Outdoors is an always online game that you can play completely solo. Normally, you can not interrupt it, not even alone. But a smart computer gamer has found a way to interrupt the game with their Nivida GPU.
As Dark souls and The division, when you play Outdoors, even alone, you can not interrupt the game. The only way you can stop playing and have a drink is to find a corner in a quiet part of the map and hide your character. Or wait until the servers fail. But if you have a Nivida GPU, there is a way to interrupt the game while playing solo. This method was shared by Reddit users Aced-Bread.
It’s pretty simple: Outdoors support Nivida’s Ansel features, so you can pause the action and move the camera around to get cool screenshots. So if you have to stop on a computer and have the right GPU, just press Alt + F2 and blow, you have interrupted the game.
Here is a short video showing this method.
It only works if you play solo. If you have other players in your game, Ansel will still activate, but the action will not stop.

This neat solution makes me wonder if a proper, legal interrupt function can be implemented in the main game. This allows people on the console and those who do not use Nivida GPUs to stop and interrupt a bathroom in the middle of a fight.
