Can't quit or selfdestruct?

TheFourteen · 03-03-2012, 09:19 PM

So just now I was in a session where I was in a fight against that... well, teleporting moon thing with a shield. Anyway it teleported away several times (as it always does), but didn't reappear this time. So I was just racing through space, with the occassional purple swirlies popping up and random acid trips driving me crazy. So after a while I decided that this bug's probably not gonna end and wanted to quit... but to my surprise pressing Escape only serves as a pause button. Only thing to do then is unpause and continue the game. Thankfully Alt+F4 quits the game, but that way I lost all collected starbits and score - plus it's not the most elegant solution.

Seriously: Every game needs an in-game quit option. This one's no exception, even if it's usually not that hard to die - sometimes you just have to quit right now.

There used to be a quit to desktop option, but early players didn't like it. I'll re-enable it in the next patch and look into that boss disappearing.

A "quit to menu" option would actually be better.

But thanks for looking into it.

Or a quit option that asks you to choose between quit to menu or quit to windows.
