The Guide for GWx2

Hah, now I can see what was going on. Instead of pointing gwx2 to the second copy of gw.exe, you were pointing it towards gwx2!

Glad you got it sorted

Thanks it is not only that I got my imageshack account straighted out.

I think this got nerfed.

I ran them the first time perfectly, they both opened, but that was like a month ago. Now I ran both clients and updated. Then only 1 window opened. After, I added -setup and then re-did everything. 2 clients open, but the other closes.

Which version of GWx2 you using?

You must open one first by itself after updating to minimize it to windows. After that then u should be fine to run both.

4.1. I already minimized it to window before running both.

Have you re-copied gw.exe from the original directory to the copy? That needs doing after every update.

Thanks Snog, that worked well.

I PM'd manitoba to put that in the OP - there's also a thread somewhere where someone wrote a batch file to automate the process - saves precious seconds ^^

is this program safe to use still, like will it steal my password or something? is the website provided as the begging post still safe? ty

It's safe.

I'm trying to figure out what is it I need to do after the update..... I'm reading... but it ain't clicking



Nevermind......... got it

I did it updated that part.

BTW, I found out you don't need to (well I didn't) minimize the screen before running GWx2.

Technically, no you don't. It's very flaky though - the average computer may well struggle running two full-screen apps at once.

Mine can

Yeap and thats why its recomended to do that.

Just like for some odd reason I dont have to copy my GW.exe to my second folder it does it automatically with out using anything else but GWx2_4.1.

It just depends on the waves of fate lol.

I really wish we could get hold of the programmer to congratulate him/her.

...and ask for improvements

I heard that this program used to have a password sniffer. Is that true?

Nope not true at all if you got it from the main site only. The other site that is up there is my file site and you can bet its safe also.

anyone having trouble with this program after the big update this weekend? A buddy and I haven't been able to use it even after doing all the tricks after an update. Just seeing if the problem is with mine or with the program/GW.

Thanks

Are there any comp reqs for running 2 GWs?

A recent, at least DX9.0c compatible graphics card and as much memory as possible. 2GB as a bare minimum, I'd say. Could probably get away with less if you cripple GW - -noshaders -dx8 -nosound.
