Does anyone know how to run BF2 and BF2142 at the same time on the same computer? Or 2 copy's of BF2 on the same computer at the same time. With out getting kicked by punkbuster.

Does anyone know why you would want to do that in the first place.

No, you can't, or at least that's what i think.

I think you can run BF2 and BF2142 at the same time as long as your computer can handle it.  You can't play two copies of BF2 on the same computer at the same time for two reasons: same CD key and same IP address (assuming you're joining the same server).

Run a virtual computer withing your existing operating system, install the game on to that virtual PC, just make sure it has a different product key.

Get an old computer, put Linux on it(A server version, no GUI)

Download/install both BF2 and 2142 servers on it,

apt-get install screen

screen

<launch BF2 server>

CTRL A-D

Screen

<launch BF2142 Server>

CTRL A-D


That'll let you run both on the same box, PM me if you need clarification on any specific aspect.




No, this can't be done in Windows, and you wouldn't want to.

Just alt+tab out of one and open the other I think...

Can't imagine why though

As 2142 is just a BF2 mod it just might be necessary to add "+multi 1" to the target line in the properties of your shortcuts.

That.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

And if you want to have two instances of BF2, add this

Code:

+multi
to your shortcut to allow starting multiple BF2 instances.
