A character in Hardcore drowned. It’s a worthy death for a hero, but let’s not talk about it!😃 ![2025-04-30 23_34_40-Greenshot](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/wickedforum/original/2X/3/3a846f9e85da15f29976b711ca1ac41a2118171e.jpeg) But the problem was that at that moment everything stopped. That is, no notifications = I can’t exit the menu, no buttons work! Nature was tangible, but nothing worked. After I re-entered the game, the world remained for some reason, but I couldn’t enter it. Why did it remain? ![2025-04-30 23_37_25-Greenshot](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/wickedforum/original/2X/4/49f59b9d76efbbd4391b46ee094ac34f5080bb7b.jpeg) All that remains is to exit the world = delete it manually. After that, you can continue the game with the same character, and fortunately, their equipment will remain intact. I see a lot of posts in the past about a pause feature. It probably won’t work in co-op mode, but I would still like to see this feature in single-player mode. Although you can currently exit to the game menu, I think it would be good if pressing the TAB key paused the game, because if you are far from a save point and there are a lot of enemies around, pressing TAB at that moment means that your chances of dying increase with every second. Otherwise, it will be a pause with a stop at the same place what would be better.
