Yup. Game still exits, game shows running in Steam, and I have to still force stop Steam to continue with anything. Issues still persists.
EDIT: In between this not working I have since reformatted my machine, installed everything fresh, and this still is the only game that I have this happen to.
EDIT P2: I could see how my previous entry might have been hard to read. When I start bannerlord in Steam, it brings me to the splash screen, and then into the game by pressing play. At any time. Menu, in game, anything, when I exit, steam still shows the game as running. That is the main issue, without it closing properly, steam still thinks it is running. This then requires me to suspend and cancel the Steam.exe. Hope this helps.
