Is the 「て」 missing from 「され」 in this sentence?

Question

Here is the sentence.

ソフトのプレイ中にHOMEボタンを押すと、ソフトが中断されHOMEメニューが表示されます。

I think 「て」 should follow the verb 「中断され」 to create conjunctive/continuative form.

Answer 1

No, it's not. This れ is the pre-masu-form (stem) of れる, and it doesn't require て after it.

• なく vs. なくて and stem form vs. てform as conjunctions
• Connecting phrases with the stem of masu-form
• Stem of ます-form as conjuction
• て versus combining-form for joining clauses

In your example, you can insert て after 中断され without changing the meaning of the sentence. But since this is from a formal documentation, doing so may make the sentence look a little less sophisticated.
