Virtual police chiefs,
It is time to stop the time! ːsteamhappyː

After the localization and intensive testing, we are happy to announce that the new “Pause feature” is now available in Police Tactics: IMPERIO!!!

You can now select the pause feature in the options menu (when you already started a campaign) and when you start a new game.
In the options menu you can find the feature as a check box named “Manual pause enabled” under the category “General”. When starting a new game you can find the option right under the difficulty level.

When the check box is/was ticked, there will be a pause button in the game in the upper left corner right next to the forward button.

The game will now go into pause mode automatically when a story mission window or a tutorial message pops up. This will also affect the camera flights after unlocking a district.

When the tutorial is closed or some kind of interaction is required from the player then the game will continue as normal and the automatic pause will be deactivated. When the pause button is active it should be clearly visible on screen as “Game Paused” in big letters in the top left corner of the screen.

You can also set up patrols and manage units while the pause function is active: rank up, create groups, set up patrols and give orders to units, which will be followed when the pause button is deactivated again (player presses button again). It will also be possible to set up queues of actions (e.g. interrogations) while being in pause mode with holding the shift key.

Best regards and thanks for your patience!
