For this reason, there is no quit button after a battle in the multiplayer of Battlefield 1.
If you play the multiplayer mode of Battlefield 1, you may have noticed that there is no simple way to stop after battles. On the points screen, one searches in vain for a button that leads to quitting the game mode. This means you have to wait until a new battle has loaded, just to leave it immediately. Is this a design flaw or intended? A DICE employee has now responded to this on Reddit.
Where is the quit button?
Many players asked on Reddit how to end a multiplayer session in Battlefield 1 without having to load a new game first. The DICE employee SvartAnka explained what system is built into the multiplayer and why players cannot exit the loading screen. During the end-of-round screen, the new level is already being loaded. The whole process happens in the background and is not visible to the player. While the new level is loading, a session cannot be ended.
Therefore, the quit button is hidden in the interface, and players must leave games that have just started. This brings many disadvantages, as it can quickly lead to temporary unbalancing, while one team has fewer players. SvartAnka writes on Reddit that players should be better informed about this situation. Additionally, a “Queue up a Quit” function is mentioned. With such a function, it might be possible to select an option to leave multiplayer after the end-of-round screen. A similar system exists in GTA 5 Online, where you can choose to go back to free mode after a multiplayer mission without playing another mission.
Unfortunately, there was no information on when such a “Queue up a Quit” function could be integrated into the game. Until then, you will have to continue to end the game the hard way.
