Better Pause Menu 3

[Cyberdisc]

A simple mod that moves the buttons hidden under the Show More button to the main pause menu.

To install just extract the mod into your \AppData\Local\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VII\Mods folder.

Perfect thanks mate. I thought this would be fixed soon as it was a bizarre choice

Please re-add the Resume button (above quick save?). There still is some space in the menu and it's really frustrating sometimes not to have that button.

I hope you'll update this mod for game update 1.1.1, because the new pause menu is pretty ugly and unnecessarily wide.

 

[Cyberdisc]

Planning on it, not sure I'll have time until the weekend though.

 

[Finwickle]

No hurry, just good to know it will come at some point.

I came here to see the recent update busted the mod, because it would appear I'm now to a menu that won't let me leave a game without "retiring" and going through cut scenes as a "loss" to leave the game lol

Will this mod still have additional functionality over what is the "new" base pause menu from Firaxis? I can deal with it being crazy wide and ugly as Fin mentioned, since it's really only used to save or leave the game.

Ugly or not, the new 1.1.1 menu is not compatible with this mod currently so I was forced to disable it.

Cyberdisc updated Better Pause Menu with a new update entry:

Version 2 - Update 1.1.1 compatibility patch

Updated for game version 1.1.1:

• The buttons are in a single column again
• Bought the Resume button back for accessibility reasons
• Hid the Challenges button (simply didn't have enough room, can still access it through the progression menu)
• Restart button hidden after Antiquity (can't use it)

Pushed an update now, condensed the buttons back into a single column. Give it a try.

Some important buttons are missing in multiplayer

Can you send a screenshot? Thought they'd be working.

It feels so wide now. Also, I would love a "quick save and exit" button which just quick saves and exits. Thanks!

Am I misinterpreting this or does that only save you one click? Sounds like it was already pushing it to fit all the buttons that are there now lol!

• Restart button hidden after Antiquity (can't use it)

This is not 100% true (it's at least 99% true though). The restart button can be used in Exploration and Modern if that is the age you start in

Things can never be so simple can they, thanks for the heads-up. Thankfully looks like Player objects have an AdvancedStart boolean so I'll add a check for that.

I found a small bug I think. Whenever I am losing my internet connection then the buttons to exit the game or exit to the main menu also disappear. As long as I am connected to the internet everything is fine and the button are still there. So maybe you could check out why the buttons are disappearing when losing internet connection. Thanks in advance.
