Game hanging when quiting from multiplayer

Heylo peeps, everytime I quit to main menu from a multiplayer game no matter in space or on a planet etc, my game hangs, I've tried quitting directly as well as going to select another server then quiting to main menu. Result = same. It still hangs. It really pisses me off since it forces me to press the reset button on my pc taking heaps of time to start up :'( anyone can help me?

Yes, this is happening to me also, and a few others by the looks of things.

Here's a workaround until the problem is patched:

When FL hangs, press CTRL-ALT-DELETE, open up the Task Manager, click on the 'Processes' tab and look for a process called something like '~f1d055.tmp', highlight this and press the 'End Process' button. This will close FL and you will not need to reboot.

If you find the mouse is not working then here are the keystrokes:

CTRL-ALT-DELETE
ALT-T to open Task Manager
Press TAB and/or the scroll keys to move to the 'Processes' dialog
Press TAB and then the scroll keys to move down the list of processes
When the '~f1d055.tmp' process is highlighted press ALT-E to end the process.

Hope this helps.
