I don't think you can run 2 instances of the game, never really tried though. But the idea is you have one toon for HC and one for reg, trying to circumvent that may not be well received by people because it is very open to exploitation. Maybe try it and post results, then devs can move to do something about it if it is :)

there was another comunity where this actually became IP bannable on thier Wasteland and dayZero servers because a few people who owned several PCs or copys of the game would basicly put one in a sniper position then log to lobby, switch to another to loot and if killed flip back to kill thier attacker while they were being looted. in order to have 2 characters tho, you need 2 seperate GUIDs in the mod however- and im pretty sure this is the same for the SA.

The lengths some people go to for dayz gear lol

 

I would support it being an offence with repercussions in the SA, just like those mods you mentioned :)

I can see both sides of the coin tho... many MMOs (Eve online for example) openly allow multi-boxing. heck they even allow ISboxer which lets me run like 12 synched clients, making 1 person have the same capabilitys as a whole fleet, and in some regards where focused fire is required your even more effective because all 12 of those clients fire at exactly the same moment in time, at the right target every time, with no human reaction time delays or time spent comunicating target order to fleet members.

 

Personally its a hard issue for me to take either side. you own 2 computers capable of running it and 2 game copies. whats to say you shouldnt be allowed to use both? you paid for both. also this opens up the isse of how to determine if its the same person when multiple PCs are involved. EG. my wife also plays dayZ and somethimes we play together- should this also be disallowed because a hand ful of cases it may be the same individual using both PCs?

Well if you bought 2 copies then I guess its fine. One person with 2 copies cant physicly play both at once but can still do that sniper trick you said. Maybe a new type of login timer based on IP or something. If another account from the same IP attempts o join the same server they get a timer just like a hopper would.

 

As I read the OP he was trying to open another instance of the one game copy and view server list with that (may be comprehension fail though lol) Guess its one more headache for the devs to figure out :)

single instance on a single PC should be fairly easy to do unless the person in question is like some really dedicated hacker running the second in a virtual machine or some madness like that. i dont think you could ever do anything with multiple PCs tho- because like i explained if you have people in the same house playing together, thats not cool. especially when they both paid for thier PC and copies.

well it isnt about gear or having 2 characters in game.

 

i just want to play one character and look/update at the server list on another instance of the game.

Could I ask why? just if your thinking what I think your thinking you can just do it in game ;)

 

Would a third party server list serve your purpose?
