We need a "confirm escape" option for single player.
Simply put, it's far too easily to accidentally exit a mission early when playing solo. In multiplayer it's fine, as the game waits for everyone to get to the escape point. However when you're trying runs on your own, the second you hit the escape point around the van, the mission stops.

This can be a serious problem depending on just where the van's parked. Especially when under heavy fire and you're trying to lug the bags out. You basically have to try and make sure you don't accidentally step foot in the escape zone.

There's times when the van is parked in such a way that you basically have to run around it to get to the back, trying to squeeze past the escape zone. This can seriously ruin a run.

How about a simply "Hit <key> to escape" option when playing solo (while you're in the escape area), so that we have to choose to actually leave the heist instead of it automatically happening?

Can we make this a thing? There's been times I've missed throwing a bag in the van and wasn't able to reach it without stepping in the escape. Needless to say, I've missed out on bags because of this.

Yeah, I've had that situation.

There's also those times when the van is parked so that the escape point actually blocks access to the back of the van unless you basically squeeze along a wall.

It could simple be the F key, as with other actions. Stand in the escape zone and hit F to escape (unless you're looking at something like a bag, which would take priority).

+1

I solo stealthed a DW bomb: docks earlier and was going to set it to pub to give some people some free win (no rep limit), but accidentally escaped instantly after throwing the last bag. Sucks for who would have gotten it and sucks for me because the xp/$$$ was CRAP for being alone.

Yeah, it's a shame how little you make playing solo.
At least it's good practice for running the maps and getting the layouts down.

This reminds of the time I've stealthed Framing Frame day 1 solo back in 2013, traded all the pictures and stepped into the escape zone before throwing the money bags in the van - decided to look around for a sewer exit, silly me. Have my +1 if it helps.

A 3 to 5 second timer would be great. Just enough to not make accidentally touching the escape zone end the heist.

Just did the Dockyard heist solo stealth and I put the bomb parts in first. Before I knew what was up, the escape point appeared beneath my feet and the heist was ended. This kinda ticks me off considering I had 2 bags of gold and a bag of coke secured that I didnt get to throw in because the escape appeared beneath my feet. And since it was on deathwish, that means I missed out on around a mil. Please let this be in an upcoming update.
