SaintsRowIV.exe process hangs

Hey,
Since installing the latest DLC package every time i exit the game the process SaintsRowIV.exe remains and i have no way to end the process... The only way i have is to restart the pc
Im using win 7 x64 and the game is installed on SSD.
any ideas?
 
Are you running any Mods?
Have you tried opening up the Task manager and ending the process in there?

Im not running any mods.
That's the whole thing.. i can't close the process from task manager... no matter what i do,
I even tried external programs to close this process and it just stays there until i restart... :(
 
What happens if you exit out of Steam first and then try to end the SaintsRowIV.exe process?
 
When doing a Google search on such a topic (win 7 related) one is led on a Twilight Zone like experience. Bring aspirin and coffee.

My suggestion is to perhaps do a driver re-appraisal of your system. Update or regress as needed as drivers can cause this issue.

The odd thing though is you say this only happened after a DLC install. Apps hanging on exit..... I didn't search that one ... hmm.

One might start with having Steam recheck the game cache veracity.
Also, you didn't state if you tried to do this process kill while running task manager in Admin mode.
I've had things fail to kill if using application kill but can be nailed using process kill.
 
Applications Tab or Processes tab?
Both

Nothing, The process remains in the processes list with the same amount of used memory and unable to close.

I have all my drivers updated and so my windows 7.
My task manager is always running in admin mode, I didn't have this problems before the DLC installation and it doesn't happen to me with any other game
 
Which DLC did you "Install", and how did you install it?

To the best of my knowledge, none of the DLCs require any kind of installation.

I bought this dlc and the presidential pack aswell.
Everything inside the game works properly with no problem,
But I've noticed the problem started to occur right after the first time i checked the new content of the dlc.
I played on LAN today with a friend who doesn't have any DLC and it was his save and i got a msg that my dlc content will be unavailable now but the problem still happened and every time i want to close the game i have to restart my computer to get rid of the process...
