Ever since launch Gorgon wont exit successfully within Steam. I have to restart my computer each time. Screenshot for reference. The Gorgon process is not running on my machine, but steam sure thinks it is. Steam hangs on STOPPING forever.

i'm having the same problem! closing steam entirely does the trick in my case though... but i have to close steam or gorgon simply won't stop running

Closing steam doesnt work for me, even when force killed through the task manager

it's weird too bc i dont think it was doing that yesterday at all for me

This is caused by using /wiki in game. Steam thinks the new browser tab that opens is part of the game. (Very annoying.) Close that browser and you should see the game close. (Apparently Edge can leave it running in the background even if you close the browser, though, so that's fun.)

The only workaround I have at the moment is the /swiki command. Use that instead of /wiki to open the wiki in the Steam overlay instead of in a browser

i have never used that command personally. and i'm testing it right now again after logging into my character and just running around for a bit and the issue seems to still be there

#

so i'm not sure

Doesn’t happen with Firefox, btw.
-# I’ve been playing for months now and use /wiki regularly. Never had a shutdown issue. So, windows.

kind cedar huh, thats a new one then. will have to investigate

been a few minutes, still hasnt closed. so i'd need to close steam and then reopen to play again, etc.

#

take your time, it's a small problem for me. but seems like a bigger one for @young lotus

Ah, wondered why there was both swiki & wiki. Now I know 🙂

Well with the browser workaround it should be fine. Makes a lot of sense!
