Steam version of Warframe has trouble actually closing, holding onto more than 4 gb of RAM

[TARINunit9]

After exiting out of Warfarme, the application doesn't actually close. My Steam friends list still lists me as being in-game, and Task Manager confirms the Warframe application is still using its allocated 4.6 gb of system memory.

As a test, I opened a YouTube video in the Steam Web Browser and left the audio for it on, then used Warframe's in-game "close the game" button. The audio for the video was still running five minutes later until I eventually just force-quit Warframe from Task Manager

This happens sometimes when it's running closing routines - could you possibly take a look at the EE.log immediately after the session (in '%LOCALAPPDATA%/Warframe' directory) and see if it's stuck on anything in particular?

Otherwise, this might be some weird issue with how Steam's new overlay changes interact with playing content and closing games, but I don't ever use the overlay web browser so I can't say. I just know that I've had this issue maybe once or twice the past few years and a restart usually prevents it from occurring again.

I have the data, should I post it here or no?

I should mention that it took Warframe a good six minutes to go from "window closed" to "Steam recognizes I'm not in game" but it did eventually do so without Task Manager this time

You could post redacted excerpts if you'd like, but the entire log itself contains stuff like IPs and email address so I'd avoid that if possible.

The main thing I'd focus on are the closing routines, near where the EE log says "Exiting main loop" - they should have timestamps and logging about shutdown routines that occur after the game client has closed (like IRC, session callbacks, profile saving, thread cleanup, etc). Mine generally finishes within' about 10s or so, looking at my last log.

Yeah I've already checked for that, thanks for looking out for me

And on the off-chance DE still wants to see it:
