To access the console command, do "F8" while you're in a game. Then there you can just type "exit".
Another way, if you got renguard: just alt-tab and close renguard; it will close renegade for you.
Maybe a reinstall could fix this? Check the reinstall sticky in this subforum.

The reason this happens is due to your graphics card setup. This bug occurs with most renegade's however if you have a radeon card it does not close after like 20 seconds.
When the black screen bug occurs your computer is under the impression everything closed properly, now if you load a full screen application the computer will load that and usually switch to it, thus fixing the frozen screen.
I setup shortcut keys to load full screen apps when this occurs... for example I hit Crtl+alt+shift+a and it loads army of earth.
Jamie is a guys name in Europe...

Nope, it's because of a bug in Renegade (it's not properly releasing all video card resources when being shut down). It happens exactly the same on all ATi, NVIDIA, S3, Matrox, PowerVR, 3Dfx, 3DLabs, VIA, SiS, Intel, and other manufacturer's video cards. Please don't go spreading misinformation

I get this every now and then on my machine (which has a NVidia card in it). The usual culprit is alt-tabbing out and back in in the last 15 or so minutes before client shutdown, or so it seems...
