[Bug] Return to main menu

[=M$= Oroberus]

[This thread and it's first post was significantly changed due to the being a bug, instead of an oversight of mine]

Using the 'Exit' button in the settings does not take me back to the main menu but indeed causes a CTD

[bobh18]

press ESC button

You are trolling, aren't you?

Pressing escape will lead into the general menu of the ongoing save file, not giving the option to return to the main menu (start up menu, splash screen).

i havent tried fs22 yet but in fs19 it says exit game and when you press it you will get in the main menu

Same button will just close FS22

You can find it : ESC > Game Settings ... and or ESC > General Settings - the 'Save' and 'Quit' can be found there at the bottom left area - this 'Quit' will take you back to the main menu

Nope, this indeed closes the game, as said several times already (although I wasn't that clear which 'Exit' button I ment earlier)

For me 'Quit' takes me back to the main menu, it sounds like maybe your game is crashing to desktop upon leaving a game.

Yeah figured as much by now, funny and quite strange indeed, guess I'll re-name the thread then :D

Had the same issue. Press Esc, then Space to save game, then Quit and after brief "Loading" window splash screen, exits to Windows desktop. This is on Elm Creek map. The culprit so far for me has turned out to be installing and check marking the "PlayerActionCamera" mod from the InGame Downloadable Content. With this mod check marked and loaded into game, when select Quit it exits to Windows Desktop. Not using this mod in game, then select Quit and returns to game Main Menu. Hope this helps...did for me...after deleting and restarting Elm Creek a couple of times....

Interestingly enough, another mod from the official modhub does this as well. Collect Straw at Missions causes a CTD when exiting. These are QA tested, so in order to pass, they must not have crashed the game on the testers machine.

It seems to be any non-GIANT made mod for me. My game crashes afgter getting the prompt to restart the game after installing a mod. The mod gets installed successfully and is usable within game but when I quit it will CTD as well.


Uninstalling the mod works fine and the game reboots as its suppose to after leaving the mods menu. The game exits properly as well...pretty displeased with FS22 so far. There's alot of stuff removed from FS19, and only a few small enhancements.

Perhaps it has something to do with where our games are located on our drives and/or type of storage device being used?


[Stuff Below unrelated and me just griping.]
Not to mention half of the farm yards being completely unusable because permanent structure you cant delete exist and arent interactable

I have had similar problem recently, where I had quit a map, only to go to the desktop instead of the main menu. I went through each mod released through the in-game modhub and found nothing that caused it. However, I did download some mods from a 3rd party source and found the source: the strongman mod. It's a good idea to start a new game file and go through the mods to see which one caused it to do that. Personally, I think players should avoid using mods not released through the game. I hope this info helps. Happy Virtual Farming to One and All!!

I posted on reddit, and sent in a bug report. After extensive testing its not "technically" related to mods. Giants uses a 'soft restart' script when exiting the mod menu and exiting from in-game. There is an error related to mouse inputs when clicking to restart/exit to main menu. If you use only keyboard inputs or controller it doesnt happen.

It doesnt matter which mod or how many mods you have. If you have any user created mod in your modlist, the 'soft restart' script fails due to a mouse input error.

If anyone is interested here is my reddit post from discovering the bug to diagnosing it along with a fresh error log proving the issue:

I did wonder if this was intentional as I noticed its happening to me. and has done from day 1. but then most if the time when I click exit, I want to exit the game anyway so it works in my favour.
