mm3 Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Quick one i'm sure i've seen this done before. How do you open two sessions of sims.net on one client!? Cheers
pete Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Use the multiinstance switch with pulsar (launch both instances from a shortcut that uses it) pulsar.exe /MULTIINSTANCE 4
MrMat Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Right click your shortcut and select properties. Then add the following: Ta da! Edit: DOH! Beaten to it. 1
grahamd22 Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 That doesn't work for me or another user it just keeps bringing up the one instance of SIMS? this is on a windows 7 x64 desktop
mm3 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Posted April 25, 2014 That doesn't work for me or another user it just keeps bringing up the one instance of SIMS? this is on a windows 7 x64 desktop make sure you have logged in before you try to make another instance
Boredguy Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Works happily on any client running SIMS. I've tested on Windows 2003 up to Windows 8.1
grahamd22 Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 make sure you have logged in before you try to make another instance That's what I tried !?
synaesthesia Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Doesn't work here either (never knew about it!)
clockend25 Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Worked for me on 8.1 Will be quite useful for some training I'm doing on Monday.
pete Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 You'll have to close any running instances of SIMS (including any hung pulsar.exe processes), then launch fresh instances from the new shortcut. It works here on Windows 7 SP1 32 & 64bit and on Windows 8 64bit.
synaesthesia Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Tried and tried, same on 7 x64 and 8.1 x64. Odd!
MrMat Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Those of you that are having trouble, do you still have the SIMSLoad.exe included within your shortcut? SIMSLoad breaks it. Providing you're using S3 you don't need SIMSLoad included in your shortcut anyway so just delete it. 1
tombry Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I have two shortcuts - one with out the multiinstance switch - I launch from the one without the switch, and then launch the one with the switch - try that
synaesthesia Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Embarrassing! @tekins just pointed out that our shortcut was still using simsload - to see that I had to scroll back in the shortcut box!

vikpaw Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) No joy here either running pulsar /? at the command prompt also highlighted some other unknown about features, which also DO NOT work. who knew?! EDIT: luddite here, so need simsload, but even taking it out didn't work. Meh, don't need to run it twice that badly, don't have the spare RAM anyway Edited April 28, 2014 by vikpaw
