Currently the way to close the Game is either Log Out → Exit or in Game ESC → Quit Game but it would be nice to just hit an Exit button in the Mechlab/Home/Wherever.
While I am aware there are Users who got multiple accounts and want to switch between them fast, I think the majority just got one account and want to exit when they want and not got the extra step to see the Login Screen and close the game from there.

As someone who indeed has two accounts.... just press Alt+F4. I'd rather not launch the game every time I want to change account, which I may do multiple times during a play session.

Maybe have an exit option? I'd rather not just kill the process in case it's updating files or some such.


Unfortunately for you Alistair, I think your use case is in the minority.

So how about a „What do you want“ style option?
Currently if you hit Log out you get a Yes/No question, just change it to Yes/No/Quit and everybody will be happy.

Edit: To late and to stupid, that what cleghorn6 wrote...

This is kind of redundant.... Don’t you think? Think about the amount of clicks. You’re only saving one…

However, if you put a Exit button in the main screen, I surely hope that there's a "Are you sure?" button. I wouldn't feel comfortable with a single button that closes everything down. Because I'd hate to click that accidentally and watch the game disappear, as would anyone else, I'm sure.

Most clients have a log out button that brings you to the main screen, and an exit button.
I’m not opposed to having both.. but like I said, I'd like to be asked.

However, like Alister said, just use Alt+F4. Been doing that ever since I started playing in CB and there's no issues. The game doesn't update while it's running...
