Listen, D2R uses up to 8GB EACH. It might drop to something like 5gb in town, but it will spike at 8gb or close to per instance when you have spells cast around. D2R.exe doesn't show all of the memory use associated with the game, there are other processes that run when you launch the game. In total each instance of D2R will use close to 8GB.

That's the explanation i was waiting for, thanks.
I didn't know D2R used other processes than the ones listed on your screenshot.
I'll check my current RAM usage history, cause my current D2R install doesn't seem to go that high.

You might notice that even after you close b.net client, the exe starts running again when you launch a game, it is the home of Blizzard's warden, among other things. The details tab shows more processes, some of them you might see under services as well.

I still cannot get this to work

not sure how to find that specific handle to kill it. i can get a second bnet to popup but when i hit play theres no second instance being started

Is this legal?

not really since u directly alter gamefiles. Specifically the instance handler which is associated with the anti cheat software warden. You might get flagged and banned later. We might be all flagged already, who knows. Right now, they have enough problems to fix their servers so use at your own risk. I don't use this method anymore, because i wann play fullscreen with maximum settings and enjoy the graphics. Using a new gaming laptop for my second client with a kvm switch.

This worked very well. Easy to follow, thank you!!!

Yea think I’m just gonna do that aswell

Nice, flag and ban away
I would imagine things like this are a contributor to queue’ing, and anyone contributing to queue’ing can burn at the stake

Blizz: “we have hundreds of thousands online”

Waiting in queue right now. I hope all of you people get banned who are multi boxing.
