Crimson Desert How to Exit Game
Exiting Crimson Desert is way more confusing than it should be. There is no simple quit button in the main menu, so most players end up using alt F4 or thinking the game is bugged. The actual method exists, it is just buried in menus for no good reason.
How To Exit Crimson Desert Properly
Open the menu, go to Other, then Options, select Title Screen, and quit from there.
That is the intended way to exit the game without risking progress.
Step By Step Exit Method
Follow this exactly or you will not see the quit option.
Press ESC or open the pause menu
Go to the Other section
Enter Options
Select Title Screen
Once at the title screen, choose Quit
You cannot exit directly from gameplay. The game forces you to go through the title screen first.
How To Save Before Exiting
Saving is just as important since quitting wrong can lose progress.
Open the menu
Go to Other, then Options
Use Save or Save and Load menu
Make sure you save before heading to the title screen.
Faster Ways To Exit The Game
If you do not want to go through menus every time, there are quicker options.
Press Alt F4 on PC
Alt tab, then close the game from your desktop
Use Task Manager to end the game
Alt F4 is safe to use since the game gives a confirmation prompt.
Why There Is No Exit Button
Right now, the game follows a more console style menu system.
You are expected to return to the title screen before quitting. It is not intuitive for PC players, which is why so many people think the option is missing.
Common Problems When Exiting
Some players notice progress not saving after quitting.
Not saving manually before exiting
Closing the game too quickly
Skipping the title screen method
Always save first if you want to be safe.
Final Blurb
Crimson Desert hides the quit option behind multiple menus, which makes it feel like it does not exist. Once you know the path, it is simple, just not convenient. If you do not want to deal with it, Alt F4 works perfectly fine as long as you save first.
