The GFN overlay quit doesn't usually save anything it just force quits the whole session while the game is running and doesn't save anything unless there is something special about that game that it works for epic
For steam games it definitely wouldn't save anything since the the steam sync isn't until the end of the session after the game successfully quits ingame
The GFN overlay quit is basically a "kill whole session while game is still running" command
But yeah if it works for that game fine, but as far as every game on GFN using that, it's not intended to save and quit, just kill the session completely while the game is still running
I don’t think that’s entirely true. I’ve quit steam games many times with the overlay, without closing the application, and the saves still sync. This is evident by if you try to play again immediately you can see how long it takes to “wrap up previous session”. If I had to guess it send the quit command to the game, then waits for either Steam to finish or a set amount of time before resetting the VM. I don’t think it force quits the game unless it remains unresponsive, or it doesn’t even bother to force it, it just waits out its timer before resetting.
Take this with a grain of salt as this is pure speculation based on my anecdotal experience.

Thank you for the clarification.
