Well, it automatically launched the game after patching, and since I was busy with something else I tried to quit the game as soon as I could. So I clicked on Quit and the game stopped responding. I could see my cursor moving around, but I couldn't do anything. I had to hit the reset button since none of the magic "shut this motherfucker down" key combinations were working.
It was nice of them to patch it before the weekend though.
