AC DualClient 7.2.2 Issues: There is a client already running on this machine
|
Received Error: <Game 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.
========================
I'm a longtime AC player with a decent amount of technical knowledge. I have a fully working Dualclient/Decal setup on my desktop at home and a previously working one on my old laptop. I recently purchased a new laptop installed with WinXPSP2. All the required software for DualClient has been installed and Decal works perfectly -- however, I'm unable to load a second window.
Given that I travel 100% of the week for business, I'm willing to forego having Decal & Dualclient at the same time but Dereth life without two windows (minimum) can be challenging.
I've already made some lengthy posts on the Drakier site but wanted to expand visibility since I'm desperate for resolution.
Here's the installation steps followed to this point:
1) Cleaned out old versions of Decal & AC Dual
2) Reinstalled (repaired) MS XML 3 & 4
3) Reinstalled VBRuntimes
4) Reinstalled ScriptEn 5.6
5) Reinstalled .Net 1.1 & .Net 2.0
6) Visited Windows Update for any changes & installed
7) Cleaned out lingering decal registry entries and ran the utility
8) Installed ACDualClient (using beginner mode this time) and Decal
9) Copied MSVCR71.DLL to Decal directory
10) Registered the Decal "inject.dll"
I can successfully log through ACDualclient for a single instance -- HOWEVER -- Decal fails to load with the 7.2.2 version installed (I briefly had this issue on my home system and it required changing the game client to "acclient.exe" but now have it working without manual configuration).
Attempting to run a second TOD instance on my new laptop results in the error listed above.
Any insights you have are greatly appreciated -- if there is a complex, abstruse, high risk or option to "dual log" please pass it along. Loading multiple instances manually seems impossible now... not like the old "Zone" days.
Thanks in advance for the assistance!

You need to post a decal export.

AC DualClient 7.2.2 Issues: There is a client already running on this machine
|
In case you didn't notice my last post to you on my forum, it said to basically uninstall and delete everything relating to Decal, ACDualClient, and AC:ToD... then try doing an installation on all using the DEFAULT options rather than customizing everything.
Start with only AC:ToD (with Default Options) and get it installed once and see if it works as is.
Then install Decal (with Default Options) and see if it works with AC and stuff.
If both Decal and AC work together properly as is, then proceed to the final step of installing ACDualClient again, and when going through the First Time Setup, choose the Default options again. Double check that the Options have the Polling, Hooks, Filter, and Injection all enabled, the Polling Timer is set to 2 or 3 seconds, and the Dual Log patch on the Login tab is checked.
It should work correctly at that point.
If at any time something doesn't work, stop and post about it. If it works after that process, feel free to uninstall/delete/move some of the installations and repeat the process until it doesn't work. It could mean a bug in one of the sofware applications that doesn't like custom paths. I know Decal had an issue with Custom Paths at one time, but I believe that was fixed. I don't know of any issues in ACDualClient with custom paths, but I suppose there is a first time for everything.

AC DualClient 7.2.2 Issues: There is a client already running on this machine
|
Symptom Summary:
1) AC Dual Client does not allow more than one client
2) Decal works correctly (all plugins load & operate) ONLY if ACLAUNCHER.exe used to start game
3) When starting game with AC Dualclient: Decal Bar doesn't appear in game
================================
Drakier - I followed install suggestions above (and also from your board... including reverting to "default" (e.g. c:\program files\... paths). Those steps have not successfully resolved the "client already running" error.
As noted, Decal works 100% correctly. I can presently use all installed plugins IF and ONLY IF I launch AC using the TOD launcher. If I use the AC DualClient to launch game the Decal bar does not appear. The game with Decal works perfectly, I'm just unable to dual log which is an absolutely essential function since I'm trying to level up a new character.
If there is some other method I can use to dual log, let me know. If there is some option or setting that could be installed to resolve the "already a client running" error... let me know. But as things stand I have all the options recommended for AC Dual checked. To verify, here is an exact copy of my AC DualClient.INI file (minus account information):
[General]
HideOnStart=0
MinOnLogin=0
AutoPort=1
StartDecal=0

Those don't look like the Default paths to me.

They are not... I do not keep those items installed on my C-drive because of the "scanning" software installed. HOWEVER... as I posted above, I tried it your way -- did everything to the standard paths and it offered no solution.
Therefore, I reverted to the normal install paths used (and successful on my desktop).

Checked up & sent you a reply.
Also, I manually copies over the ACDCCore.DLL to the TOD dirs... not sure if that's related anymore but I recall that having an impact earlier in the year. In my case, it didn't help. 
I've tried just about everything I can think of at this point:
Disabled Virus protection
Disabled other system scanning software
Reinstalled, rebooted, retried....
And the same sad outcome -- "There is a client already running...".
I'm going home later today & will do a more detailed comparison of my desktop to the laptop. I've perused the Windows event logs and there is nothing descriptive.
I expect when this is resolved that we'll find out that "a gnome or perhaps very small dwarf was living" inside my laptop! (allusion to Steve Martin as "The Barber" from an old school SNL)  .
I'm off to the golf course.

Try setting your refresh rate to 60 not 85.

That wouldn't have anything to do with how ACDualClient operates, and it appears that currently.. ACDualClient isn't doing it's thing for some reason.
It almost looks as if it is being blocked by something, but I am having difficulty verifying all the information.. It doesn't make sense. Stuff that should be there no matter what isn't in the logfiles, and it just isn't making full sense.

OH MY GOD --- YESSSS! I am now DUAL LOG capable on my Laptop!!!!
I traced down the only discernible difference between my desktop and my laptop: the desktop has been an AC gaming platform for a while and included just about every version of AC DualClient. On a lark, I installed the 7.1.4 version of AC Dual (which doesn't work with current game) and clicked "Update". The result -- immediately following the upgrade to 7.2.2 this way my system supports Dual Log.
Drak, maybe something for the boards here. I truly appreciate all the help and honestly, I'm just glad I can play the game again on the road to the many "non exotic" locations that business dictates.
Thanks again to everyone that has replied and maybe can find some assistance here to work through the misery of "single log only"!
