I wonder why it takes so long to quit a game. I have a Ryzen 1700X, 16GB RAM and a M.2 disc capable of reading 3000MB/s and still the game need to have around 30s to quit a server… This is annoying only because we need to quit a game to manage assignments and these 30s “extra” makes almost impossible to re-join the same server before the next round has started and the server is full. ---

It’s not only you buddy. This game is full of bugs, annoying things and not to mention the cheating issue; and still we have no words from someone at EA/DICE… ---

Same problem here, maps load quickly but quiting a match takes ages. Luckily i found out that pressing / mashing ESC will put you back to the main menu much faster, then just waiting it out. Try it out and let me know 🙂 it worked for me. ---

First exit the game screen normally so housekeeping is done, then Alt+F4 to go to desk top. It’s still much faster the BF1 ---

My only reasoning that it takes that long to exit the game is that all of the stuff held in memory has to be released and if there’s a significant amount of data held there then it could take quite a while to dump all of the files in memory. #JustAGuess. ---

Yup, this has worked for me for a while now. Much faster than Alt F4 method ppl I know were doing. ---

I must test the esc mashing thing but why would that work? ---

The game was released an easy 3-6 months before it should be. Wait until May of 2019 and see what the game looks like. That’s when it SHOULD have been released, but publishers and stakeholders want money, and simply don’t care about the quality of the product. So it was released before the Holiday season to capitalize on sales, which aren’t doing so well in a karmic catch-22. It should never take a game longer to unload assets than to load them. The game is simply not optimized or QA’d in this regard. ---

I haven’t timed it yet, but I almost feel like using ALT+F4 to quit the game and then launching the game again might actually be a faster way to get back to the main menu rather than quitting the normal way. ---

> [@\-aarp-19Crib](#): > > It’s still much faster the BF1 For me BF1 was the same as BFV. Breakthrough is worse than conquest though (and perhaps other game-modes too). Sometimes, just quitting the game (to Windows) takes 20 seconds or so… ---

I usually ALT-F4 to quit the game. ---

The whole game is a shambles, takes forever to quit - I press my windows key and end the task. Along with the other bugs and issues like the next map bug, stuck on landscape, mines float in the air, netcode is awful, TTD bug, freezing, assignments bugged, terrible UI, bugged company coins at 50… Just sloppy no wonder the game has bombed sales wise and with justification
