I was having an issue the last few days where I would exit my game, either by using the in-game exit button or by closing out the window, and I would get the following popup:
Note that this issue only occurred on packaged games. Running a stand-alone game worked just fine. Also, note that I am on UE4.27.2.
Upon attaching Visual Studio, I got the following log:

My error-fu is weak, but it looks like the issue is coming from the Steam controller plugin. Indeed, once I disabled the plugin I stopped having this issue.
So, can anyone shine a light on what precisely is going wrong here?
