Disconnect your internet. You can then safely go back to the menu when the dialogue pops up. Reconnect your internet and start over. ---

There is an easier way. Just launch Task Manager, find HITMAN process there and simply end/kill it. You’re done ---

I deliberately didn’t suggest that because there were multiple people saying that this made them fail the mission/campaign. It seems to work for some people, but not for everyone. Disconnecting the internet seems to safely work for everyone. ---

I think I tried it one of the first times I played Freelancer, as I recalled something weird happened and the game wouldn’t quit and I ended up in a hospital ☹ (I’m not stranger to IT so that was my initial instinct). However, disconnecting worked like a charm! ---

Or if there was an emergency. The internet disconnect keeps the game active… Alt+Tab to switch around, then retry the mission if you don’t have to leave. ---

Well, I haven’t had any issue with Task Manager option since they banned Alt+F4. Works perfectly for me in any scenario and situation. It basically works like a crash, like a forced and sudden termination of the app, the process etc. I can’t imagine any issues with this method and I’m surprised reading that it doesn’t work for somebody
