Can't exit game from BigBox.

Issue #5066 wontfix
Mike Lettieri created an issue

Problem:

I'm unable to exit a Windows game (SF V) when in BigBox mode. I have an Arcade1up and am using the joysticks and buttons with usb encoders. Exiting the game works fine with controller mapping when using LaunchBox, but not in BigBox.

Things I've tried:

I've tried with the same controller mappings in BigBox without any success. BigBox doesn't have an "exit game" mapping like LaunchBox, but instead has "exit" (which exits LaunchBox but not the game) and a "Close the active window" which I mapped to a button but it still will not exit the game.

    Since this is a PC game exiting via “Escape” key is not usually recommended. Some pc games will not even exit from the “escape” key. That is a hard close and can cause saves to not store properly. You should use the in game exit option. As to why it would work in LB and BB I am not sure. As long as you map the option for “Close Active Window” it should work. However, we still recommend for pc games using the in game exits options, not forcing close with LB/BB escape command.

    As Retro808 stated. PC games should never be killed by an outside process. It can cause damage to the machine state. If you are having the same issue with an emulator please let us know but at this time we will not being trying to assist you in killing a PC process as it simply shouldn't be done.
