Defiance client doesn't exit correctly

This happened in the beta, and appears to happen now with the full game:

If I exit by any means, the game freezes up entirely and I need to "end task" to get it to fully close. There's also a "CrashHandler.exe" in my task manager that needs to be forced closed. Before I figured this out during the beta, I was starting to see very strange issues in the game, and found 15 copies of CrashHandler.exe that I had to close.

I didn't mention this before cause I figured, beta... But now with the full client doing it, thought I'd ask. (even though you can't connect, when I click "exit game" it does the same thing) Anyone else have this issue or any ideas on how to fix it?

You tried the usual: graphics/sound drivers, directx, antivirus etc.?

Well everything in the game works... I'm able to play just fine, and this is just a minor annoyance of having to end task. I'm pretty sure my drivers and stuff are fine. There's just something that happens when the game exits and I think the crashhandler doesn't work correctly.

I did have some SDK's and debuggers installed a while ago and they're probably misconfigured now, I wonder if that crashhandler might be trying to get exit codes or something and is crashing itself.

Anyone know how to configure the game to not use the crashhandler perhaps?

have you updated your hardware/software? that might be an issue. not updating can cause the most random crashes. but dont see how it happens with the game since its not live unless your talking about the client itself. might be a corrupted download might have to uninstall and re download

Same problem here.
Happened with beta client and also now.
If playing in fullscreen can't even use task manager and i must reboot the pc.

Drivers are updated.

Ooh I hadn't thought of that; I play full screen but dual monitors. You might be able to end-task "blind", control-alt-delete, alt-e.

I have the same issue. All my drivers are up to date. But I can at least get to task manager to close the program.

Have had this issue (and been reporting it) since beta.

Have been mentioning this since beta. nooooo fix. still gotta end task.

Have this too.
If you play in Fullscreen than taskmanager is not visible after that crash.
You can hit Windows key+R type cmd in hit Enter, in the cmd window type
taskkill /f /im defiance.exe
this will close it.
