One of the first mentions of this issue can be found a few years back, though that's completely unrelated to this issue if others find things from 2 years back.
This issue seems to be caused by EAC, users are reporting it on ARK, DbD and some other games.

Eventually it closes itself, is it looping or waiting for something?
