Comment (by LukasThyWalls):
Ok, noted, Sorry.
I tested all games above and I can confirm now the issue with 2026.4.0 and
ScummVM 2026.4.1git32425-gc6777a499f2 (Oct 15 2026 04:31:32), in Windows
10.
Summarizing, having in Global options -> GUI:
- Return to the launcher when leaving a game [ON]
- Ask for confirmation on exit [OFF]
Using Alt+F4 during any AGS game I could test (mostly the ones noted
above), directly exit the game AND ScummVM. Games of other engines (Tested
some AGI, SCUMM, SCI, DarkSeed...) when pressing Alt+F4 during the game,
it goes to the ScummVM launcher instead.
And, like I tested above, having Ask for confirmation on exit [ON]
instead, make all games tested to go to the launcher instead using Alt+F4,
having between the ScummVM dialog "''Do you really want to return the
launcher...''"
It seems that this ticket and #17340 are different faces of the same
issue: the exit behaviour seems inconsistent between the engines and that
make the launcher behaviour different depending of what engine is shutting
down.
