Time.timeScale is set to 1 when game backs from background.

I have strange behavior. When I show pause view I set Time.timeScale to zero. All gameplay logic stops after that and pause view UI is visible. This is as expected. But when I “push game to background” (click home button on Android device) and open game back someone (it is not my code, I checked many times) sets Time.timeScale to 1. Pause view UI still visible but gameplay is not pausing.

Is it correct behavior?

I tried to use following workaround:

private float _goBackgroundTimeScale = 1f;
public void OnApplicationPause(bool isPause)
{
     Debug.Log("OnApplicationPause. isPause: " + isPause + ", timeScale: " + Time.timeScale + ", gobgtimescale: " + _goBackgroundTimeScale);
	if(isPause)
		_goBackgroundTimeScale = Time.timeScale;
	else
		Time.timeScale = _goBackgroundTimeScale;
}

But it doesn’t help. Time.timeScale set to 1 after OnApplicationPause function call.

I checked Time.timeScale in Update. It writes 0 when game is paused and writes 1 when game back from background work.

public override void Update()
{    
     Debug.Log("timescale: " + Time.timeScale);
}

How can I solve this issue? Thanks!

Hey,
It is too late to answer this issue. Incase, you can set the Time.timeScale = 0 in OnApplicationFocus(), if the focusStatus is true. This will solve your problem.
