Alt-F4 on Windows can trigger a Windows popup reporting that the application was malfunctioning #103

When you hit Alt-F4 on some menus, those which do networking, you may run into a Windows generated error message reporting that the program has stopped working, and that Windows is searching for a solution to the problem (which takes some seconds after which it reports that it could not find one).

I assume this is related to the IRC thread not closing down cleanly in this case.

This kind of (technically minor) issue adds to the unpolished feeling on Windows.

Please provide specific use cases hat can reproduce this error. I tried loading the Internet menu from win7 and both alt-f4 or Clicking window X both close the game without error for me.

I recorded a video on Windows which demonstrates this issue (first crash around 00m30s). This 50 MB download shows how MG crashes on windows in two different ways when pressing Alt-F4.

Half of the video is actually me trying to get the debugger to work (and failing) - sorry abut that.

I have added more verbose output, please reproduce again with --verbose and provide the console output

Thanks to Softcoders' efforts, I can no longer reproduce this issue since d5f915f.
