Tutorial: Dual Guild Wars Clients

[JustinTyme55555]

Can you make a tutorial of what to do after an update? Or do I just have to do everything all over again?

[arnohofman]

I can't make .bat files. I'm from belgium dunno

[youkosow]

For those on windows 7 or maybe other 64bit machines, your ArenaNet folder is under Software-> Wow6432Node

[wogheliwogheli]

how do i create another hard drive?

[djuanOD]

really appreciate the tutorial man, it helped me out alot. it's sad that the NCSoft launcher does not do this for you automatically, but i guess it's because GW is such an older game compared to Aion and the other NCSoft titles.

anyway, thanks again.

"not enough rights to put it in there"

eventho im admin ?

[StickyNoodIe]

i love you so hard

[xXShakeyGunsXx]

very nice!

[groyHD]

Running 2 guild wars clients has always been a mystery to me. Thank you for finally allowing me to do this.

[Abbey1155]

so under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE I don't have an arena net folder. I'm running Windows 7. Can you please help?

[Godmaster1]

damn great tutorial ever!!! can u upload it some where so i can dl it and save it xD incase they delete lol

[thenurr]

@Godmaster1

Go to google and look up youtube downloader :) You can download anything from youtube ^_^

[frankencubz]

hey man, great video, it helped a lot.

after there is a new build on GW, both accounts cant play simultaneously anymore.

Is there a quicker way to make them work together at the same time again or do i have to delete the GW2 folder and redo everything again from the scratch?

i tried to change the registry file but it didnt seem to be enough :S

thanks in advance

[VulcanSpirit]

@frankencubz all u have to do is redo the process with replacing guild wars with Guil3 W4rs using the XVi32 program on ur GW2.exe file

its easy and fast

[UberDeathTurtle]

How do you get 4 hard disk drives up there like that? I only have two, and it won't let me paste it in the other one :(

[contrivednature]

@UberDeathTurtle You have to partition your Hard drives.

[xmrwaffles2]

thanks man works perfectly and btw guys this isn't against the eula so arena net will not patch it ever and they are fully aware of the fact that this does exist.

[CyborgZav]

i cant seem to get the XVi to save the replacement. any help?

[999madmaxx]

ok iam geting error when i try 2 open my gw2 from the xvi32 what i doing wrong

[itsmegiancarlo]

It worked first day for me, but the next day it loaded an update then it stopped working.

[contrivednature]

@itsmegiancarlo YOu have to redo the process after an update (mainly just the hex edit part)

[s293pqrn]

I don't have the "Area net" in Regnet> H-Key local machine> Software

[InsTiinkz11]

hey reckon u can help me?

i tryed it once stuffed up at the batch file saving on gw, the original and i started over and now it wont let me save it when i try save it in the hex editor thing, im confused now.

[contrivednature]

@1CCN I don't know, sorry.

[InsTiinkz11]

So is this like if u press up on one account both accounts do it?

and can u get banned for it?

please reply

[contrivednature]

@InsTiinkz11 No the clients run separate of each other, and you cannot be banned for this.

[Legendaryplaya]

Why can't I save my DAT file? I can save the rest but not that one.

[zeffy00]

thanks alot, great explaining :)

[dadonmagicone]

still works for me thx :)

[contrivednature]

I plan on remaking this video in HD soon.

[SinGuides]

This is what it said when I tried to save it:

Cannot Create the C:\Guild Wars\Gw2.reg file.

Make Sure that the Path and File name are correct.

PLEASE HELP!!!

[Bommer129]

Thanks so much for the help man!

[thefallenmonk]

[chrisrawrrrr]

[tzs00]

In hex editor when i go to save i get " Error writing gw2.exe Error 5 File Access Denied" Do you know whats up with that man??

[LaserFan123]

[Bogus0Name]

Wen i laucnh, it just shows the batch file...

[couchtater7]

NVM THAT COMMENT LOL

sorry, caps

I cant create batch files or save my reg file.

[couchtater7]

nvm that last comment, but where do you get REG EDIT? :)

[couchtater7]

I try to replace it, and then save, and it says

"error writing. Gw2.exe.exe Error 5 File access denied."

[kingtoastybread]

it says it cannot create the c:/program files/guild wars/gw2.bat file. make sure that thepathand file name are correct, how do fix this?

[SinGuides]

@kingtoastybread did you get an answer yet?

[Vraccas5]

What did he say at 2:30, i tryed it very often, but i couldn't understand him.

