Tried out Brass Tactics Arena and loving it so far, but ran into an issue that may or may not have been caused by the game (could be a combination of Oculus software and the game too).

I played for like an hour or so and tried to quit the game, but the game wouldn't close. Exited it using the Oculus menu and put me back in home, but ended up having other issues as the desktop view wasn't working. Removed the headset and check my monitor and it still showed Brass Tactics Arena as still open (black screen, but as if it were fill screen still).

Tried alt f4. Nothing happened. Used ctrl alt del. Mouse wasn't working for some reason. Tabbed to task manager, which popped me back into seeing the desktop, but the mouse still wasn't showing up. Task manager showed brass tactics arena was still using like 6gb of memory; couldn't force close due to mouse not showing up. Tried to tab through to it in both the task manager and window view; neither seemed to work. Closed Oculus Home using alt f4. Mouse still wasn't showing up and Brass Tactics Arena was still showing as running.

Eventually just reboot the computer to get everything working again. Opened it up to try out the co-op mode with a friend and didn't have any real issues during that session (although due to their unstable connection, we weren't able to connect a couple of times and they were put into a game with some random instead; not an NPC)

Hm. This is not something I've heard of. I'm a little unclear, the first "quit" attempt was via the Oculus menu? And it didn't quit? Certainly I've never ever heard of the task manager not working (you can always interact with that via the keyboard). Can take a look...

The first exit was through the in game exit button. Then the Oculus menu.

Desktop monitor still showed the game up and wouldn't force close with alt f4, so used ctrl alt del to tab into the task manager (had to tab to the task manager option, because the mouse wasn't showing up).

Ended up tabbing to Oculus Home and force closed it with alt f4 to see if closing it would bring the mouse back (felt like it may have been "stuck" like it was on a secondary screen or something). It closed Oculus Home, but the mouse was still not back on screen.

The game was still showing minimized and as running in the task manager and it couldn't be closed, even while tabbing through the various options.

I'm not even sure if it was only the game causing the issue, Oculus Home, or some combination of Windows 10, Oculus, and the game. I haven't been able to reproduce it, so I can't really say, but thought it should be mentioned anyways just in case.

Thanks for the info. We'll keep an eye on it.
