Unable to launch more then one instance.

[F9thRet]

I've tried a few things I've read here.

Some history,

Win7 ult. 64 bit
4 gig ram

Went in and set up three different files

ie. Toon 1 --- LOTRO/Launcher
Toon2 --- LOTRO /launcher 2
Toon3 --- LOTRO lanucher 3

Set the following in the .ini file for LOTRO

[Net]
ComputeUniquePort=False

It will load the first account ok, moves it to the top left of 2nd monitor, but when it tries to launch the second account, It comes back with an account is already running. Any ideas Lax ole buddy ole pal?

Make sure the launcher is set to close after launching the game. If you see a LOTRO ring icon in the system tray, ISBoxer cannot launch the next one.

[F9thRet]

Ok, how do I do that? I don't see an option anywhere man.

FFS had a full tutrorial written up for how to do this, but accidendtly pressed the back button on my mouse and lost it all.
You need to set up all the info with Innerspace properly, like setting up profile for each TurbineLauncher.exe

I have to head to work wont be able to help you for like another 12hrs, So if someone(Lax lol) can explain how to set up the Innerspace profiles or send you to a link that does, sry mate.

[F9thRet]

LOL, I have done that many times myself Chubbz. I'm in no big hurry guys, And thanks again.

I'm just seriously thinking about going LOTRO instead of WOW for awhile. Have some burnout with WOW.

Plus, I found the game pretty cheap online. Get it before it goes free to play etc.

Just asking real quick, what Multiboxing Software are you using. I am currently using ISBoxer + Innerspace, so anything do do with those 2 and i can help, anything else i wouldnt have a clue sorry.

Yeah I love Lotro lol, tried WoW for like 1hr and couldnt handle the shit as Cartoony Kid Graphics. Plus Lotro has a very mature community.

Same thing. ISboxer and Innerspace.

I tried Key clone, and could add each instance in, But could only get it working with separate accounts on separate PC's. For some reason, it wouldn't pass keys to windows on the same PC.

I also gave Hotkey a try, but same thing. Even after renaming the windows, I couldn't get key presses to pass, However, I think I know the reason for that. I just really dislike making my own scripts, and I believe something changed between my old hotkey, the new one, and MOJO.

Don't get me wrong though buddy. I still love WOW, it's just burnout is all. 5 accounts, almost all toons maxed out ie .At least 70, with 4 toons being the exception, I just can't get the will power to level up the last ones, Let alone, I have them across multiple realms now.

LotRO only accepts input if it's window is the "active" window, which is why InnerSpace works and some of the other programs don't (like HKN and Keyclone).

As to your original problem, I have 6 separate installs of LotRO on my computer so I can't be of much help. I'd be interested to try and find that option Lax mentioned to see if I can get all 6 toons to launch from one folder, would help save some drive space. I'm at work right now, but when I get home I'll play around and see what I can come up with.

[Lax]

Creo discovered the option for launching from the same folder, you just add -usetdm to the parameters by editing the Game Configuration in Inner Space, and of course you cant be using the turbine download manager.

I guess the option I was mentioning before about the launcher closing isn't exactly worded like I said. In the options screen in the LOTRO launcher, under Updates you need to make sure that "Retrieve updates automatically" is unchecked, and under Advanced you need to make sure "Show the launcher in the system tray" is unchecked.

Thanks Lax, i'll give it a shot this morning

Stephen

[F9thRet]

Ok for the life of me, I can not figure this out.

Do I need to do the Add game again, and then add -usetdmat the end of the file extension?

I did get the launcher to shut down after log in though.

Stephen

[Lax]

No, to add -usetdm you right click on IS, select Configuration. Click the Game Configuration tab, select the Game from the first drop-down, and the Game Profile from the next drop-down. The field called Parameters needs to be -usetdm. If the Main Executable says TurbineLauncher.exe, you can also change it to TurbineInvoker.exe. I'm told that may work better when using -usetdm.

[F9thRet]

Thanks again Boss, your the best!
