Failed to Join + Alt F4 = sometimes win?

So I've noticed that sometimes when I Alt F4 when I FTJ it takse me right back to the create/join game screen rather than closing my game. Has this happened to anyone else? And a lot of the time it still closes my game, so can anyone tell me the circumstances required for this to take effect?|||I have had both effects. One day alt+f4 brought me to chat screen, most recently its closed my game.
Sorry i cant be more help than to reiterate what u said.|||how can you get to play again when you press alt+f4??????????????????? please answer quickly|||I think if you wait for too long, it will close the game
if you do it early enough it seems to cancel only the game creation attempt
hope this helps|||This happens due to a bug in the bnet servers. IE since new ladder began a flood of bots has come about busy unresponsive servers will allow you to exit out of them if you fail. This is a DIFFERENT fail to join than the REGULAR fail to join. The regular fail to join happens when you attempt to join a game to fast the other server you just logged out has not had time to save and close out your character(another example is when a server crashes or is taken down by blizzard which prevents other servers from updating which will prevent you from joining a game for 5minutes) before joining a new game. This first example is ment to prevent your char from joining two games at once its just a failed way of doing it... The fail to join you can exit out is due to server population/lag I believe however I cannot be sure as to this fact because blizzard hasnt released info about it. When a server is populated to the extent you are unable to join it will "Timeout" or fail to join which you can alt+f4 out of to prevent this. It also appears its possible this is an anti botting step taken by blizzard. What it is is unknown but CAN be identifyed OTHER than just "do alt+f4 quick to back out" which is untrue. Blizzard is compounding their mistakes slowly and has of yet to show the will or the drive to fix up or work torwards helping the d2 code/community in any way so far other than fixing a dupe once in awhile. Not that its all blizzards fault as more and more people are coming up with ways to exploit abuse and maim the program itself which causes probs for the servers and other players as a whole.
in summery there are two DIFFERENT fail to join messages. One thats due to joining to fast and one thats a over population/crowd control.
