Posted: Sun Sep 20, 2009 9:27 pm Post subject: Runnig 2 copies of Guild Wars on One computer |
|
|
Well people ask how to run 2 accounts on one PC, the program I use is GWx2. Download from here
http://www.gwx2.co.nr/
Now I place the program in the GW folder then make another folder below that called GW2.
First thing you need is a batch file to image Guild wars (basically download the entire guild wars image fil, usually guild wars will only download data if you use it). So create a new file, I call it image.bat. Inside the file write
gw -image
thats it. Right run that and Guild Wars will download all the data. Once done it will not run guildwars. Once the GW screen is gone copy the gw.exe and gw.dat, I copy gw.tmp as well, but don't think that is necessary. Copy those files into the gw2 folder.
OK run the GWx2 program, point it at the two gw.exe in the main folder and the GW2 folder. And all is good!
Until an update... then it will only load one copy, the second fails. At this point run the image.bat file again, once complete move the gw.exe, .dat and .tmp file into a temp folder (just create a folder called temp). Now move the files out of the GW2 folder into the main folder, run the image.bat again, this will update the copy. Now move those back to GW2 and finally move the temp files back into the main folder. All should run again...
Well thats all complicated, bezs says he has a better method, hopefully he will post here and let me know, this update is a pain... _________________ Taffy Tois - "Taffy Tois is using Immolate"

| Try the 32bit one, I'm guessing your version of Windows won't be 64bit. |

Yeah unless you installed Windows yourself (in which case you would know) you will more than likely need the 32bit version. _________________ Taffy Tois - "Taffy Tois is using Immolate"
