[PC]Game still running in the background after I exit it. | Forums

I've been having this issue for a while now since the latest patches. Every time I close the game, it doesn't really closes and I'm forced to kill the process through the task manager. Anyone else having this problem?

Hey,

Can you try disabling the Uplay overlay in the Uplay settings and then see if you still have this issue?

[VASH_WOLF]

Yeah, it worked! But... I wouldn't really call that a fix since now I can't message my friends or invite them without the Uplay overlay.

Are you going to fix/patch this issue later or I'll just have to stick around without the overlay?

@VASH_WOLF Do you own the game through Steam or Uplay by chance?

Through Uplay. However, just let me say that I JUST started having the exact same problem with my copy of Siege, which I own through Steam...
Seems to be an issue with Uplay's overlay, for some reason.

Could you try reinstalling the Uplay client?

I already tried that before getting in contact with the forum. I also tried the support and they weren't very helpful either. The first answer to this did fix the problem, but like I said, I wouldn't call disabling the Uplay overlay a 'fix' since I need it.
