Possible to have 2 GuildWars Clients running? - Guild Wars Forums

Mourne · Dec 14, 2006, 06:11 AM // 06:11

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to use my brothers account at the same time as mine. Meaning, can I run two clients at the same time?

If anyone knows about this, that would be greatly appreciated.

The only way is to do a dual monitor hookup and run XP online or similar. Not something i recommend unless you have a spare gig or two lying around.

I remember seeing a thread on this a while ago, not sure where or how long ago - but there is a way to do it. You have to have a program or something, and copy the files into a folder called guild wars 2...Not sure where it goes. Thats all i remember about it.

Yeah I was actually about to say I just found it, took me like 10 different searches lol. I stopped after 5 searches to ask this, just needed a couple more lol.

Ah, two ways then. For my way...id think it would be more fun, since with the other it wouldnt be full screen.

I can vouch for the hex edit method, been using it for a long time now and no real problems, although some user errors occationaly

Yes it is possible, but i wouldnt recommend doing it unless you have a decent comp.

valtonray · Dec 15, 2006, 12:54 AM // 00:54

although you'll need a moderatly powerful computer you can run multiple instances of GW. and no you don't have to have a dual moniter setup... you do have to have two instances of the game installed on your computer though as well as 2 accounts. i wouldn't even attempt doing it unless you have at least a gig of ram and a high speed internet connection, it'll you'll get low FPS but it'll work if your just transferring items or gold from one acct to another. for task like lvling or running a spare acct i'd have at least 2 gigs of ram and use one of your older videocards to run a spare moniter.

Dont need an uber PC, I can run 2 clients on my AMD xp3200+ with no issues at all

This is the program I use to run two clients.

Easy to set up and use. No need to hex edit. Just run the program.

I remember Senator Tom posting a thread where he 'solo' farmed the UW using his two accounts. Very impressive.

Never said you needed an uber PC, i never actually said you needed anything.

But i recommended that you use a decent comp.

Uber does not = decent.
