Haplo2111 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hello people, I'm a recently joined member here, first of all I wanna say hi to all ! I am having a weird issue with Skyrim. I have noticed this for a long time now, since I've even first played the game. Apparently the process TESV.exe*32 does not shut down after I exit the game. When I look at processes list from the Task Manager it is still there (eating up some of my RAM capacity) and I am constantly flagged as "In-Game The Elder Scrolls V:Skyrim" on the Steam. I tried to end the process through the Processes list from the Task Manager but it just doesn't do anything. It doesn't shut down. I wonder if this happens to anyone else. This isn't really ruining my day, but when I want to exit Steam it doesn't because it is waiting for the game to close. The issue is the game is already closed minutes ago ! Much thanks for any suggestion and help. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maboru Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Are you playing in windowed mode and how have you been exiting the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haplo2111 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Are you playing in windowed mode and how have you been exiting the game? I'm playing on Fullscreen mode. I usually exit by Escape, Exit from the menu and then choose Desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maboru Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Well that should certainly work! Do you start your game online through Steam? If so it may be a Steam glitch and you can try reinstalling Steam or better yet, first try verifying your cache just for fun although this doesn't seem like that type of problem. Steam will continue to run in the background after you quit the game if you play online so it sounds like Steam isn't getting the 'Quit to Desktop' message. You can also go here - http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1182 - and see if there are any similar problems reported. Sorry, but I just haven't heard of this problem before.

Indeed I start my game through the Steam window. I'll try launching it through the desktop shortcut and post the results here. I have checked google before but I haven't seen this issue anywhere.

maboru Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 You can also try the console command qqq or quitgame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haplo2111 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 By starting up the game through the desktop shortcut, my problems are solved. I am guessıng ıt's due to Steam not seeıng that the game has ended. Thanks a lot for help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
