Best way to deactivate/activate player input.

I am having a problem where I am creating a pause screen and I want to deactivae all the player inputs at once, so the game events dont fire during the pause screen.

When i use PassivateInput, the game completely freezes,

If I disable then re-enable the playerInput component on resume game the player inputs come up with "ArgumentException: Invalid User"

IF this an issue with Preview.1 or am I doing something wrong.

 

What I did was just have a blockint_Input variable and made anything that was reading from my input controller not receive the data.

But that would imply that you have a separate class that handles your input and feeds it into your other classes.

 

Which I do thankfully, I have ended up doing the same. I find it strange the other ways fail me though.
