Are you quitting from the menu? Or are you doing Alt F4 or Right clicking > close? Not sure what the case is but typically some games if I don't quit the correct way vs Alt F4 or right click > close the process stays till I end it manually.

it happens with both ways of closing the game, alt-f4'ing and quitting from the menu

I have the same issue, i guess there is no fix besides ending the process manually everytime via task manager. Its pretty bs

Well you could make a batch file if it really bugs you, I've had to use it as a fix for some old games to kill explorer then resume explorer after I exited a game. Heres how to do it if you're using windows.

@echo off
isaac-ng.exe
pause
taskkill /f /im isaac-ng.exe
exit

To make a batch file just open notepad, write the commands in seperate lines and save it as a .bat or you could save it as a text and rename it as a .bat and put it in the game directory then make a shortcut of it to the desktop. Don't know why I didn't think of this when I first replied to the OP but I havent had to use it in awhile and it kind of slipped my mind.

You'll see a cmd prompt open up before playing but once you exit the game and hit any key when prompted it should end the process.

word wrap +1, your post -1.

he could use notepad++ if he doesn't want to destroy the formatting though.

Don't quite get your issue with the post, it works as intended.

As I said, working as intended. You must be something special to screw up something as simple as a batch file though.

word wrap is enabled by default? that's literally all it takes, man you are quite a mong with your little assumption, just cause you got lucky doesn't mean it's typical of the norm, batch files can and are a huge pain in the ass when they want to be and they do care about formatting from what i've seen to a partial degree.

Never had it on so still don't see the point of your text unless you were the unlucky one.

if you would be bothered to read it's enabled by default, so yeah, you're lying to yourself, maybe, but i don't believe you.

It may be enabled by default but it's off and it clearly works. It's possible I've always had it on in the past whenever I made a batch file but for whatever reason I turned it off it clearly works fine.

You want to know the secret? It's called hitting return for the next line, boom magic!
