Can I run Darkfall twice on one machine ? : DFO - General / Guide - Discussions

As thread title says ...

Yes, if you have 2 accounts

I got 2 accounts but cant get 2 games up and running, allways get patching failed when i try to start the second client. Run vista

w8 till first acc is logged in then start the second lobby.

Doesent work, tryed atleast 20 times, waited 1 min, 10 min and hours. Still get the "Patching Failed"

You'll need a damn good computer, but you can run one on your original OS and another on a Virtual Machines with softwares like VMWare.

can run 3acc without problems so... :/

The thing is i have a very good computer, tryed everything but still get patching failed. So must be something just specific with the computer i have.

right click darkfall icon, run as administrator for the second account, i know it's works i'm doing it now.

Yeah you can use VMware but it'd slow you down way too much.

I've been running 5 clients just fine on vista, just run them as administrator and its all good.

no problem 3+. Video card need to have a lot of memory

Hey man, I'm in the same boat as you. It's weird that so many people can dual account and not have any problems, but we still gat tht damn 'patch failed, will restart shortly' garbage.

The machine I'm on easily plays my EU adn NA accounts at the same time, but when I try to play 2 EU accounts the trouble begins.

Waiting for the lobby process to stop (fully logged in), running as admin, etc has not effect....

Anyone else have any suggestions for this?

BTW, im on Vista 64, quad, 8gig mem

with windows xp u can run as many accounts as your machine can handle,but for vista run the1st account in normal mode and the 2nd account as administrator,ive not actually done this but heard alotof guild mates talking about it,its worth giving it a try.

I run both as admin on Vista. Something to keep in mind with the former suggestion is that if you don't run all DF clients and your Vent client as admin, you'll have issues with Vent not working until you tab over to it.

Also a good idea is to copy/install DF on your secondary drive. This way both drives are working, one for each client, putting less stress on your primary.
