Game freeze escape method


Recommended Posts

It might be a standard practice for some of you, but this post is intended for people not used to working with unfinished/buggy code.

When your game freezes, you may not be able to return to a working windows desktop. At least at first glance. I've seen some people remark "forced to reboot my PC". This is largely unnecessary, especially in Windows 7.

Situation:

The game froze, you can't click anything. Alt-tab, ctrl-shift-esc and other combinations don't do much.

Solution: press ctr-alt-del. This should show a functional screen. Choose "start task manager". In task manager, click Xenonauts, and "end task". It could take a moment, but Xenonauts should end and your desktop should be usable.
