When I Shut Down RFactor 2, Steam Says It's Still Running

Yeah, it's not really meant to fix things itself, but sometimes having extra code active and doing things can change behaviour. It may be somewhat of a clue to where to look for the devs, or it may not help at all!

 

I have the same problem with rfactor2 on Steam that won't close. Attached image link in imgur. If I point to these two squares and hit finish then it does close rFactor on Steam but I don't know what to do so I don't have to open the task manager every time to close it.

 

Just post in 1 thread.

 

i resolved it previously( long ago ) by removing the logi profiler , however in the latest build the problem has persisted again

all my steam friends are in rf2 - it leaves you on your friends lists as still in game
clicking 'stop' in steam ends it , occasionally it stops on its own - but mostly not
i have to think its a game breaker if your game wont close - it kind of a key part of making games - you want them to open sure - but users have to be able to close it too

 

1 - open any text editor
2 - paste this code:
taskkill /F /IM rfactor2* /T
3 - save as (all types) name it something like killRF2.bat (.bat is mandatory) in somplace easy to find after an ALT-TAB
4 - thanks me later

I use it for my dedicated server (yes also the dedicated server won't close) but I think it should work also for RF2

ps: Be aware, this batch close EVERYTING named "rfactor2somethingelse.anything". So if you have a dedicated server on your PC it will close also the server.
If you have multiple servers it will close all the servers.

 

The trick with this one is to restart the weekend before closing the server.

 

Yes, but double click on the batch is faster..
