Gamers have been flooding to try the latest game from developers, FromSoftware. Elden Ring<\/a> is one of the highest anticipated games for 2022, and since its launch on February 25, players have been flooding the servers to try out this game. However, in true \u2018Dark Souls\u2019 fashion, players soon discovered that the Elden Ring has no pause function<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The developers feel that this adds an additional challenge to the game<\/strong>. Without a pause function, you\u2019re never safe. While this challenge might be fine for short bathroom breaks, it can become very frustrating and stressful when you need to accept a pizza delivery or sort out your kids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The well-known modder, TechieW, created a mod<\/strong> to solve this issue. His <\/a>Pause The Game mod<\/a> does precisely that. It allows players to pause the game on PC by pressing \u2018P.\u2019 The mod is becoming quite popular and already has 2176 downloads in the last four days. However, there are a few considerations to be aware of before using this mod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For one, you can only use this mod offline<\/strong> – so you won\u2019t be able to use the mod and play with friends. The simple reason for this is that you can’t pause online games and content. Another consideration is that you\u2019ll have to disable the game\u2019s EasyAntiCheat feature. This could be risky as FromSoftware issues ban players that disable the anti-cheat feature. This is to ensure fair online play for all players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the mod is entirely safe to use<\/strong>, and if you accidentally left the EasyAntiCheat on, the game simply won\u2019t open with the mod installed. So if you\u2019re just casually playing the game and aren\u2019t too bothered by online playing and want a pause function, this mod is for you. At least the developers updated Elden Ring with patch 1.02.2<\/a> to help with the performance issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
