What can I do to not have the physics update? Simply I want to be able to pause the physics and then resume them later. My guess is to replace sync() with something. Anyone who can help me?

I think you can do StepPhysics(0)... Haven't tried it, just remember seeing it posted somewhere... Also, I'm not sure this works for particles...

I do use StepPhysics(0.0) to pause and then reset to the rate I want (1.0/60.0 for a frame rate of 60).

It works well in Tier 1 (I haven't tested in Tier 2, yet).

I seem to recall that it did not affect particles (which wasn't important in my game).

You can use (according to documentation) SetParticlesActive(id,active). Set active to 0 to pause and 1 to restart.

Cheers,
