How to EXIT the game?

:-( Alt + F4 :-(

If your using a 360 pad, press Y to bring up the menu, the select quit. I know it's odd.

You need to bring up your tools menu, mario291286. By default, you press B on Keyboard, Y on an Xbox controller, or triangle on a PS4 controller to bring this menu up.

"B" on keyboard. Yes, its amazing

For Gods sake!!! TY
Never had so many problems trying to exit a game before. WTF! lol

So B brings up a menu and then I have to hold the left mouse button on the "Quit Game" until the meter gets to the end. OMFG! really?

I have to say, this is a small thing but terribly done. I´ve tried to figure it out how to exit and in the end i had to do it by Windows Task Manager. Not good!

UI designed first and foremost for consoles never transfers to PC well without changes. Something as simple as changing your graphical options requires that you quit the game to desktop then start it up again, just to be able to pick "Options" from the initial menu screen. We'll just have to learn to live with it I suppose.

EDIT: I was incorrect, you can access the options from in-game without a restart simply by pressing F10 and browsing from there. I don't know how I must have missed this tooltip but somehow I did. My bad.

Can someone please explain to an old fart (= myself), why we need to hold buttons to perform an action, though?
I'm new to the game and stood in front of my first loot box ("live reward"? or whatever they're called in-game) like an idiot, because I somehow missed the message to hold Enter

Or you know you can press Escape/Start and go to the big button called "Quit Game"

It acts as a confirmation so you dont make a mistake. For example leave the game instead of changing a radio station or in your case opening a live reward by mistake with the wrong type of vehicle.

I had problems with this game when I was playing a free weekend back in November (northern hemisphere) 2018. I just could not figure out how to quit the darn game!

I also, still I guess, have this issue in the DiRT/DiRT Rally games. How do you just quit out of that game!?!?!?!

Whatever happened to the good ol' "are you sure? [yes|no]"?
I mean, I can see your point on the quit command - but for opening a loot box? Or for driving a car? What mistake can you possibly make? unless you happen to be a Top Gear host... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1bsh5Ne3yU

There isnt any confirmation needed to switch car unless im missing something.

For the live rewards its because you can approach a box with lets say a street racing car and switch to a drag car to get the drag parts. Without the confirmation you could press A by accident and waste the part on a car you don't need them on.

I can see your point with the good old " Are you sure " system but it would make a lot of thing way more tedious than holding the button for 1-2 seconds. Each time you'd want to open a live reward you'd have to press A then left/right then A again to confirm a simple action, in the end it would be longer and way more annoying. Same thing with the exit game, a separate menu would have to pop up and make the whole point of the fast "quit game" button useless. If you press start and quit via that menu you dont have to hold anything it quits instantly.

The dumbest thing is that you have to hold the button to get the contract CC. I have no clue what you could do wrong with just pressing once. There are no choices, after all.

That one i agree lol. Its not like there's any downside to claiming your CC.
