Don't Know If It Is Warframe Or Steam...refuses To Shutdown.

This issue has been happening...for a LONG time for me and it is getting to the point I can't handle it. I can still play the game, but when I log out and exit the program, Steam says I am still playing. I try and shut down Steam but it says I can't as Warframe is still running, I try and start Warframe back up...and it says I can't as it is already running. The only way to kill it is to got to Task Manager and force kill the "Steam bootstrapper" process.

There was a short time it was working fine...but that failed, I have "reverified" file with Steam several times...and still does nothing to fix it.

How...the hell do I fix this, Steam people don't seem to care...at all.

 

Thanks.

Interesting, ive never seen this happen with steam bootstrapper being the way to close this, unless perhaps both work. This issue has popped up for a few users in the past and most of us appear to close warframe.exe via taskmanager, ive never seen it done via steam bootstrapper. Does closing warframe.exe also fix the issue and bootstrapper is just an alternative fix or is this actually a different issue?

This used to happen a lot to me, always when my client hanged on trying to connect to the server. It seems as if it never stops trying to connect. Killing the Warframe.exe process is the only way to stop it.

I guess I might of missed the Warframe.exe, I'll look for that next time. Though I don't seem to remember that being there, I just get a blurred frustration now as it has been like this for MONTHS. 

I don't remember before hand that Warframe took longer to close, I have forgotten about it before and I will be "playing" Warframe for hours according to my Steam status.

I am not sure which update is was. I was happening in one then updated, worked fine and then after another(or maybe it was so much time in that update) it was broke and started happening again.

Verifying file with Steam does nothing, says I fail to verify all files(or 116 of them) redownloads and I update, it changes nothing.

I had this problem and it appeared to be Steam that was taking forever to shutdown.

However as of me doing the small patch this morning I have some odd behavior from Warframe. It is slow to boot, slow to exit and even in the loadout screen it is slow as hell and randomly would freeze up when changing weapons or sentinels.

There is no Warframe.exe or anything once I exit the game, only way to "fix" it is the Force shutdown the Bootstrapper. :/

I am having the exact problem verbatim. No warframe.exe, even when looking at all processes. Only shutting down the bootstrapper seems to help. I don't have a solution to whats going on with steam, sorry about that. However, I'm going to download the game manually, separate steam, and see if that helps.
