dual Gw.exe

Quite some time ago, there was a thread about running gw.exe 2 times on 1 system. Thanks to all the gw2 news, i cant seem to find it.

can someone please help me?

You need.

1. A computer capable of running two copies of guildwars
2. Two individual accounts for guildwars, preferably with the same campaigns if you plan on using both at the same place
3. A tool called gwx2
4. Not be scared of going into your computer's registry and playing around in there

As mentioned above, these are the steps to modifying your registry and second gw.exe

There is however an tool called gwx2 that will allow you to launch both copies of guildwars without switching registry files each before opening each guildwars, saving you some trouble.

Unfortunatly it seems quite hard to find

link to site
reason it' somehowhard to find, is because the maker also made a drunkard bot, wich is against the EULA

I think Gaile said something about he understands why people use a drunkard bot, and that no one will be banned for its use. Can't remember where. Not that it matters anyway.

She said it's less of a priority, you could still be banned for it.

at least its ok to use GwX2

Tx for the responses and GWx2 link, that was actually the one i was looking for

It's my understanding that in order to get GwX2 to work, you still need to edit your registry and second gw.exe file right?

Thats what I had done.

You DO NOT need to do anything to your registry to use GWx2.

Also, according to Gaile, GWx2 does NOT violate the EULA (I think she once mentioned using it herself) but ANET will not support it if you have any problems.

You dont need to do anything to use GwX2?

Do you not require changing the second gw.exe?

It woudnt work for me until I modified it. It would just give me the menu, input both gw.exe in different folders, press go. It would open the first client, then attempt to open the second client, notice that the gw.exe process was already running and then shut it down.

make a new folder in desktop - name gw2 or summin.

copy gw.exe from your gw file, paste into your gw2 folder in desktop

and run them both through gwx2

repeat this process each time there is a new build.
