FF14 not exiting properly since update

I've been having the same problem since the update. Despite where I log out / exit the game it just gets stuck on the blackscreen

PC Player

Blackscreens with Logout then Exit, as well as Exit. Doesn't matter whether I'm in an inn, rested area, outside of a rested area.

I have teh same issue, but it's no biggie as I just close it in task manager...

I have the same problem. Each time I log out of the game the screen goes black and freezes.

I use the Cross hotbar and controller on PC.

Still happening to me on PS3 and where the PC players can simply close it up WE cannot. It restarts the PS3 fully and logs us out of PSN.

So its an issue to us (PS3 users), and personally, im gettin real tired of being ignored.

I have the same issue on my PS3. Blackscreen when I try to go back to the login screen and then PS3 restarts or I have to turn it off myself.
I also have to reset my password now when I try to login again after this blackscreen issue because for some reason my account gets restricted everytime due to changes in my connection or suspicious activity. This happend 3 times now.

That's pretty annoying SE.

I'm having this happen on my PS3 almost everytime I choose "Exit Game" also. If I choose "Log Out" and then simply Quit Game from the XMB it seems to work fine, but choosing "Exit Game" from either the Inn or wherever else that option is causing a black screen, PS3 reboot, etc as others have said.

Same problem here. The game hangs on a black screen upon exit and never errors out, so the only way to get rid of it is to kill the process manually.

PC Windows 7 64-bit.

I have the exact same issue as OP; however, it only affects 2 of the computers in my household.

Affected computers:
1. Windows 7 Pro 64-bit w/EVGA GTX 780 GPU
2. Windows 7 Pro 64-bit w/EVGA GTX 760 SC GPU

Computers NOT affected:
1. Windows 8 Pro 64-bit w/Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU

* * NOTE Our PS3 does not seem to be affected yet and logs off game properly like the Windows 8 machine.

same issue here. have to cntrl alt delete and force shutdown of application on PC to get it to close down.

I have same issue. Everytime I exit the game, I have to close it by using Task Manager.

same thing happening here. Logged out yesterday and waited like 5 minutes on the black screen before i finally just manually killed it.

Same here.

Only happens occasionally to me but only since last patch.

ctrl-alt-delete, kill process only way out

Same issue here.

same issue here

Just tossing my name in the pile as well. Haven't been able to properly shut down the game in several days. Task Manager all the way. No other problems.

Having same probelm :)

SE is just adding more features to the game. That's what 2.05 was for. I can't wait for the next "hotfix".

lol now that i think about it everytime i closed the game an error came up forcing me to use task manager to close it............wonder why it didn't register in my head that this was a problem >_>

It did the black screen thing to me on Tuesday night and had to force it to close so I hope this patch has solved the problem.

This also seems to happen on ps3, but so only if i have to exit to get Screenshot to work again or to get sound back but only after playing for a really long time, i will get black screen, it also doesn't save player set settings like macros or crosshotbar settings if I get black screen and have force quit.

Yesterday , after client updated , everything went fine , seems like ok now , cool :)

I still have this problem when i exit the game, on PC. I have to ctrl+atl+dlt then end program.
