Running 2 Instances
Have anyone got any idea how to run 2 instances of GuildWars? If so please let me know.
Going to experiment myself with this but should be possible from what I can gather with only 1 installed directory. |

Most games come with a little bit of code in there that checks to see if another instance of the same application is running, and if so, doesn't run it again. Its not a check on the name of the exe, it usually a hard-coded string, so the only way to do it the way you're suggesting is to hack the exe, find the string and change it.

Have a look at this:

There we go. Cheers for that other thread, gave me an idea that actually worked even if it is not exactly handy but does allow me to run 2 instances on 1 PC.
Yes, knew I would need 2 accounts/copies of the game otherwise I wouldnt have asked  I'm not sure if it's against the EULA to run 2 instances on 1 PC even with 2 accounts. If a MOD allows it I will explain how it can be done. Hacking of the game is not involved. |

Um, why would you need to log in two instances anyway? You can just use storage if you need to transfer items.
