R4ndom F1nn1 votesYeah, happened to me too once with the new launcher.
TheLastShadow451 votesThere are ways to interact with the Task Manager even though the loading screen is stuck on the screen.
Start off using ctrl+alt+del to bring up task manager.
Once it's up you can Alt+Tab to it even though it wont show on screen and use the arrow keys to move to the process that is not responding and then hit the Delete or End key to terminate the process.
I have to do the above often.
AlienPrimate1 votesI have a nonresponsive client sometimes at game end and your solution wouldn't work because I can't see the task manager. I can open it but it only shows on the task bar. The only way around this for me is to sign out forcing everything to close.
TheLastShadow451 votesI can't see my task manager either when it happens as well, however I can still Alt+Tab to it just fine but I just can't see it. After that I use the arrow keys to move to the process that broke and I hit Del or End.
AlienPrimate1 votesHow do you know you are on the correct process if you can't see it though?
TheLastShadow451 votesSo when I Alt+Tab and can see the Task manager from the list of tasks that way, when looking at Task manager that way you can see a task highlighted. That's the one you are on.
So you can see it for yourself, bring up task manager and have a task highlighted. Hold down Alt+Tab to see all the tasks you can go through and took at task manager, you should see the highlighted task.

yeah that would be easy IF it did let me alt-tab to other pages. It doesnt let me do it cause of the loading screen getting stuck. i tried alt-tab but it doesnt go to any other pages and is just stuck at the loading screen.
TheLastShadow451 votesEven for me it doesn't bring up the task that I Alt+Tab to. When it does happen and you hit Alt+Tab, are the other tasks viable to you at all? If they are then you can still do the instructions above, if not then yeah you have to restart.
PaladinNO1 votesIf you can't Alt+Tab or open Task Manager, then there is a workaround for that (for the next time it happens anyway):
