Quantum Break PC has no "Quit" option on Menu. Gotta Alt-F4.

PC gamers.. complaining about reaching for a m/kb to operate a game. Now I've seen it all.








The lack of a menu option is dumb however.
 
did gears have a quit option in main menu? you can press b or escape to exit in that I think

Sure does

There's nothing half assed about it. It's the way modern Apps work. It's gorgeous imo how you can be playing an extremely graphically demanding game, and have it just start up in an instant without flashing the screen while it changes resolutions or what have you. Alt tab'ing is instant.

I love the potential that is there.

Sure there's some problems, but it's early days. I'm not saying games shouldn't have quit options in their menus.. they certainly should... however, it's literally no big deal whatsoever to back out to the main menu and then move the mouse to the top of the screen and exit.

If you've only got a controller, perhaps simply pressing B again will exit you. I'm not convinced this guy has tried everything. lol

it is without a doubt absolutely lazy, dude.

I get that you like it and all, but KI has a Quit option

it's the easiest shit to implement ever

somehow missing what's standard on a videogame release that is widely played with a controller doesnt speak well of their commitment to PC

like, I get you, but think about how easily you can avoid this fuck up, specially if you supposedly "care"

cool post
 
no quit option is...weird

i understand its an "app" and you can close it at the top but i mean...what about controller users ?

What an oversight
 
Hate to say it, but the guy sounds like an idiot.

Now we have a thread...that will make people think something that may not even be true. Just like the whole sub-30fps at 1080p crap.

I don't believe a word of it. I'll wait to see once we all actually have access to it.

I agree, borderless fullscreen is amazing. So innovative.

The thread is about missing an obvious feature, and a potential warning for how the game may run at its current state. Why people are doubling over themselves to defend it is beyond me. This is relevant information since we haven't exactly seen enough of the game hours before it releases yet.

There were no review copies sent of the PC version, and you guys are railing against someone trying to put *some* information out there? Even calling him an idiot?

Like I say.. I'm not sure he's tried everything. But I agree, I'm sure it will be fixed very soon.
 
Any other impressions other than a single dude? Not shitting on him in any way, I just think one person's opinion doesn't mean much with PC games where everyone has varying specs, drivers, etc.

Well in a stunning vote of confidence, Microsoft hasn't seemed to send any review copies to anyone or there's a release/post-release embargo, so...
 
At this point I'm actually glad to hear that this is yet another UWP dumpster fire. If it was a competent, well-optimized PC port with the options you'd expect then that would be frustrating since the only downside would be UWP. But the fact that this is such a disaster, yet again? Awesome. I couldn't be happier. The more of these there are, the quicker UWP will wither and die... hopefully.

Didn't we already have a review thread for Quantum Break? Like, a week ago? The embargo's been up for a while, I thought.

And I eagerly await Microsoft's sulking and yet defensive response: "We tried, but PC gamers didn't show up!"
 
People talking about quitting the Windows app is a common knowledge thing. I never even knew about that and I'm sure millions of people who use Windows 10 don't know about it either.

People are just being smug about it to make themselves feel special or something. It's pretty gross.

So how do you feel about the guy running it at a locked 60 no problem?

I'm not taking any of these peoples word for it. Wait till people here have it...like myself...and many others.

Not being smug.....but honestly on a fresh system install or your first full screen app launch it should have a tutorial informing you on how to exit. Because the Netflix app from what I remember never had the ability to exit it without doing the bar drop.

Is alt-f4 some kind of secret windows guru keyboard combination as well?
 
Why almost all pc gamers hate every platform that is not Steam, i dont get it... I prefer this to buy an Xbox One at this point.. I cant wait for Forza Apex on my pc, if you dont like the Win10 just skip the game, is a new platform, just give it time to fix all the problems... For what is see on youtube Gears Ultimate is running fine now, and Tomb Rider is running fine on my pc too so stay calm people.

what does this have to do with the platform

That guy's GPU: Nvidia Titan X.

So yay for 60fps on a Titan.

Seems even funnier when you remember people saying that MS would get millions of new people to buy their games since there are a lot of W10 machines out there.

why are you acting like this is something new and that windowed or borderless fullscreen modes don't exist
 
How do some people have this already? I thought people were saying MSFT typically updates the store 8am PST (e.g. 12 hours from now)?
 
Ugh. I'd really like to pick this up tomorrow, but the odds that it will be shit, and that a better version on Steam will come out next year worry me.

Alt+f4 and CTRL+ALT+DELETE have been around longer than most people on here have existed. It might not be common knowledge, but that's the first thing I see on google when I look up how to force quit an app bro.

Nice try though. Better luck next time.
 
I meant Store, like Win10 store, Origins, Uplay... etc.

I think people said good stuff about Killer Instinct and Gears on PC?

this is an in-game thing, exclusive to this game (the not having a Quit button, afaik)


edit: unless your post was just weirdly speaking in general, cause the "give it time to fix issues" made me think you refered to this
