Hi, Took advantage of a 2 week free offer to play daoc after 2 year absence. I have 2 accounts and used to be able to run them both at same time. I installed the first client from disk to c:\mythic\camelot and the second to c:\mythic2\camelot and they patched to 1.70 with no probs. I havent bothered putting si on as i will only be playing in the bg's.

They both work fine alone however when i try and start up the second client i get a box saying daoc is already running. If its not then reboot.

Can anyone tell me where im going wrong please?

usualy that error occurs if you already had both running and 1 went linkdead. Doesnt always happen but most of the time the pc cant tell if the game was shut down or not.

Solution = Reboot

But if this happens when you havent had 2nd acc up and running, then im clueless. Sorry!

Afaik Classic doesn't support dual-logging so you have to install SI(or ToA).

install the super classic client (which is the SI client anyway) its got gaymo gfx of TOA as well so unless youv got a pretty shit hot machine its gonna b tough, alternatively, if your a half decent coder/debugger you could try and hack a version of daox to the versio 1.70 :D

Actully the solution to this is just exit your main game client...it then resets them both and you can log in two accounts again. :D
