It doesnt linger in Windows Task Manager, but I am able to see it in an App called Process Lasso (used to use it for core parking) and terminate it that way, however, that doesnt stop the game form showing "Running" in Steam
I do now think that the issue is with the console window that appears when launching through steam not closing correctly. Test below:
To test, I let the game close by itself as anyone would normally. Game closes, EA App closes and then after that the console window closes.
Test 2: Game closes, I FORCE close the console window, EA app does not close automatically, I close EA App, Game still says "Running" in Steam.
So yeah, I think it has something to do with the console window remaining open in the background (although I did test that also but closing every instance of the console window in task manager, don't know if I missed one but I dont think I did.)
For clarity, I get this EADesktop.exe console window.
I notice that the Terminal window doesnt open now, not sure if ti was from an update or what but yeah.
