Sounds interesting. I personnaly use the process explorer method.

Can other people confirm that code is safe from an IT perspective?




Yes, this is safe. The script just does what you do in process explorer. Finds D2r.exe, looks for the "Check for other instances" handle, and kills it. Source : IT Professional, I use Powershell almost every day.

Launching D2R.exe with your account and realm parameters is what allows you to launch multiple instances from the same folder. The Launcher is the reason for needing multiple folders.

The only real "unsafe" thing about setting it up this way is that you are saving your password in plain text on your PC. If anyone had access to your PC and knew what they were looking for they could get your credentials.

Ever since a recent Windows 11 patch a few months back, killing the handle via handle64 doesn't work consistently anymore - often comes back with "invalid handle" error.

I notice that whenever that happened, for some reason opening process explorer did something to allow handle64 to close it programmatically.

So I modified that code for snippet to check for the "invalid handle" error, and launches process explorer if so.


You need to install updated process explorer. My problem was running an old version of process explorer. Got the same error, invalid handle.
