Platform: Steam Issue Type: Gameplay Game Mode: Single Player Server Type: PvE Map: Exiled Lands Server Name: None Mods: 3038907358,2275543723 Bug Description: The game does not stop running when I press quit; Steam shows it as running, and it simply won’t stop, I have to hit the STOP button…

Yeah, I can confidently say it has gotten worse after much testing. Most of the time I need to press stop in Steam, in the past it would close itself after some minutes. Now it seems to very often stay forever if you don’t stop or kill it.

[image] DanQuixote: Yep. Running without the launcher closes normally for me (as noted above) - same result cyc also found. (Also takes a long time on my machine for the ‘Stop’ button to return to being a ‘Play’ button - but it’s always been like that for me.) So far, no one has confirmed that t…

From what you are saying we can rule out that steam is the issue, and seems to have happened in the past with players, which at least indicates it is not our side of the game with regards to hardware and connections.

For some reason, after moving my Gportal server or updating Cookies Immersive Armours yesterday, the exe shut down again. Now i have the same issue again. Its a miracle.

It’s :face_vomiting: , always always always always, I don’t know if I’ve already mentioned it, but the game never closes.

Never had this problem up untill a few weeks ago. Tried bypassing that *** funcom launcher by changing the game starting directly from the ConanSandbox.exe in the steam settings, but the problem still persists: it takes quite some time for the exe to actually stop running, resulting in a continuous …

Never had this issue. Sometimes it runs on for a minute, 2 tops, but I’ve never had to force close Conan; unless it locked up/crashed. But then I play on a brick, antique gtx1060 6gig.
