Game will not quit completely.

Robin_G · 06-27-2012, 07:27 PM

I'm not sure if this is a game issue or a general steam issue, but this is the only application it seems to happen to.

When I exit this game I return to the desktop but steam says I am still playing Penny Arcade Ep.3. I cannot launch any other games as I am told that PA Ep.3 is still running. I cannot even exit steam without forcibly terminating the process. Is this an issue for anyone else? Is there a solution?

This is odd. Are you using Q to quit and then Exit the game? Or exiting with alt-F4? Either way it shouldn't be getting "stuck" as a running process.

Yes I use Q to exit the game. It's not a huge issue and clearly it's not very common either. I'll try re installing and some other stuff to see if it goes away. Thanks for the response.

Yeah, I'm having this same problem. I quit normally - save my game, then quit through the menu that returns me to the title screen, and then press quit from there.
