I was able to get my turn in, and I think I may have found a trick to doing it. I won't know if it worked or was just coincidence until next turn. What I did was I doubleclicked my shortcut for the game, it hung up and I doubleclicked the short cut again while the hung up instance was still hung up. The second instance of the exe I launched went straight to the game with no hesitation or hang ups.
It may have been coincidence, but if your hanging up, its worth a shot
