Proper saving dialogue on game exit - Celarious - 01-08-2024
Currently, when you close the game, the window closes but it initiates a Current Game save. This causes the game to keep running in the background for a few minutes after supposedly closing, which Steam also shows
This is confusing, and might cause users to kill the process during the save if they think it's failed to close properly, especially if they don't know that the game is saving
Instead, the game window shouldn't immediately close on exit, but instead show a popup telling the user that it's saving, or at least asking the user if they want to save, ideally with a progress bar or a waiting symbol of some kind, but even just text saying "saving before closing..." would be fine

Closing the main window and showing a small dialog with some ad-hoc progress bar would be best, IMO.
Though, this is not a bug per se.
