  • Details:
    InZoi is not closing properly after I quit the game… it was running for hours last night in the background while my PC was in sleep mode somehow, even though I have a clear memory of closing the game. The game already eats up 65-93% of my PC’s RAM so I’m terrified that this could have damaged my PC. Please fix this.

Do you quit the game with ‘save and exit’?

If yes, try to save first and see how long it takes and then exit and how long that takes, to narrow it down.

i just hit exit and save my game right before that

Pressing exit isn’t enough???

I’ve definitely seen evidence of this. After exiting the game, it sometimes says on Steam that the game is still ‘playing’ even after a long while. It has to be force closed by exiting all of Steam.

I don’t know if it started right after the October update or a hotfix, but the game also takes so much longer until it eventually starts.
Usually, when I double clicked on psycat, the launching screen popped up right away, now it takes 30 seconds (yes, I stopped the time ^^’) and 1 minute and 15 seconds until the Lobby (with manually skipping the intros).
(without mods)

  • Game Version: Newest version

  • Platform: Steam

  • Mods: Never used.

  • Hardware Specifications & Operating System Not important. It’s not just happening to me either, others are reporting that the game won’t close properly.

  • Steps to Reproduce: Press save and quit.

  • Please provide the entire save file(s) from the date when the issue occurred.
    I don’t need a save to show my game isn’t quitting.

  • Details:
    I played InZoi last night, and the game did not fully close after saving and quitting. This has now happened multiple times. I thought this was the second time, but I remember now that this happened months ago too. The game “ran” all night and I’m scared that this could damage my PC. Please fix whatever issue is causing the game not to close. Other people are having the exact same problem.

Hello @KenzieGh0st,

Since this topic matches the existing thread about the game not closing properly after quitting, so I’ll merge them.

I ran tests on my setup with the following results:

From clicking “start” in Steam → lobby fully functional (auto-skip intro on) = 48 seconds
Clicking in-game on “exit” → steam being able to restart with green “play” button = 11 seconds

The first days / first week after release in March were tougher though. I remember closing times from 1-2 minutes back then. Hasn’t happened to me after the first hotfix anymore.

Don’t worry, your PC won’t break of things like this

Okay. Sorry for making another post, I was kind of worried the old one would close since it had been about a week since I played InZoi until yesterday, so the issue hasn’t occurred again until yesterday,

I hope you’re right. I have a lot of anxiety towards my PC’s safety. I love it so much and I’d be utterly devastated if something happened to it. Thank you.

nahh the components are made to be used, old graphic cards got used years for mining (the ones they now sell on aliexpress), those often stop working properly anymore, but they were also grinding for bitcoins 24/7 for years, not comparable to the little strain of our own hardware

This happens to me too, but clicking the button to close the game on the Steam launcher usually fixes it. There are times I’ve had to restart my computer for it to close completely, though. I’ve never lost anything by doing that, but always do “Save” first, then “Save & Exit” or “Exit.”

For your peace of mind about the RAM and PC thing:

  1. As others have said, your PC is not going to break or become seriously damaged by running the game for long hours, and it definitely won’t be damaged by the background processes not closing properly. Modern gaming computers are sturdy and built for this. They can withstand a LOT, including high temperatures and heavy RAM usage.

    It is good to give the computer a break and to restart the game after a while so it can release built-up resources to run smoothly again, but your computer will be okay.

  2. There is a saying in the gaming community, “Unused RAM is wasted RAM.” As long as your games aren’t crashing due to the RAM maxing out, it’s completely fine and normal, and your computer is using the RAM efficiently to enhance your gameplay as it’s supposed to.

    A secret: Your computer and its applications will always use big chunks of RAM because the more RAM you have, the more it will use… just because it can. Think of it like seeing a free pot of cash. You’d probably take as much as you can, even if you don’t really “need” it.
