Is there a faster way to quit the game?!

[Inv1s1ble]

Do I really have to go to menu, go to last item in the menu, go to last tab in the systems menu, click exit button, see the annoying splash screens again, enter the main menu, go to the last option and finally click EXIT.

Feels insanley bad designed. Unless I'm missing something - new player here.

Is there no faster way?!?

Alt+F4
EDIT: seriously though, this is one of those "ported from console" issues. Always has been.

Don't forget the game doesn't actually end right away, it has to wait a good 5 minutes or so for easy anti-cheat to also close before you can play any other games in your steam library.

alt-f4. quickest way I know of

[the Witch-King of Angmar]

Alt+Tab open task manager kill the elden ring.exe process, unironically faster.

[Rastrelly]

Yup, Alt+F4 from title screen

[♔V3RD1CT]

Alternatively/ just close from task manager if on pc.
Same risks.
Believe Alt 4 enough will = timeout temp ban? Can't confirm.

Task=May lead to same. Also could corrupt saves, and mess with cloud sync.

[Edit:] Both options will shut it down the way we ALL want.

Agreed.
I'm tired of this too.

It should have a button to close the game instead of going to the menu.

Absolutely agree with the OP! Having to go back through the main menu after quitting just to exit the game is just purse s*** game design! There is absolutely no reason to have this like it is.

[Giesmode]

imagine being so impatient u cant wait 10 secs xD haha take a chill pill.

[Vagrant]

What I do is quit to main menu and the second I see Namco Bandai's splash screen, I alt-f4.

[Morton Koopa Jr.]

This IS poorly designed. But let's all calm down a bit lol.

Dont alt F4 it can corrupt your save so close it down correctly it has got better closing now

[DeuceBane]

do not alt+f4 from within the game. Only from the menu. youll corrupt your saves my guy.

Wonder if bamco screen is the way to go?

[Vagrant]

When you quit to main menu, the game saves. Why would your game save while you're not playing?

I've been doing this since the game released, still no save corruption...
