Game pause on loss of focus

Like the topic says, for the love of god, pause the game when the application loses focus. Tabbing away to respond to something without drowning needs to be an option.

    Good idea, but right now get yourself into the menu before alt+tabbing :D

    And, while you're at it, make sure that if the game's in the process of loading, that it continues to do so, before pausing (used to be, alt-tab while loading = pause loading until alt-tab back)

    That annoys me so much (before SSD 25sec cold startup). Windowed mode also does that. A game which stops loading the world when not in focus, I'll tell you what... This is the first game I've seen doing that, one of very few that indeed do this :D
