cant close game in windowed mode via alt-f4/x-button

Postby Exotic_Retard » 14 Jul 2015, 20:53

this is kinda a well known issue but very annoying nonetheless - i can no longer close the game by pressing the close button, i must go through the score screen, then click continue.

before the "close game?" dialog showed up now no response.

its pretty reproducible for me at least, and i know im not the only one with this issue.

hope this helps.

Leaving the game without going to score screen when being dead causes replays to desync so always use score button.

I believe this was done deliberately because of the above, not a bug.

It also means when the game fails to launch (because obviously the map distribution system is now also broken) you have to force close the FA.exe through taskmanager.

So basically we have a patch that promised to fix very little, and broke pretty much everything else. :roll:

I have the same problem. I'm leaving the game always via the score button but I can't close it then. I have to use the task manager each time...

Yes the score screen is missing a 'close' button somewhere, but you can always leave though 'exit to faf' instead of the score screen.

I think you can push ESC from the score screen to quit.
