Exar_reborn Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 How do I do it? I know theres a few of you with dual characters so how can I dual log? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 You need Windows XP, and two windows accounts (I can't/don't want to go into the details). You load up SWG on one Windows account, then log to the other Windows account and log into SWG again. It works on XP because when you log out of an account it keeps all the programs running.

Jo Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 you dont even need windows xp technically. i did it without that method. but at the moment, i cant go into detail, as im on a laptop on my way home(in alabama) and ill be home tuesday morning or so, then ill post how to do it buddy. if you want to give it a shot, go to the official forums at http://www.starwarsgalaxies.com and in the tech support forums type "dual accounts on one pc" in the search, and you will get yourself some help See ya all soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Create a text flie using notepad in your swg directory. Normally, in programfiles/starwarsgalaxies/ Name it user.cfg Type these two lines in it: [swgClient] allowMultipleInstances=TRUE That's it... Then you can alt+tab out and start the game twice... I wouldn't recommend doing it though, as it can overload your processor if you haven't got a highly performing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 if your system meets at least my specs, i would say your safe 1.8ghz 768mb ddr ram radeon 9600 se 126mb ddr ram 56k modem i have run 2 accounts at once with minimum lag...that was in theed and mos eisley, and the krayt hunt i went on...that was because they were both loading the same crap at once, as they were at the same place. i have heard however, if you plan on doing fighting, pve or pvp, you should reboot and just boot up your combatant..but i did buff myself and then just logged of my second..did combat, and was fine. could be a bug, but who knows, good luck *counts the hours till he can see everyone again * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-=ReApEr=- Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Might need more ram for it to be fully stable, but that sounds fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 "Might" isn't the right word, "must" is. Atleast 1 gig total. Other than that it should be fine. Can be alittle choppy at times, especially if one is loading, but should work fine enough if only you bump up your ram considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
