The New NCSoft Launcher

Okay... So I dual box occassionally, running both my accounts on the same computer at the same time.

This was never a problem with the old Launcher but the new NCSoft Launcher won't let me open two instances of the game at the same time.

I've tried the standard "Click the Play Game twice" it just takes me back to the game in progress. I have tried clicking the City of icon in my start menu... takes me back to the original game. I have tried "create a desk top shortcut" from the Launcher and then clicking the short cut... no dice.

Has anyone figured out how to get the Launcher to dual box yet or is this something I need to take to tech support?


My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

File -> Settings
Advanced
Check "Allow multiple instances" (or something like that)

See? Now THIS is how to wake up in the morning after going to bed with a nagging problem.

Thanks a lot!

I... I'm lost. I opened this up seeing it was a Steelclaw thread, thinking it was going to be humorous. I feel let down somehow, and I can't pinpoint how exactly.

There wasn't a list.

:looks at Steelclaw nervously:

Not that that is a bad thing, mind you.


There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"

Darn you people anyway... FINE!

* Dev Launcher... Sends a random Dev's office chair to "Launch Mode"; but you have to pay extra for the web cam hook up so you can see their heads lodged in the drop ceiling with their legs kicking.

* And With Every Install Of The NCSOFT Launcher... A FREE DRINK HOLDER!!... clicking this will eject your CD tray.

* Can't Get Up... Task Force... Clicking on this option will send an NCSoft employee to fetch your drink... get you a sandwich... or hold the bottle while you relieve yourself.

* There's No One On My Freakin' Server!!... Click this option and a team of Paragon Studios employees will jump on their computers to team with you on whatever mission you desire.

* Self-Serving Button... This click will export all the data regarding your character's activities and achievements to specified fields in all your spreadsheets, there by eliminating the need for constant data entry... ... what?

* I Have No Friends Option: ON Toggling this to the ON position will set up a bind to send you Friend chat messages at random while you play. Radio buttons will further let you customize your imaginary friend's commentary to be "Friendly", "Competitive", "Snarky" as well as several other options.

* For the Love Of God SHUT UP!! Choosing this option will direct feed your game play to one of our "celebrity" gamers. Yes, you can have your game play critiqued by such people as Yahtzee, Steelclaw or even Charlie Sheen! (Okay, so Charlie's not really a gamer... he needs the work...)

I'm sure you would get a lot of use from that button.
