Stop rendering when paused

[Teilnehmer]

When I pause the game, the scene frames are still rendered for no(?) reason causing the same CPU load as while playing.

Is there a way (setting or mod) to make the game stop the rendering when paused (show a still image) to reduce the CPU load?

I read about a mod that slows the frame rates drastically when the game is not focused, which should achieve what you want. I don't recall the name, but I saw it a few days ago in the mods sub-forum.

Oh, thanks! I’ve found it.
