Hy,

I have noticed this issue when my friend and I play. He joins the server and it auto-unpauses. When he leaves it auto-pauses.

+1.

I'd guess this is a feature aimed at making running a multiplayer server easier but being able to toggle it would be nice. The way I scale my multiplayer missions means I have to ride my pause key until everyone is in the pit :lol:

Under the ..\saved games\dcs\config folder is a file: serverSettings.lua

 

Open this file (preferably with the free utility Notepad ++) and look at the following settings -

 

    ["advanced"] = 
   {
       ["event_Role"] = true,
       ["allow_object_export"] = false,
       ["pause_on_load"] = true,
       ["event_Connect"] = true,
       ["event_Ejecting"] = true,
       ["event_Kill"] = true,
       ["event_Takeoff"] = true,
       ["pause_without_clients"] = true,
       ["client_outbound_limit"] = 0,
       ["client_inbound_limit"] = 0,
       ["event_Crash"] = true,

 

Particularly the Pause on load and pause without clients, make sure they are set as you want them to be. Valid values are either true or false.

 

Editing .lua files with either wordpad or standard notepad is usually a bad idea. Notepad ++ is the safest bet.

 

These settings are usually set from within the UI, but one reason or another may not set correctly. This is the most direct way of verifying what the server is set to do.

 

Good luck

You can also set this in the advanced settings when you create a new multiplayer session (Manual Pause, unpause without clients, and unpause on load) along with a couple of other settings. No need to edit the lua.
