Since I am reluctant to create new windows accounts and use that workaround, or use any other sandbox environment, I decided to look at the locking mechanism in place and try to create a workaround/fix for that.
No virtualisation or anything fancy happening in my unlocker, just detecting the launch of a new E&B client and then attempting the remove the lock for the running client process. My tool does NOT alter the client itself in any way.
Well, the Net7MultiClientUnlocker tool works best if no net7proxy processes are already running. So in case of closing all your clients and booting them up again, it helps to first shut any lingering net7proxy process down.
Like I said, every now and then there will be a nag screen that slips through (might find a solution for this in the near future but not promising anything) but all in all I have had great results using this method.
Please note that the Net 7 Staff did not create this tool and if you download it and anything goes wrong we are not responsible for any issues. I have no doubt the OP has tested it to work properly, but use at your own risk.
The "Already Running" nag has been the bane of my existence while playing, but the problem is not usually at startup. I can, most times, just start 3 or 4 clients at the same time, letting the sizzle run as I start the next one, and rarely get the Nag. The problem I have most times is a gate/dock crash and have to restart one of the clients. THEN is when I get the damn nag.
However im getting a problem, as soon as i log in my second account, the first logged in one stops working, and if i watch the net7proxy icons in the taskbar, i can see that the second client is using the same one as the first, instead of using the newly started net7proxy.
Hmm, that IS strange, especially since my tool does nothing to the launcher or the client. So that process should be exactly the same as without the tool. I can start 6 clients with 6 game accounts easily this way, and they all have their own net7proxy process.
So wish I could help, but the problem you are facing is not something being caused by my tool. And I have no experience with the situation you describe so cant give you any helpful advice about it either.
Well you have the right to have your own opinion and if you don't want to multibox, that's fine. But I think its naive to think my tool is the cause of (more) people multiboxing. Everyone that wanted to multibox "properly" was already using one of the 2 well known strategies, being more windows accounts or sandboxie. I just wanted those people to have another option which is much more lightweight and very easy to use. That's it.
I even multiboxed 6 toons on the live server (Galileo) regularly, and most of that was just for doing tours on my own. I bought buddy codes for that, giving skill points to my main and having 5 noob accounts for creating tour toons.
So while I agree this is an mmo, that will not stop certain ppl from wanting to be able to multibox. And with or without this tool, there will always be ppl that want to be able to multibox. Every mmo has/sees this.
well this explains the horrid lag as of late... I have no issue with boxing but put a cap on it please... 3 chars per ip? i know that other emu's like shards of dalaya have a 2 box cap in place but make exceptions if the users proves they are in a special case (wife/kid/brother/dog plays as well in the same house or are on a collage campus and another person is around them that plays.)
Edit: I thought my copy had gotten corrupted when all I needed was a reboot. Since the link is actually dead (as far as I know, or at least for me) I've mirrored it on my google drive. Point your mousey-thing this way for multiboxing goodness.
Pretty much anything produced in the last five years should be able to run multiple accounts. The only computers I've had problems with are 8 year old computers with integrated graphics. I could even run multiple accounts back in 2003 in original live. My computer back then was built for gaming, so it had some horsepower, but it was in no way top of the line.
I have a problem running multi client unlocker on one of my computers. I have W7 and a Vista machice I run the game on, It works fine on the W7 but on my Vista pc it comes up in the window box and says "Start Monitering Earth & Beyond Client Launches" but dosn't detect the game when I run E&B. I have it set to Admin.
