Playing 2 instances of GTA SA

[ARMax]

is it possible to run 2 instances of GTA_SA. EG Im running one in multiplayer, and one in singleplayer.

 

So there will be 2 SA's runnin...

[YeTi]

I believe so. You can have more than one copy of the game installed at any one time so i'd assume if you're computer was powerful enough you could run multiple copies at once.

Yes, it is possible. Did you not try doing it first?

[Luke]

Hmm, do you mean two simultaneously running? If so, I don't think DirectX would take too nicely to that.

 

If you just mean two installed, then that's fine, as others said.

rofl, i have 7 installs of GTA on my comp , i got 2gig ram so i think if its possible i would handle the extra weight...

 

so... it is?

 

[yes, 2 RUNNING]

[INT 03]

In order to start a second instance of GTA you have to patch it at first since GTA checks if there's already an instance running and switches to it if so.

 

A way around this is to use XPs fast-user-switch. Log in as user A and launch GTA. Then switch to user B and you can launch another instance of GTA.

 

 

if you're computer was powerful enough you could run multiple copies at once.

 

If GTA looses focus it freezes so it takes no CPU power.

 

As for ram 1 GB is already more than enough to run 2 instances of SA.
