Hope it helps - a few methods to choose from.

Can you play 4 instances using parsec on desktop/server streaming to laptop ?

Opening two battle net apps with two seperate accounts with beta access doesn't work. (says already playing for both as soon as one is opened.)

Sandboxie doesn't work with the beta. Or at least I can't get it to work.

VM would work of course, but isn't ideal.

Anyone know of a way to do this without using a VM?


ok this is super annoying and im trying to figure out a better way-

1. Get the first user to the "play" button screen on bnet launcher. Make sure the game path is correct.
2. Switch to 2nd user and change game path to 2nd game directory. The play button will say "update", do not click.
3. Go to first user and click play...
4. Go to 2nd user and click update. Then click play.
5. This works its just a lot of switching between users...

Anyone know how to save passwords in windows 10 so we dont have to type it everytime we switch user? I'm still struggling to get the RDP wrapper thing to work where I dont have to switch users.
Alternatively, does anyone know how to stop bnet launcher auto syncing with the bnet launcher of the other user? It's a different directory, and 2 different users logged into 2 different bnet launchers but their launch path still syns... annoying

I did this and it works.. My alt acct is kind of lag'y But I haven't used the graphic's balancer software thing.
I think it would be great to use a low performance super battery laptop with parsec streaming from server.. I'll have to try this after getting a laptop. I'm hoping for 3 to 4 instances.

I ended up using a laptop hooked up to my second screen and mousewithoutborders to control it seamlessly. I had a lot of trouble getting it running well in a VM, even with proper passthrough etc

How did u get all 4 to fit on 1 monitor ? Can enhanced session be re enabled or does it mess up the graphics partitioning. I don't see any difference wen I re cheek it. Or did you just use the loom lvl ?

where/how does 'pureee PC power' become relative to multiboxing?

p.s. am multiboxing with a 2011 comp [specs: 7800 Radeon and i7 3930k]

So....

VM for me is too complicated. I tried to do it as follows:

I installed battle.net and a different folder for D2R on 2 different windows users

If you open Bnet on each one and directly run d2r.exe from each folder, it works fine. You don't have the Waypoint problem
The problem is to keep changing users to be able to operate each one. the ideal would be one window next to the other.

There is an option in Windows which is you run an .exe by pressing shift and choosing "run as another user". But when you do this logged in, it opens the window already running
