No Pause

Keeps Forza Horizon 2 (Xbox One build on PC via the Azimuth launcher) running when its window loses focus, so you can alt-tab, click another monitor or use a second window without the game pausing. Built on the FH2 Mod Platform.

How it worksThe game could be checking focus in more than one way, so the mod covers both:

- It subclasses the game window and swallows the "you lost focus" messages (WM_ACTIVATEAPP, WM_ACTIVATE, WM_KILLFOCUS).- It hooks GetForegroundWindow, GetActiveWindow and GetFocus so they answer with the game window while the setting is on.

Azimuth reads the controller through Windows.Gaming.Input, which stops delivering input to a window that isn't in the foreground. So the mod also hooks IGamepad::GetCurrentReading and, while the game is unfocused, fills the reading from XInput (which isn't gated). It installs once a controller is connected.

A background thread re-checks every 1.5 seconds for the game window (the largest visible top-level window of the process), so it keeps working through loading screens and mode switches.

InstallationRequires the FH2 Mod Platform (DWrite.dll in your Azimuth folder), which most FH2 mods already install.

1. Download FH2NoPause-<version>.zip from the Releases page and unzip it.2. Close the game. Copy the zip's azimuth-windows\ folder into your Azimuth folder (the one with azimuth.exe) and say yes to merging.3. Start the game through Azimuth. fh2-mods\platform.log should show loaded FH2NoPause.dll and NoPause ready (on).

UninstallingClose the game and delete fh2-mods\FH2NoPause.dll (and fh2-mods\FH2NoPause.ini if present) from your Azimuth folder. To switch it off without uninstalling, turn the setting off as described above.
