Problem Encountered at Step #: (read the "What Should Happen" for this step#)2
Which Program (ASGS/Allegiance):ASGS
What Error Message: Only one Instance of ASGS can be run at a time
Comments (What you tried, description, etc):

Okay, the game was running fine for about two weeks, and I don't think I changed anything, but now everytime the game is closed, I can't start ASGS again. It says there is already an instance running even though I ended the process in the Task Manager.

The game runs fine the first time, until I alt tab-crash or close the game. Then I can't play until I completely restart my computer.

I'm no expert, but I think you could try downloading and running Microsoft's Process Explorer, and use it to look for any still-running processes related to ASGS, to see if anything still hasn't been ended or closed. However, I've no idea what could be causing the problem in the first place.

Are you sure you are closing both the game and ASGS, or just the game?

Alt-Enter is more reliable than Alt-Tab btw.

Are you working with an old install? We put up a new installer a few weeks ago - allegsetup221.exe is the proper one.

You need to close down Allegiance by going thru the "Exit" game functions until you're left with ASGS showing you as "Logged Out". If you alt-tab out and then close ASGS which kills Allegiance, you'll be required to reboot before you can reconnect or you'll have to wait forever to time-out.

Okay I figured it out. After I close Allegiance, the ASGS window is unresponsive... its like its not there and I can click through it. If I close it through task manager or right click the task bar and close, then I get the bug. I have to minimize the ASGS window two times before it becomes responsive and I can close it with the normal X on the top right. If I do that it works.
