Summary: American Truck Simulator continues to be marked as "Running" in the Steam client after the application has been closed.
Description:
Every time I exit the game and the window closes, Steam does not recognize that the process has ended. The "Play" button remains as a blue "Stop" button, and I have to manually click it to fully terminate the session. I have already performed the "Verify integrity of game files" multiple times, but the issue persists. To preserve my SSD lifespan, I prefer not to perform a full re-installation.
Steps to Reproduce:
Launch American Truck Simulator from Steam.
Play the game or stay in the main menu.
Exit the game using the "Quit" button in the menu.
Observe the game status in the Steam Library.
Expected Result:
Steam should sync cloud saves and change the status from "Running" to "Play" immediately after the game window closes.
Actual Result:
The game remains in a "Running" state indefinitely until the "Stop" button is manually pressed in Steam.
Troubleshooting done: Verified integrity of game files (multiple times).
Attachments: Game logs (game.log.txt) and screenshots of the Steam client state are attached to this report.

Re: Game remains "Running" in Steam after exit
This is caused by ASUS Armoury crate I believe.
Setting these to 0 in your config file should allow the game to close:
uset cf_asus_aura "0"
uset cf_razer_chroma "0"
uset g_color_feedback "0"
*Uninstalling Armoury crate also works I believe.
Setting these to 0 in your config file should allow the game to close:
uset cf_asus_aura "0"
uset cf_razer_chroma "0"
uset g_color_feedback "0"
*Uninstalling Armoury crate also works I believe.

If you've updated them in your config file, they are persistent changes.
