How to exit the game?

[Station3303]

Silly, I know, but even Google would not tell me how to quit the game. I just started, played about half an hour. The only way to quit that I found was Alt-F4. But now, when starting the game again, it starts from scratch, progress not saved.
So how does it work?

Esc > Quit Game.

?

Also progress not saved? What is this an offline game?

I guess you didn't finish the tutorial

Pretty sure you have to finish the entire opening mission before you're allowed to quit.

^^this^^
should be obvious to anyone playing any game at all that does NOT have a manual save option.

omg. Playing the tutorial, I obviously know nothing. How would I know I need to finish the tutorial? How much time does it take? I unfortunately mostly have little stretches of time to play. So if I have to finish the tutorial before I can save/quit, I'd need to know how much time to set aside for it ...
Thank you all for the quick replies.

@Fragball I have played PC games for >30 years. None ever had no manual save option. Or mybe I never noticed, because the tutorials have all been too short to notice. So not that obvious really.

you can probably exit just fine when you get to your orbitor but i wouldnt know cause i set aside a good amount of time to start the game

also manual save is pretty rare in most mmorpgs (if there even is any)

[Station3303]

Right, no manual save there, but usually continues where you left. I finished it now and have been awarded a Quit button.

Uuuum... This is NOT a single player game with saves...
If you leave a mission you just fail it... And start a new one...

None? I don't think that's possible. Games with levels (Not open world) usually don't have manual saves (at least not within the level). Also, no MMO will ever have a manual save option. And Warframe is a combination of the two, so...

This is multiplayer lol.

what the hell?

I'd say that *most*, or at least half the games I've played in the last 5-10 years don't have a manual save.

and I'd say its pretty normal for your intro sequence/tutorial to not be interruptable like that. and its hardly ever a problem, because you normally only do it once, and you don't normally start a new game like that when you will have to quit in 10 minutes....
