WHY is there no quit/abandon race button??

[Sethioz]

EDIT: there actually IS retry / abandon feature, but it's so well hidden. common sense told me to look for it in the menu, but it's hidden inside the "tool" .. whatever the eff it even means. i didn't have it mapped as it was useless to me. only way to know that you can retry / abandon races via that tool, is to open it during a race, but what kind of a moron would open some tool in middle of race??? makes 0 sense, that's why i didn't find it.

Where common sense fails, no sense will win.

anyone else feels the anger that comes from the fact that there's no way to quit a race?
i forgot to change difficulty on endurance race that takes about 10 mins and there's NO WAY to frikking quit/abandon the race! this is so infuriating!
JUST WHY? i got so annoyed that i hit alt+f4, i'm not going to waste 10 mins on a race that i already did, specially if it's not even ace so you don't get good loot.

what is going thru devs head when they are making those decisions? it's a GAME not real life, just add a frikking abandon button!
if they want realism, then how about starting with realistic damage where cars dont clean and repair themselves on their own?
if you make arcade game like crew 2, then give us option to abandon race.

Yep i rarely get tilted but when i saw that in one race i actually just closed the game lol even though i love it. But the no "Quit / Abandon race" button is kinda must lul

Just press B (keyboard) during the race, there you have the option to abandon race

i would understand no quit / abandon in co-op, cuz it's annoying when your teammates just quit on you, but if you play vs bots .. WHO CARES?! let me out of the race ffs!
btw stop saying lul .. it means penis in dutch (look it up on translate if you don't believe me)

who plays racing with keyboard? and it does nothing anyways, i have some binds on keyboard as they don't fit on controller, but b does nothing at all.

... the button is always there even for controller, plus keyboard gaming is peak and many people do play TC2 on keyboard. whatever button you used to open the radio menu, use it. Then read.

You can press triangle or the y button on controller to open the menu during a race which lets you restart or abandon it. It took me a while to figure that out too.

if you're using an xbox controller just press Y and a menu appears on the right where you can either retry or abort the race/ challenge/ whatever you are participating in.

on keyboard, press B. it opens a mini-menu to restart race, radio etc. there is the option to quit the game "the proper way". Lazy PC port by ubisoft and ivory tower, who ever was responsible to make PC keyboard layout....

It's more like lazy design. That mini-menu is leftovers from The Crew 1, where it was of significantly more importance. You could switch cars using it, repair your current car, open current missions list, mark the next mission using your GPS, etc.

haha ... common sense failed me this time, cuz common sense tells me to look for retry / quit / abandon in a MENU where there are other buttons, like quit game.

i didn't even have this nonsense mapped, cuz it has no importance. i don't use radio. if i want to listen to music while playing, i have winamp open on background 24/7. winamp 2013 version is all you ever need for music, it's super light weight and takes less than 10mb ram while running and i have it all mapped to hotkeys so i can easily play/pause next/prev ..etc. it also supports real internet radios (aka shoutcast).

having retry / abandon in that tool makes as much sense as sorting phone book by how much each person weights, instead of using alphabetical order.

exactly. it was quite cool in crew 1.

i have noticed lot of other lazy things aswell, like car tuning. it took me a minute to realize what certain things even mean, there's NO descriptions and they use partial names.
