DO NOT USE with Multiplayer Games, as doing so may lead to getting kicked off a server or banned. This product is intended only for Single Player experiences.
ALWAYS test games with a new save file first to ensure the game handles pausing without issues. Alternatively backup your save files beforehand to avoid any risk of save file corruption.
