Steam can't close the process of the game Magicka 2 (238370) after we exit the game. Even if I click on the "Stop" button won't do anything and will remain as a running process.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Launch the game
  2. Exit the game
  3. Try to finish the process using the stop button

Hello @FurtadoPires, this issue should also be mentioned to the game's dev(s) if it hasn't been already.

I already did it, I know this is a problem for the developers, but I also open an issue here because I think steam should be able to close the game even if it misbehaves

I can reproduce. Force Quit via the in game overlay works but the Quit button in the Steam client UI does nothing.

Next beta (> Oct 28) will have a fix for this.

I can confirm that the Nov 4 2020 works. The game still don't close properly, but at least we can now finish the process through the stop button.

Thank you @TTimo
