Title: Idea for a new feature
Post by: ShivanSpS on January 27, 2006, 09:34:14 am
Is simple, many times (for me all :P), when the FS hangs, the pc still runing on the backgroung, but its imposible to access to the Task Manager to end the fs process, why just dont create a opcion in the launcher that let you to select a key combo to kill the proccess? Actually, The FS2_open launcher still open in the backgroung when the game launch... so? this well be great to fast close the process in hangs. (That is very common when you use unfinished mods). I still have randons hangs problem which the FSPORT and DerelitSCP Mods Campaings and my only option is to reset, because Icant access to the task manager...

Till the coders give you a response try going to the Dev Tool section in the launcher and ticking run in window.

At least you can get to task manager to kill it now.

Shift+esc is supposed to do that, actually. Or, a bit more gracefully then just killing the process. IIRC.

Run it in a window. You can kill it pretty easily that way :)

Which build are you using? I got hangs with Derelict on the 16/01/06 and 18/01/06 builds but that's gone away with more recent ones.

I've never had FS2 hang on me since retail. Besides, if it does hang, i.e. it's unresponsive to input, then a special key to exit isn't going work either. You might want to check for a hotkey-driven process killer for Windows, if such a thing exists. That, or run in a window as others have suggested. :)
