Exit to menu would be nice

[Sk8ter Boi]

also why is the regular exit just a crash

[walters.gizmo]

Please, an exit to the menu would be lovly

It has crashed on exit for some people for a couple years now.
and a back to menu option most likely will not happen until thee Devs can get the game to fully unload the data when doing so. as right now if you start a new game within the game you can find your bought building and any outposts you made teleported into the new game.

Yeah I agree with OP. But if that is an engine limitation, then oh well.

[nDervish]

I strongly suspect both of your requests boil down to the same issue: The software has "issues" with unloading the existing game's data. It crashes on exit because it's not able to clean up after itself properly and, if it can't clean up properly, then exit-to-menu would just be inviting bugs and general misbehavior when you try to load a save or start a new game on top of the mess left over from the previous game.

Does the non-Steam version or the Demo version also exhibit this behavior? (Hang/crash on Exit)

Mine doesnt crash game simply wont exit. I usually just tab out and task manage it. Oddly enough i didnt have that problem at first. Maybe mods.

I've only just started playing a few days ago and haven't used any mods.

The game exits, even in your example. It just doesn't dump itself out of memory and "hangs there." ie: Hang The only way to get it to release is to stop the process, which effectively dumps everything.

It's annoying, but not game-breakingly so.
