I saved a skirmish game in Age of Empires III but when I load it, the game just refuses to resume!! I just can't make the "Games Paused" thing go away!! Nothing happens....i tried pressing every key on the keyboard but I can't make the game resume after loading. I remember that the same thing happened when I was playing campaign but I was able to resume the paused game by pressing the "Objectives" tab. But there isn't any "Objecives" tab in skirmish mode!! What should I do??

try pressing the pause/break key, located on your keyboard above the arrow keypad, the rightmost key :lol:

the use of the pause/break key to pause/unpause games has been around since the first games came out, and its use is there even in AoK, it's only very recently that game developers have been assigning other keys to pause games.

ya pause/break key works & the paused game resumes.
