- Try unplugging your internet cable or forcing your connection to crash in any way or form and leave it so for 15 seconds or longer.
- Replug it.

The problem seems to come from the game leaving your character in a permanent “online” state, in a crashed or affected zone. Yes, even if you close the client and steam.
However, if you force the game to see you as “disconnected”, it’ll boot you and allow you to re-log.
