Initial screen needs exit button

General Discussion

The splash screen should let the user elegantly exit the game when there is a server connection problem.

My experience just now:

  1. launch the game
  2. Press any key to begin
  3. Connecting to battle.net
  4. You must be connected to battle.net
  5. Press any key to begin
    No way to exit the game.

thank you…I am stuck in the same hell. Task Manager is getting a workout today.

Alt+F4, unless you are on console. not sure how it works there.

4

There is not any server issue currently as the beta has ended and the servers are shut down.

5

This is a multiplayer beta. It won’t be like this at launch. It is designed to prevent you from getting to single player and reducing the need to separate the client into two entities.

6

Can likely press the maker button (PS logo, for example) and then Options > Close Application. Restart it.

You can Alt-Tab out, then close the window from the task bar much faster than dealing with Task Manager.

(I mention that as someone who spent 20 minutes doing it via Task Manager first.)

Thanks everyone. Alt+F4 works. I misread the Prime Evil collection beta access (boo).

I agree with the original JeneralBen there does need to be an exit game option here. Yes I know there are other ways to get it to close, but it should still have that option.

Yes it does - I have had to Alt+F4 many times stuck here.
