Have you ever finished a match in Battlefield V and wanted to back out? Chances are, that happens to everyone, right? Did you find that quitting in the game (not mid-match) but after a match in the progression screen takes so long? If so, you’re not the only one with this Battlefield 5 quit game issue, and DICE knows about it!
As part of the other day’s Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything), a user asked DICE if they can explain why it takes so long to quit a game, and here’s what Producer Jaqub Ajmal’s explanation:
As I understand it, the reason why it takes so long is because we already start to load in the next level on the end of round screen, and currently we have some technical limitations with aborting the load process. It’s something we of course would like to fix at some point but I do not have an ETA at the moment.
Yep, it’s mostly due to the map being loaded for the next match. No, it’s not DICE not wanting you to back out or anything nonsensical. Will it get fixed? Let’s hope so.
In other Battlefield V news, DICE admits that the game still has an enemy visibiltiy problem, which the studio is currently tweaking. If you want to learn more about Battlefield V’s netcode and why it feels inconsistent sometimes, go check out this in-depth look.

But even if that’s the case, technology grew with game development and this is a problem that only has been occurring for a few recent years with a few games. With SSD and cards being faster than before, you can’t tell me that actually loading the map when you want to start searching for a match would take too long? Especially not at the cost of just quitting the fucking game.
This just cracks me up, they must have really coded themselves into a corner for that to happen. I can close the game and re-open in about the same time it takes to quit.
