Never ever had that problem. It's always gone back to the menu screen with options etc.

Please add it to insuber's bug thread.

It's what the thread is for.

Thankyou kindly good sir.

I've had it and posted it in the bug thread.

When it happens I see the Icon of Clod on the taskbar telling me the program is still running, yet when you click it (like you would to maximise it) the game launches from scratch?

It does exist and I have Bug reported too

Cheers, MP

exactly what happens to me SOMETIMES, not ALL THE TIME. 60% of other times it'll take me back to the menu as I desired.
but as previously stated, this issue can be worked around by not pushing the ESC key while flying.

Some people have reported problems starting the game and some people have reported problems escaping. Personally I have never had such issues until, strangely enough, tonight. I run CloD using Game Booster and on clicking the icon in the booster window the 'Boosting Game' progress bar appeared, ran, and then nothing. I started the game using the actual Launcher Icon in Steam and it was fine. I restored the Game Booster shortcut to the desktop, clicked on that and again, nothing. So I deleted the shortcut and created a new shortcut which worked fine from the desktop so I dragged it back into Game Booster and that worked ok as well.
I did find, however, that on running the game a few things had unaccountably changed. Planes had aquired icons and some key assignments had changed or disappeared. It was as if a new (or old) controls section had loaded.
But I really do not think it is a game bug. I think it is a system or steam hiccup. And this is the problem, the game clearly dose suffer from bugs but how do you determine if something is really a game bug or if it is caused by other factors on your system or with steam.
Don't forget, this is a complicated bit of code that is trying to accomplish a very large number of tasks at one time so is bound to have problems to be sorted and may well be more sensitive to other software/hardware issues.
If you want a comprehensive WW2 combat simulation then stick with it. If you want a nice, stable, bug free game now then there are plenty of console offerings to choose from.
I just don't think it is helpful to assume you have a game bug and demand the developers get it fixed. As has been suggested, maybe you have something else in the game assigned to the esc key which is causing a conflict. Or it could be any number of other things.
