FF14 not exiting properly since update

[Azmaria]

Same here, I am having the issue as well with blackscreen on logout.

+1 more... *sigh*

+1, game doesn't close properly since latest patch.

This also occurs sometimes (more often than not) if I am windowed out during the intro movie... game functioning stops.

If needed, Intel i7 4770k, ASUS Z87-A ATX LGA1150, EVGA GTX 780 S/C, Kingston Hyper-X 16GB DDR3-1600 CL10.

Same exact problem here. Game is, and has been, working totally fine except for this black screen that it gets stuck when I exit the game. Didn't start doing this until the most recent patch. I have to kill the process in the Windows Task Manager but otherwise there aren't any problems. Minor nuisance, but it'd be nice if we can get a fix.

I'm having the same issue on PS3. Logging out to the title screen seems to work perfectly fine for now.

I'm having the same problem with the game not shutting down properly when I exit. This started happening after the maintenance.

[Lissandra]

Same here. Since this last maintenance, upon hitting "Exit Game", I am also just sitting on a black screen and am forced to use task manager to close it. Happens on both my computers.

I used to have this problem as well. I think I might have gotten rid of it. Don't use Shutdown from inside the game, but rather Logout. When you are brought to the title screen, I noticed that the "Start" button is greyed out for approximately 2-3 seconds. If I exit or use the Red X to close the window before the "Start" button is not greyed out, then the game would hang. However, if I waited until the Start button is not longer greyed out, and then exited, the game seemed to close properly. Try it out for yourself and post here if it works for you.

I'm on ps3 and the game will not exit properly since maintenance. It goes to a black screen and I have to force shut down the game. This causes the system to freeze and reboot itself.

same problem here...

FFXIV crashed too when minimized playing video

NEVER happened before the last patch...

Man, more testing with a pitchfork...

JPR out!
