Disable the alt+F4 shortcut for this program next patch.
There is no legitimate reason to ever use this key combo while playing this game. Making it non functional is a no brainer and only cowards who disconnect when the tides turn against them will argue otherwise.

If it legitimately locked up you can use Task Manager to force exit. Otherwise, take the loss, pick up your souls, and stop being bad.

If there's no bonus side to using it, there's reason to NOT using it. Unless you're mad when people leave on you, then it sounds like you're the butthurt one.

It should at least count as a default victory for the invader.

Excuse me, I like to alt-F4 when Im done playing. I go through the ingame menu and hit quit, then I alt f4 so i dont have to skip through multiple logos just to quit from the main menu.

The system isn't magic. I doubt it knows who did the alt f4ing.

It knows if the host D/Cd and that should be counted as a win.

I haven't been Alt+F4'ing. But yea, having to go through all those damn logos is starting to get on my nerve. I'd see myself start Alt+F4'ing in the near future.

I paid for the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game, and I don't give two ♥♥♥♥♥ about who made them. Let me skip those logos ffs.

To everyone saying they like to Alt+F4 to just exit the game that is fine, my problem is that people abuse it to avoid invaders, especially if they are losing a fight. Which is fixed by my above solution: When a host D/Cs the invader gets whatever item or souls they would have gotten had they won.

ctrl alt delete brings up system menu which lets you launch task manager and task manager forces itself to the foreground so you should be able to end the program even if fullscreened.

wish they had windowed fullscreen as an option though.

the problem is determining the cause of disconnect

although it shouldn't be hard to say have some code to check how the game was exited and to treat it as victory if it was an alt+F4

I only hit Alt+F4 once when i was invaded. We spent literally 15 minutes rolling around not hitting each other. It was all so boring, what a waste of my time.

So you want game companys to run code their games to not allow windows to close them from running? Aside from ethical concerns I have with this. This sounds like a silly thing to attempt.

Honestly I do not care what the cause of the D/C is, I am not saying to punish the people who leave but just to not waste the Invaders time because someone has an unreliable internet connection or just cheated to get away.

You have no right to complain if you invade.
You do have the right to complain if the host does some stupid crap if he summons you
