How to quit a game

ccd494 · 08-30-2025, 08:20 PM

I had just polished off a three game streak, my team was streaming onto the field to shake hands, and the game crashed. All three games I had played in this sitting were not saved.

All three games I played need to be replayed. I am unwilling to take anything but a 3-0 record for those games. I am about to lose 2-1 in take two of game one. How do I quit a game I am managing in a way that lets me re-start it? I quit the program, and restarted, and the game is paused.

CTRL-Audit-Delete
I auto-save every game and back up before each game. At most, I only have to replay one game.

Yeah, there's an "every day" setting for auto-save, and that saves a lot of heartache. It doesn't take long to save.

Those are good posts, but it doesn’t solve his problem. OP since you already quit the game normally, I’m am unsure if you can stop your current game and begin again. You might be stuck with it.

The only way to prevent a save is to kill the process before the save.

This... at worse once a week and backup. In theory CTRL-Alt-Delete works, but there is always a possibility that you corrupt your game doing so and this isn't something you want so save more often.

I've never had a corrupted league after doing this. If you killed the process while files were being written, sure