[couchtater7]

replace all

[1234x5678x]

Hey great video, but I'm having some problems. I finished the hex editing but it won't let me resave the new code...any ideas?

[ValeV008]

Thank you very much. I succesfully did it. Just it's a little hard to listen to you quietly voice :).

[Mike4lyfe1]

Thanks, you really helped me out.

[FrkShilah]

Does it have to be on another hard driver or can you do it with just one? Cause I only got a c driver.

If you can do it on only one hard driver, can you then write how to do if i have to do something to make it work?

Else realy nice guide!

Thanks!

[contrivednature]

Yes you can have it on the same hard drive, reason why I suggest using two different drives it because the hard drive with have to work less. To make it work on same hard drive just either have two different folders or different filenames.

[FrkShilah]

Ok, Thanks again!

Gonna try setting it up now, so i can get tradede between my storage accounts and my main account ;b

Realy nice guide

Do you still play Guild Wars?

[Danielcunningham]

Thanks for that video,

got it going

great walk through thanks :)

[SpartxGODS]

Thanks bro.

5/5

[chrunks101]

im stuck at the save part of the gw2(dot)exe my computer wont let me save it

[XxguitarjunkixX]

Okay. so everything up to the regedit works fine... idk why but i do not have an arenanet folder under software...now what? :/

[contrivednature]

One why to find your installation directory is by right clicking on the shortcut (on the desktop or start menu) and go to properties. There should be a field there that says target; that is where the *.exe is stored.

[suicid84]

Go to a/the shop and buy one... <40$/35Euro/30GBP

Great thing for events... so we can use 1 or maybe 2 pcs instead of 3 for idling at event games like nine rings...

[contrivednature]

You can run more than just two clients using this method.

[suicid84]

I know... a program to replace "Guild Wars" without the hexeditor is planned, too... :)

[suicid84]

Ok... my laptop (1,6 GHz, 1GB RAM, 2-3 years old) can be used for up to 4 games (5 clients --> fan has to work hard to keep the system running) parallel - but no greater run should be done... only 9/16 rings or things like that...

on a core2duo (or equ. cpu) 3 clients can be used to play without problems... ;)

[contrivednature]

Of course it all depend on your computer, personally i can run >6 (although unnessecary).

[contrivednature]

Yep, im almost done coding one.

[suicid84]

My one needs 0,12 sec. for patching 1 file... ;)

[suicid84]

all patches are done one after another (3 complete patches with "X:\...\gw.exe -image" - copy could be an alternative)

3 clients/2 copies 0,15-0,2 sec...

patchall should work, I hope so... ;)

[suicid84]

---patchall.bat @echo off cd X:\Games\GUILD WARS reg import gw.reg ping localhost -n 2 > NULL gw.exe -image ping localhost -n 1 > NULL cd X:\Games\GUILD WARS\GW1 reg import gw1.reg ping localhost -n 2 > NULL gw1.exe -image ping localhost -n 1 > NULL .......

[suicid84]

---start.bat

@echo off

cd X:\Games\GUILD WARS

start reg import gw.reg

ping localhost -n 2 > NULL

start gw.exe

[luey31]

i need a guild wars account

[0Xian0]

buy one then

[GanksterXP]

I mean Hex Editor.

[contrivednature]

just repeat the hex editor part.

[GanksterXP]

How to get 2 clients to work after an update: 1. Open Client 1. 2. Download update. 3. Go to C:\Program Files\Guild Wars and switch out the .exe file and .dat from it to the Client 2 gw folder. 4. Start Client 2. 5. If it only opens 1 client, follow the next steps. 6. Get the EXE file you just replaced and rename to GW2.exe(IMPORTANT) 7. Open Hex Breaker. 8. Open GW2.exe 9. Go to Search:Replace. 10. You do not need to rewrite anything. 11. Click "Replace All". 12. Save it.

[GanksterXP]

HELP! Ok I opened Client 1 and it downloaded some updates. Then I opened the second one, and then it got to 2 then to 1!!! WTF?? It worked perfectly b4 the update!

LF FAST REPLY!

[contrivednature]

Just follow the instructions including the annotations. By default the extentions are not show, so even if you type ".bat" at the end of the name, the real file name will be "gwbatchfile.bat.txt" and will still be a txt file.

[GanksterXP]

Also I subscribed for showing us this.

[GanksterXP]

omg thanks so freaking much!!!!!!! I LUV YOU!

[MenaceRed3]

hey dude ive done everything you did on the vid but when i open the Guild Wars Client 1 folder it comes up with the text document we made HELP PLZZ!!!

[contrivednature]
