Multiboxing Lotro

[diamond]

Would I be able to run 2 accounts on One PC of Lotro using Pwnboxer ?

Without knowing what your computer is, its really hard to say if you can run 1, 2 or 5 copies on it.

I know a lot of the boxing software programs used to run, but with the latest expansion do not at the moment. Not sure if PB is in this category or not. Maybe someone who uses PB and plays LotRO can answer for sure.

Thanks for reply, I didnt mean if my PC is good enough to run more than 1 client, I meant can I run multiple clients on one PC using Pwnboxer .

I couldnt get it to run two clients of Warhammer on one PC , was wondering if Pwnboxer can with Lotro , because if Pwnboxer is only good for WoW, then I will need to get a different multiboxing software as I think I wont be playing WoW anyomore.

With the current expansion for LotRO, IS Boxer runs multiple clients fine.
But you need to do a workabout.

One LotRO install.
Then copy the entire folder and paste elsewhere.
With more then one executable, you can run several copies with the one software.

I'd guess, this would be true for PB as well.
But I don't use PB, so cannot say for sure.

Pwnboxer is meant for any standard MMO type of game, not just WoW. Give it a try, it should work with LOTRO. If it doesn't, let me know, I'll tweak it to support it better

I will try a few things out, I cant get the two log in screens to appear, and I have fiddled about with it a little. I may and probably not doing it right, but will keep trying.

Try one folder per LotRO account.
On the isboxer forum, that's a work around for the Mirkwood Expansion.

Lotro is also my game of choice for now. Diamond, I would like to know if you were able to get PB to work with Lotro. I have created 2 folders and I can easily run two instances of Lotro at once using follow mode and target forwarding. I have the computer resources to run the game multiple times on one computer, but I would like a program to simplify things. I also run a couple of other computers side by side, and I run up to 4 accounts at once. It would be very nice to control them all at the same time with one mouse and one keyboard.

Sure thing will give feedback when I sort it out, I think the main problem is going to be the lack of macroing in Lotro. Im away for a few days but should be back by Wednesday so going to try then.

If you append the Turbine Launcher shortcut with "-usetdm", it will not check for updates, which means you can run multiple copies fine from a single directory.

You'll have to manually run the normal executable, without the "-usetdm" to patch the program.
