BACK UP YOUR SAVES JUST IN CASE

Features:

• []Open source.

  []Lightweight.

  []Customizable hotkeys.

  []Saves system resources when the game is paused.

  []Configurable automatic startup with the game.

  []Closes automatically if the game isn't running.

  You can read the source code of all files using a text editor (except MHWPause.exe, which is compiled).

  • []MHWPause.exe (EXE version)

    A compiled, ready-to-run version that doesn’t require installation. Some anti-viruses flag it as a false positive due to how AutoHotKey EXEs are detected. It's safe as long as it's downloaded from here.[]MHWPause.ahk (AHK version)

    An uncompiled version that isn’t flagged by anti-virus programs. Requires AutoHotKey v2. 0 to run. Feel free to modify the code and share suggestions.[]MHWPauseConfig.ini

    This file stores the program settings, with explanations for each setting inside.[]MHWPauseRun.bat

    A simple batch script used to launch the game with the program. Required for automatic startup.

  Requirements:

  • []Windows 8. 1 or higher.

    Installation:

    • []Extract MHWPause.bat and MHWPauseConfig.ini to the same directory as the game executable.

      [](Optional) Also extract MHWPauseRun if you want the automatic startup.

      How to configure the automatic startup:

      This method was tested on Windows 10 using Steam but should work with other launchers that support running files alongside the game:

      • []Complete step 2 of the installation.

        []In Steam, go to the Monster Hunter World game properties.

        []Under the general tab, find the field Launch options and enter:

        MHWPauseRun.bat %command%

        It should look like this.

        []Now the program will run alongside the game when launched via Steam.

        Usage instructions:

        []Start Monster Hunter World and Run "MHWPause" (if the automatic startup isn't configured).

        []The program will notify you if PsSuspend is missing. Accept the prompt to download it automatically, or manually download it here (look for "pssuspend.exe").

        []Wait for PsSuspend to download. The program will notify you when it’s done.

        [*]Press the hotkey (Ctrl + P by default) to pause the game (you may need to accept PsSuspend’s Terms an
