How do you exit a game from full screen mode when the game has crashed?

Hello !

How do you exit a game from full screen m… - Apple Community

I have the exact same question as above. None of the solution provided worked for me. The last solution is not suitable since I only have a black screen, so I can't open any windows. For now, I juste have to wait that steam notice that the game is broken and leave me out of this mode. But this is very anoying since it can take a while.

I'm on Mac Mini M2.

Mac mini, macOS 14.1

The game might have wedged, and not crashed.

You should be able to exit using either a force-quit if wedged, or with Mission Control.

The cure is, to figure out why the game and/or the Mac mini is crashing in the first place.

One way to do that, is to go to the game developers web-site for support and/or a solution.

Another possible way figure out what's going on, is to use EtreCheckPro.

Then post back here if you need help deciphering the Mac mini's EtreCheckPro Report.
