it would interpret the corrupted vehicle and the game would crash / freeze.
