Solved Help with multiboxing

Hey all,
I am fairly new to these servers, I can play on a single instance no problem but when I try to load the game for a 2nd instance it just says "cannot run more than 1 copy of d2 at a time"..

As far as I know there is a way to multibox, what am I doing wrong exactly?
Cheers

anyone? lol

 

It is likely you don't have all the files needed for multiboxing.
How did you get setup on this server? Was it an install from existing files, a fresh install from files here, etc?

There are a few stickied guides with screenshots, as well as a "portable" version that can be used to simplify the process further. I would double-check those instructions have been followed.
No special setup or procedure is needed to multibox if installed correctly.

Let us know if you have any further issues/questions.

 

run another window with are patch same one only need to do is run same one again

 

This worked, I had to manually delete the existing dll files and then replace them with the ones you directed me to. Am I able to join the same game with 2 characters? I tried and one of them always gets an unhandled exception and closes, although I can run in 2 separate games no problem

 

There are no issues with joining the same game instance with multiple separate characters. If you are receiving an error upon doing so, then you still have mismatching or missing client files. The link Gix provided doesn't have all the required .DLL you need, only a few he thought you were missing. I recommend either using the portable version as previously mentioned, or copying over all DLL's from it.

With the current client setup process, this is a frequent occurrence, so I wouldn't feel bad. Let us know if you have any questions.
