This doesn't happen all the time, but still quite often.

A while ago I had a problem with the game slowing down...turns out it was the Nvidia 320.18 driver I had installed that caused it. After I went back to 314.22, there were no issues like that anymore.

And then, after one of the patches, something else pops up...

Now, if I exit the game once after I start the computer, then start the game up again at a later time, there's a chance that it may freeze the system upon exiting. I don't know what triggers it, but I do have a suspicion...

As of half an hour before this post, I tried logging in. I was greeted with greyed out ships and a maintenance message, which confused me, because there was no announcement made. Upon exiting the game...it froze.

I've been reading around and seeing stuff about PSO2 failing to shut down properly. People have had to kill it in task manager to stop it and Gameguard from eating up CPU, and that's happened to me as well. Right now, I'm just curious to see if anyone else has had their game freeze up on them like this.
