Problems about exit

[BBP]

Everytime after I exit VCD, steam keeps saying that I'm still running Viscera Cleanup Detail. As a result, I can't start the game again because it says "app is already running". What's more terrible is that this problem even stops me from exiting steam, for it's telling me "waiting for Viscera Cleanup Detail to shut down" and "please close Viscera Cleanup Detail before exiting steam", but I'm sure I just closed it.

Then I opened Windows Taskmgr, but I didn't see any evidence that the game is running in the background. Now I can only shut down steam useing Taskmgr when this problem occurs. I'm really confused.

Somebody help

That's...really weird.

I'm not sure what the cause of this is. A number of games on Steam seem to have the same problem, but only for a few people. It may or may not be Steam related.

Your best bet is to end the process of "UDK.exe" in Windows Task manager, under "Processes".

Here is some info:

The process "UDK.exe" disappeared as soon as the game is closed, I don't think it's the cause.

However, I just found a way, by accident, to solve the problem.

I launched steam in offline mode, run VCD then closed it. Somehow it just exited normally. And, when I bring steam back online, the miracle happened, that problem doesn't appear any more!!! for now.

I'm still confused now but anyway I can normally play the game. I read all the information you gave me. It seems the problem is much more complicated than I thought.

After all, thanks a lot for your help. I love this game very much :D

seems like you had the steam cloud sync bug that wont let you exit steam or start vcd again until ya restart steam as when exit vcd it syncs to cloud and if the cloud is bugged it syncing forever stuck have to use taskmanager to kill steam
history repeats itself
if steam gets stuck on syncing again ill post how to fix it as same thing happened to me lots of times
so i found a way to reset my steam cloud saves for vcd then when i exit vcd it updates the cloud deleting my saves and it keeps my newest save fixing the steam sync bug
it also stops steam from automatically re downloading unwanted already deleted saves over n over again

[BBP]

That makes sense, I did wonder why the steam clould for VCD always shows 0b stored. I thought it was a consequence of abnormal shutting down, but actually it is the cause?

So, you mean next time to solve this problem, I should disable steam cloud for VCD, play the game, make some saves, then exit and enable cloud again, let my local saves reupload? Sounds like a reasonable solution, I'll try it when the problem shows again.

Thanks for the help, Mr Janitor.

no worries and if it happens again this is what i do and it fixes it
leave steam cloud enabled
start vcd let it sit in the main menu
alt tab out open saves folder while vcd is running
keep office save
keep trophydata.sav
keep trophycollectivedata.sav
keep those 3 saves so can keep office collection

delete all other saves
open backups folder in the saves folder
delete the saves in that folder
find the autosaves folder
delete all saves in that folder
open its backups folder and delete the saves in that
alt tab back into vcd go in options and set auto save to 0 to disable autosave
start any vanilla map and save it
exit vcd and it will sync new save to cloud deleting the files you deleted off the cloud
start vcd again start work list load save and there be 1 save to load
then can start vcd as many times as ya want or exit steam without it getting stuck
the good thing is it works fine with steam in online mode

so yeah stuck on 0 bytes steam cloud bug the above is 100% fix to reset steam cloud saves to unjam the cloudi think a recent steam update broke something as never used to have this problem before
its not a game bug its definately a steam bug

what causes it=internet dropouts while playing
playing in offline mode
saving an unreleased map that isnt on workshop
those are the 3 that often jam my cloud sync for vcd
fortunately its rare for steam cloud to get stuck esp if not using the level editor to make maps
probly gets stuck for me heaps since i make vcd maps for workshop
cloud gets stuck proply once every 3 months on my end

since i disabled autosave and only use manual saves my steam cloud seems to work fine until the next time i accidently save an unreleased map that im making lol

[BBP]

LOL that's complicated

This reminds me of the old time when I was playing pirate games, so much work to do before I was able to play them~

pretty easy to reset cloud saves
can also use the x next to saves ingame to delete them bur if ya got lots of saves the method above is faster and it allways works
vcd usually runs fine with the cloud sync enabled
not feel like doing the above
just tun off cloud sync on vcd's updates tab
if you turn cloud off if making a workshop map for vcd
when its time to upload map then the upload tool will fail over n over again creating a list of cloud files that dont exist as full file size=steam cloud full
fixing failed map uploads to workshop is complicated
fixing vcd is easy
steam cloud usually only gets stuck for workshop creators like me
just hope it not stuck anymore for you
if its fixed on your side then thats good it should work fine for you until steam stuffs up something else in a future steam update

also if you keep a backup of the 3 saves above every time ya get employee of the month backup those saves
if ya get fired paste the backup saves and overwrite the fired saves
then can keep office collection no matter how many times ya get fired
never get fired save game exploit
its great for multiplayer can let everyone trash your office
after exit server just swap saves to reset office to what it was before it got trashed
mp is fun when trash the office bring lots of tnt or a welder to friends office=lol

XD That's a nice trick. I usually do the host job, I believe this can stop my friends ruining my office.

By the way, would you kindly tell me how to deal with those cartridge cases? I'm tired of picking them up one by one

[A JANITOR]

bullets well its the fastest way=to pick them up 1 by 1:)
bullets go well in an empty bucket as sometimes they fall out of bins

[BBP]

All right, now I know how great is the invetion of vacuum cleaner LOL

Thanks again for your patience, you r a life saviour
