MTG Arena hangs when trying to exit game (only happens when run from Epic Games launcher)
MTG Arena shouldn't hang when I'm done playing! Has been happening constantly since updating the Epic game launcher last week. When running MTGA.exe directly from the install location, the issue doesn't occur, so it seems to be related to the EGS launcher.
NOTE: other games launched from EGS do not have any such issue...
Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 5600, 32GB RAM, NVidia 3060ti

If my application had a bug reported by multiple users, that caused the app to crash, and I willfully ignored it for months, I would absolutely be fired. So is your dev team hiring? Because it seems like an easy job.

How is it possible that no one who works on the game has checked/responded to this yet? Still an issue 8 months later...

Same issue. Reproductible also when using Alt+F4.
Only way to close the game (when launched from Epic) is to ask Windows to force it ! -

This is still happening with the Epic Launcher. Very frustrating. Often takes up to a minute or two for Windows to recognize the application is non-responsive, and significantly impacts ability to quickly come in and out of Arena.

Can confirm OP's experience-- MTGA build 202.3.13.26904, Epic launcher, Windows 10. Windows Event Viewer reports event 1002, application hang, type unknown.
I also attached a WER event report, if that would help. (The Epic launcher isn't leaving any traces of the bad behavior that I can see in events, unfortunately.)
