Steps:
1. Load the game and play for ~2 hrs
2. Exit the game in a sanctuary or using the bed in any inn
3. Screen goes black until only the mouse cursor remains (cursor is movable), however, the game does not close
4. I have to alt-tab out and then ctrl-alt-del to access Task Manager and then close the program via Task Manager
Other notes:
This has happened to me twice since the hotfix Monday. Both times I played for roughly 2-3 hours. No error appears when this problem happens. One thing of note is that after both instances, I logged onto my character successfully. I then tried to exit the game almost immediately and was successful, so perhaps the problem occurs after playing a significant amount of time.
