Description

Games without built-in pause can be frozen through external process and window-control helpers. Universal Pause is for Linux players who need to pause cutscenes or games that normally keep running.

Use it with games you are willing to interrupt. Freezing processes can break networking, anti-cheat checks, audio, saves, timers, or window focus in unpredictable ways.
