Game freezes on logout
Posted: Sat Nov 26, 2016 6:22 pm
Recently I've been having issues logging out.
What happens is basically that the logout timer freezes on the last second, causing the game to hang on a black screen. Furthermore, I'm unable to access Task Manager or my desktop, when this happens, because the black screen seems to stay on top of the Task Manager window. So I can't kill the client either.
The only thing I can get to show up on top of the black screen is the Windows Taskbar - by pressing the Windows key on my keyboard. Here I can also see open windows, like WAR and internet browser. But I can't close the WAR window. My only option is to either restart the computer or sign out - as I am able to click the Windows start button.
It doesn't happen all the time, but more often than not. Also it doesn't seem to be tied to either logging out to character screen or simply exiting the game - as it happens with both types of logout. Sometimes, but not always, I get a Runtime Error.
I never had this issue before - at least not in such a noticable scale. So was wondering if anybody else have had similar issues, or maybe knows what's causing it?
For the record, I'm using YakUI (with a ton of extra addons).
EDIT: I just realized I didn't have the "Always on top" option on in Task Manager - so it will probably be accessible next time it happens. But it's still an annoying issue!
