Having Troubles multiclienting lately?

I use to could multiclient without having to use exe, now its a must otherwise going through the patcher just brings up the current client. when i tried exe they stay up for 1-2 minutes and 1 crashes. this is constantly now, i had no trouble multiclienting 4 or 5 patches ago =[

    Yep, that's a known issue. Was an unintended change I believe, something related to a previous patch...

    I guess one could only wait for it to be unintentionally fixed

    Open the first client using the launcher. Then use the elementclient.exe to open up a second client. This should eliminate some of your problems.

    This works for a good 10 min, but just about like running 2 exe or patcher with exe they crash

    Its possible this just has to do with the lot of lag lately, like an unusual amount.

    Crash or disconnect?

    I been disconnecting a lot lately, and I can't seem to troubleshoot whether it is my ISP or the game.


    As for crash, I rarely crash in the game except during a long TW.

    This works fine for me... on my laptop. So when I'm away, I have no problems. XD

    My desktop computer promptly refuses to open more than one client D:. Like this morning I didn't wanna bother booting my laptop to run 2 clients, and I thought "I'm just gonna load the elementclient.exe!". But it didn't work DX. Instead it just waits about 10 seconds and I get the typical WinXP critical error chime.

    I might have crashed 3 or 4 times in the couple months I've had this game, nothing major for me. I've had to force-close it a few times due to a couple d/c's that would totally *REFUSE* to fully d/c, and this gets somewhat annoying in instances...

    Weird, I have no issues at all running two clients for the entire day. Haven't had a crash in weeks.

    Using WinXP 64bit here, if that matters.

    I only use the patcher when there's maintenance, other than that I always use the elementclient.exe as it is much quicker to open than the silly patcher.

    It's not crash its a dc. And the only way I've found to fix it is to put both accounts in a squad. When my catshop is squadded with my main neither one dcs. But as soon as my main leaves squad to do bh or something my catshop dcs within 30 seconds. And you have to use elementclient.exe or it won't work period.

    I got the same problem, the thing is my game crash on launcher and can't open any element clients too.

    I verify the files, uninstall the game and install it back and still have the same problem. anything else I can do ? because the game not running at all

    With me im pretty sure its a crash, it doesn't even give me disconnect pop up thing. it just closes its self.
    4-5 patches ago it was fine. though i can see it might just be lag. im getting 15k+ ping just in areas above etherblade.

    i tried this

    Launcher+ E client
    E client + E client
    Patcher+ E client
    on E client i tried both , the actual file and a short cut on desktop both did not work. game keep crashing when i put my info on 2nd client

    It's only the exe client that is crashing for me

    My friends can run 2 patcher like i use to be able to , still.
    now if i try to open another patcher / launcher, after clicking start it just brings up the current client.

    Well, you can get to the login screen from what I'm guessing.

    I can't.

    1 - I boot the 1st client: Launcher
    2 - Boot the 2nd client: elementclient.exe
    3 - Computer tries to load elementclient.exe for a good 3-5 seconds
    4 - About 0.3 second of a black windowed version of the PWI client (got that twice)
    5 - Critical error + blank message popup (got that twice)

    So in the end, I'm completely unable to load a second instance of elementclient.exe at all. I've checked all my processes, everything is fine.

    On my laptop, no problems. elementclient.exe loads just fine o.o. The only major difference is that my laptop runs on Win7 and my desktop runs WinXP.

    Did u try to run elementclient.exe with administrator account? (right click with mouse, run as admin). It works for me.
    i have same issue since EG update, that i cant run any second muticlient through same account, but it works fine for me if i run it with admin one.
    If i m trolling and spamming on forum...then i cant sleep and need a good laugh
