Renderer Creation Failure when running two accounts on the same machine

[preladon]

Don't know if this helps anyone, but I've found an odd behaviour when trying to run two accounts from the same machine in windowed mode.

(unless of course this is already known and I'm just not up to speed).

I found that the first account would run fine in Windowed mode, but when I tried to run the second account (also in Widowed mode) I'd get a renderer creation failure. At this point it when then impossible to try again, because the machine thought I had two instances of SI running and I had to reboot my machine to fix this.

I then tried changing back to full screen mode, and found that I could load two instances without any problems.

Hope that helps someone.

No need to reboot as I found out the other day. Shut both instances down compleatly then get both accounts to the login page (with the servers all showing) Then just click play on both - should have no render error and no instances error either. It's a quick fix as it'll still report an instance error if render error happens again.
