Game Client Freezes when Exiting/Logging Off (black screen)

Time:

October 18, 2013 at (around) 3:30AM* (first incident)
October 19, 2013 at 4:00AM* (second incident)
*both times at Atlantic Time Zone

Frequency:

It has happened to me twice already, but I know that it has also happened to other people.

World name:

Balmung (first incident)
Gungnir (second inciedent)

Character name:

Aria Ardeo (first incident)
Ishtarelihan Vamvaer (second incident)

NPC name:

N/A

Monster name:

N/A

Class/Level:

Bard/46 (at the time of the first incident)
Marauder/27 (at the time of the second incident)

Party or solo:

solo

In-game time:

didn't checked

Area and coordinates:

The first time the bug occurred (the first incident) I had selected Exit Game from the main menu. At the time I was in one of the camps (if I'm not mistaken, I was at Revenant's Camp).

The second time the bug occurred (a few minutes ago) I selected Log Off from the main menu while inside Limsa Lominsa's Inn, then click on Exit at the title screen.

Steps:

In both occasions, when I'm logging off or exiting the game, the client freezes. If I'm at the Inn, the character get's on the bed then the screen fades to black. If I'm at one of the camps outside, the screen just becomes black. Both times the client froze at this exact moment (when the screen is black) and I had to manually end the process directly from the Task Manager. The first time it happened I gave it some time, went on to take a shower and when I came back the game was still with a black screen.

This has been happening since the latest update/hotfix (update 2.05)
