Subject: Need help getting AC dual client to run. Ive tried everything; need an ACDC guru!
Hello,

Ive been trying to run Asherons Call Dual client, or acdc for short for a few days now. Nothing I do seems to be getting it to work though. I always run into the error, "There is a client already running on this machine. It is not possible to run two clients on the same machine. Please use the already running client."

When I run acdc to open just one client, decal wont load through it either (even with the load decal button pressed).

Ac is installed to d:/ac/
Decal is installed to d:/decal/
Dual client software is installed to d:/dualclient/

I am running windows xp.

I have checked/unchecked every single button on acdc software and decal, and have run tests using all the configurations I can think of. I did clean install of asherons call/decal/acdc and have installed, uninstalled, and updated all the files that acdc needs to run (microsoft installer, vb libraries, and the rest of the stuff on the acdc website sidebar).

Here is the decal export from right after I have clean installed decal, ac, and acdc. Would be great if you guys could help me figure out whats wrong!

When you installed ACDC did you get a message about enabling performance counters?

Are you pointing ACDC to the correct paths for the AC.exe files in each seperate folder?

AC should be installed as:

D:/TurbineGames/AC
D:/TurbineGames/AC2

Etc, etc.

Also, when running XP, you can install everything into their default folders.

D:/AC/3/
D:/AC/4/

I am currently reinstalling acdc to copy everything like this:

D:/AC1/
D:/AC2/
D:/AC3/
D:/AC4/
etc

Ill tell you guys if it works or not.

have you tried hitting the "find Path" button before logging in the second account ?
Have you pointed ACDC to all paths you have ac installed to ?

As was mentioned earlier, using Win XP you should be able to install AC to the default locations (C:\program files\turbine\asheron's call - throne of destiny). Same goes for Decal - I notice you are using the beta decal version. You might try running the "tried and true" release rather than the beta and see if that helps. Also, I recommend you update your video drivers - the one you are running is from 2009. It's always a good idea to have those up to date - especially with Decal happy

If you are going to run decal, make sure you can log into AC with ONLY decal running first. This will produce a decal bar with nothing but its hotkey system icon on it. If you have this going ... onward!!

Your export looks like you have all necessary stuff to make Dual Client happy, so completely uninstall it, down to the additional clients you created. The reason for this is that Dual will create and copy for you. Dual can be very picky about where things are at times, so let it call the shots on that (unless there is a specific reason for you NOT to want the defaults).

When you install Dual Client, and run it for the first time, it will ask how many clients you want to run. I usually set Dual on my system (also Win XP) to run 3 clients. Dual will next ask if you want it to copy files - allow it to do so for you. After this is done, try to log in first client (I recommend doing this step without Decal running - we are checking to see if Dual Client itself is happy and functioning properly). It should load up without any problem. Now try to load a second client - again without Decal. If you can get both clients up and running, Dual is good to go (I also recomment playing in a window, but that is totally up to you).

Exit completely out of both clients, and fire up Decal. Again log in the first account. If you have any problems, something is haywire with Decal. If you can get the first client loaded, you should be ok from there. Let us know how it goes happy

Ashake, I tried out your suggestions and ACDC still does not work. I am at wits end.

OK ... is it giving you an error message? If so, what is it. Is it only Dual client that isn't working? Did you get decal functioning - and which version are you using?

Also, did you allow everything to install to its default directories?

Lotsa questions, but need to know so we can brainstorm more for you happy

edit: Also, pls either post a new export here ... or PM to me if you prefer happy

I am a big fan of AC Multi Client personally. I tried like hell to get ACDC to run on my Vista 64 machine to no avail, ACMC setup and worked on the 1st try.

I have it linked in my sig btw...

Aye you do, but suggestion: give a link directly TO the download of the program, will help those who are looking for it from getting frustrated. Also - in your listing, give Losado credit for the program, right now it says 'unknown' and his name is on the file if you put your cursor over it.

And to original poster? I will second azv4's comment - I downloaded, installed and had it up and running in seconds on my laptop, which runs Win 7 Pro, 64-bit ... you will most likely need to mess with the ports it lists, unless this is the only computer you will use it on, other than that? Sweet little program and works nicely.

Subject: Need help getting AC dual client to run. Ive tried everything; need an ACDC guru!
I did a complete format of my harddrive, and reinstalled windows. I then followed the instructions on the wiki and installed everything. After loading ACDC, it worked with no problems. Even decal loaded fine!

Thanks for the help; it turned out to be a problem with my OS.

On the process of activating my second account, hopefully there won't be such problems.
