Run two replays simultaneously

Postby StormLantern » 18 Jan 2020, 21:10

Is there a way to do this? I want to learn more by comparing my replays live with replays of others..

Multiple instances of supcom can be played at the same time. I couldn't find the command needed to allow this, but it can.

why?

Downlord's the one who found it and that file belongs to FA not FAF and is not really used by FAF (appart to know which mods you turned on).

The python cliënt is a different name for the FAFforever lobby correct? In that case I tried this already. Like you mentioned, I found this topic as well and tried to use that code, but all it did was start two instances of Supcom, but always playing the same replay, even when I started two different ones. I hope that makes sense.

Downlords client just gives the error that there is already an instance of supcom running

after testing I realized that downlord's client actually removes that line before you start an instance of FA.

Also, I found that any alteration I make in the prefs file reverts after one start up of the game

Ah exactly, FAForever does the same thing. I presume that FAForever is the Python client?
