I have never encountered this problem before but while attempting to lease a second stand in the Clothiers Den the game froze on 3 separate attempts. It was specifically from Stand No. 8 in the Clothiers Den, Gridania. I had already leased the stand directly opposite from No. 8 without a problem but it froze each time I attempted to lease Stand No. 8. I could still type but the UI would not respond. I had to quit and restart each time.
