Same machine, 1 XL server, 1 client. Either closes the other

[Jay]

Been having probs getting my server to follow client's Photos (pictures.xml) screen so I DL'd 2 more copies for a server/client test.

Launching either the new server or new client will immediately close the other if open.
No issues with the originals.

XNET seems to be set right on both so,?

you need to enable "allow multiple instances in ALT-F2"

or, in xlobby.xml, change:

"<allowMultipleInstances>False</allowMultipleInstances>"

to:

"<allowMultipleInstances>True</allowMultipleInstances>"


Either one of these should allow you to run more than one instance of xlobby on the same machine at the same time.

I hope this helps.

Gah! Of course. I forgot. Thanks!

Of course that worked. I was surprised to find that unlike a Web browser client, the server does not follow a mimic client in photos as it does in music, movies and videos.
