steam unable to stop the game

[Krauth]

Hello, anyone has encountered a problem when you quit the game and it closes steam still shows it as "running" and when you click "stop" then steam just stucks at "stopping" without any abillity to finish its task?

[BUSTER]

yep, have this issue as well

[NachoConcern]

yes

[eoozy]

Go to task manager and "end process" for the PS application or whatever it is, should be at the top of the list.

the game is closed via task manager. only solution is force closing steam through task manager.

The game wouldn't even start until I disabled steam overlay. I am forced to conclude this is a steam issue.

Hold down Ctrl + Alt + Delete on your keyboard, click Task Manager, look for Ghost of Tsushime executable file, right-click and click End Task to completely shutdown the game program.

I'm guessing it has something to do with linking to your PSN account, as I have had zero issues playing this game and have absolutely zero interest in ever playing the multiplayer part, and so I will never link it.

The task does not exist in task manager as the game closes normally. Steam however, says that it is "stopping" the task.
The only solution is force restarting steam.

I bought this game and played for two hours yesterday and today I opened it and it shows it's been running 20 hours straight. Why would this bug be allowed to exist? That's unacceptable!

I have the same issue. The only way to get around it until they decide if ever to fix it:
Open Task Manager, click on Details, search for Playstation, end the tasks ( I think there are three).

Same bug for me. I can force close the game through Steam and it terminates the 3 PSPC SDK files running in task manager. Annoying, but at least it does close when I do this.

[vram1974]

I got a reply from Nixxes support:

The game not closing is related to the PlayStation PC SDK in combination with Windows 11 24H2.
The game does close, however some PSPC SDK processes keep running in the background. The SDK team is working on an update to resolve this. Apologies for the inconvenience.
We will forward your feedback to the team.

That's great that they're working on a fix for this. Thought it had something to do with 24H2. Absolute ♥♥♥♥♥ of an update, that one.

Thanks for posting here vram1974
