How To Stop Game From Freezing When Exiting?

[Something]

Anyone know what I can do to stop the game from freezing either the client or my PC when I exit it? I'm using the unofficial patch and MGE XE.

Ah well that explains why it happens to me; I have MGE XE in common. But I use MCP and Patch for Purists.

I've noticed the freezing when quitting only happens for me when I play for a longer sitting. If I quit in a "shorter" amount of time freezing doesn't happen.

This makes me suspect a memory leak issue in most likely MGE XE as that's what we have in common.

Does yours ALWAYS freeze on exit no matter what, or will yours quit normally with no freeze if you quit after a "short" amount of time?

I've had the same issue as well. It's usually around thirty minutes in, or any time that goes into thirty.

Typically after 20 minutes or so is when I start to run the risk of freezing. If it's under an hour just the client will freeze on exit. If it's over an hour there's a chance my entire PC will freeze on exit.

Wow that sounds like a bigger problem. I've played for hours on end and only get the crash on exit. Never had my entire PC lock. Are you sure that's what happened or is it one of those times where you can't get the screen minimized/control panel to come up? Because there's ways around that.

I've used alt-tabbing or ctrl+alt+del and then force closing the game as a workaround: For whatever reason nothing freezes when I do. A little cumbersome but if it works it works.

Yeah that dude's entire OS shouldn't be freezing on him tho

My game doesn't freeze when I exit.
I don't even know what you mean by freezing. You mean you can't actually exit the game?
Sounds like your PC.

Well, fortunately, others know exactly what we are talking about and no, besides for that guy who's entire OS seems to crash, it is not our PC. But thanks for contributing. I hope you got your entertainment value for your comment.

It usually hangs for me as well when exiting, and I use MGE XE as well. I don't really see it as a particularly big problem, though... I just bring up Task Manager and close it that way.

If you are talking about how the game takes about 5 seconds to close before doing so, then I know what you are talking about.
That is such a minor thing though the game always closes itself after this brief closing period it's not something worth making a topic about.

It's not a "problem" just curious about it. Though it does more than "hang," it will flatout freeze making task manage MANDATORY, or clicking the screen constantly until the error window comes up saying it's not responding. If it JUST hanged for a few a seconds that would be different. Sometimes it does do that, but more often, it either exits as it should or it freezes.

When I say "hang" I mean in the more "final" manner... e.g. freezing completely. IIRC it does that literally every time, but then, I've got a fairly heavily modded game as well. But it's just a minor inconvenience and nothing more for me at least.

Yes I agree it's minor, I'm not discussing it because it bugs the hell out of me, I'm discussing it because I'm curious is all.

Why is everyone so quick to assume anyone discussing a minor annoyance is trying to make a scene about something? It's just talk.

Use the mod "expeditious exit".

This happened to me even before I had any mods installed, after a while if I Alt-tab when I try to come back to the game, it sometimes freezes and I must terminate task for it to even close, it happens to me less often with Oblivion, even less often with Fallout New Vegas and it has never happened to me in Skyrim.

Some of these games have an anticrash mod, but I'm unsure if MW has one.
