Default Issue solved

Well, the problem wasn't that the client crashed or that a process was still running - it's that I couldn't log back in due to the fact that my IP address was temporarily blocked.

I found out why that was, though. My wife had just finished installing the game and had logged in while I was still waiting for my character to stop being active on the server. In order to prevent multi-boxing on P99, the game doesn't allow more than one connection to a specific server (red/blue/etc) at a time. Since she and I are on the same internal home network and she was logged in at the time, I couldn't log in.

However, there's a specific petition process to request permission for multiple computers using the same IP address to connect to the same server at the same time. It can take a month or more to get such a petition answered and permission validated (and right now, it could probably take a lot longer), but hopefully sometime in the not-too-distant future, she and I will be able to once again play together.
