Running 2 clients on 1 pc

Hi guys,

I finally followed the example of numerous daoc players and got myself a second account since deciding I wanted to level a BM to 50 and go rvr. Since I only have one pc I have to run both clients on 1 pc which causes a few ld's of the buffbot. Is there anything I can do to try to limit the amount of ld's?

Cheers,

Martin. :cowgif:

swap to the accounts every so often is the best way i found :(

might be worth thinking about investing in another computer though :p sooo much better ;)

more ram, turn everything down completely, run at the minimum resolution of 800x600, thats if its random ld's.

Inactive characters do time out after a while, about 45 mins or so - i'm sure somebody knows the exact time.

stick bb in /clientsleep background.

It always seems a bit dodgy keeping stick, even on a meaty machine.

Anyone else got any info?

Well I know what to do now. Believe it or not but someone on FH helped me out. :cowgif:
All u need to do is start 1 client then press alt + ctrl + del and in taskmanager put the priority of the game.dll to low. Do the same with the second gameclient then put the buffbot on clientsleep and tadaa not one linkdeath all night.
Thanks for the help though; it's highly appreciated.
Cheers,

Martin.

Can your bb keep stick?

I haven't tested that but I have been told that if you put the game.dll file of the bb account on normal priority this should work just fine.
I will test it tonight.

may be worth keeping bot on perma run as well against a keep walla or something. has worked for me before better than f6 anyways.
