Could anyone link me to a working multi client?

I want to use my second account to stand around at the tp while I go about my business. It is acceptable according to this post:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Policy-3rd-Party-Programs-Multi-Boxing-Macros/first

Quoted here (2nd post, at the bottom):

Dual- or Multi-Boxing
You may use more than one account at the same time.
You may use more than one computer at the same time.
You must be actively playing on each account.
And as stated above, you may not program your keyboard to perform functions on more than one account at a time.

There is no “multi” client but you may be able to run two at the same time if you copy the folder to another location on the same computer.

I have no way to test this though.

This only works if you DO NOT save your login credentials between sessions.

But you can have GW2.exe and GW2.dat stored in a new set of folders and run the 2nd exe to ‘multibox’ on the same system.

Just tried to copy the dat and exe into a new folder and wasn’t able to get it to work. Any tips?

What happens for you? Do you have the UAC disabled in windows?

I run one and it opens up the client but when I run the copy it just pops up the first client

Edit: I have UAC on

That’s probably because it’s reading the registry entries. You might be able to make it work from a different partition (for example a D or E drive), but I’m not sure about that.

You could try letting the game fully load (go into the game), then minimize it and try the copied version.

If none of that works, you’ll need to run it on a second computer.

Oh lol.

Yeah I’m tired. If it’s reading the registry data it’s not gonna’ make a difference where the copy is.

I think this should work:

prerequisite sandboxie.

1. copy game in sandboxie to another location to avoid SBIE2102.
2. launch game in sandboxie as different user to avoid locked config file.

Its working, just two notes:
1. launch first client without sandboxie as different user, because it is problem to launch as different user in sandboxie.
2. launch second client in sandboxie as current user.
