Hl2.exe Remains Running After Exiting
 

This happens every time I get off Fortress Forever. It goes to desktop, has that blink as if it's exiting the whole exe, but when I go to processes in the task manager, it's hogging half my CPU. I have to manually end the exe once I'm done exiting FF. It's getting pretty annoying.

Anyone else getting this problem?

EDIT:
For an update, this happens when I exit FF when I'm in-game (in a server).

Do you Disconnect from the server first? Or just Exit while still connected?
Soulja boy was havin the same problem i think.

I always disconnect first, and haven't had a problem.

Yeah, this happens when I exit while I'm in a server. Though there's a way around it like you stated, this doesn't happen to me in other source games (HL2DM, CSS, etc.) and may be a problem with FF.

This has happened to me occasionally, it's not at the moment tho....strange.

Has only happened to me since 2.2 and only after release. Did not happen in the beta. Happens when I exit directly from the server to my desktop.

Rather annoying.

+1 it happens all the time for me now.

I get it in tf2 quite often but not always.

Yes i just started having this issue too, never before, not sure about other mod's yet, but there is a thread about it also in the steam forums. And from what i saw when i went to steam forums, everyone of them guys so far run WinXP sp3.

it happens to me too since some days ago, its very annoying..

Is it the same typing "quit" as "exit"? I remember a TFC thing ages ago when quit and exit did different things.

Actually we are quiting from main menu. But since you brought that up im going to see what it will do, typing exit in console to quit game.

Yep, just from the main menu. While in game, hitting escape, and exiting to desktop.

Has happened to me every time since the patch. I usually just type "exit" at console.

Same thing happens to me.

This started to happen two days before installing the patch for me, so it might not be related to the 2.2 patch.

This is a Source engine problem and Valve are asking for your help to fix it:

This is an engine bug and Valve are looking into it.

Have any of you tried setting the "quite Game button" in your keyboard options?

Thats what I use it closes the game from in game and sends you straight to desk top.
