Gef Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hello all, hope everything's fine arount there. So, for sure I'm doing something wrong, but... how I force exit to BB windows games that doesn't support "quit" from their UI? I can assure there are plenty. Maybe can I assign a maco like "alt+f4" to a controller button or anything similar? Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ever force close actual PC games like that, there is a very good reason nearly every game warns you not to close or turn off your PC while it is saving, you risk corrupting your save data by just closing a program in that way. Use the games own menu to exit PC games. If a game doesn't have that option, which honestly i don't think i have ever seen one, then as you say its probably ALT-F4, but that is already a combo we use, when you have "close active window" setup in Bigbox, we first send ESCAPE, if that doesnt work, then we send ALT-F4.

Your Friendly A.I Overlord Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Like what neil9000 said. But I want to add: If a game does not have an explicit menu option for exiting the game, they usually close with Escape. Or if you use a (Xbox) controller, with the B button.

C-Beats Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Any Windows game that doesn't have a Quit or Exit menu item should be removed from your computer and never heard from again.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gef Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 Don't want to close drastically when ingame, but sadly they do exist. Mainly old games or games with an awful ui like I can say the Dragon's Lair Trilogy on Steam, that expect an "ESC" to exit, but you can navigate the UI with a controller; hybrid keyboard/mouse/controller UI that gives a lot of troubles controlling from outside. Btw, mapping the "Close Active Windows" as a key combo from BB seems to work in many cases, thanks to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gef Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 You are totally right, but some old/crappy ports seems to have problems accepting B as exit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
