I've done everything Drakier suggested to get this running.

So far I've figured out to get the thing to actually run, but when I go to log in on a 2nd client, I get an error saying that two clients can't be running and that there already is one running. I can't get passed that at all. ISO help please.

I am the administrator when trying to install/run this as well.

I separately installed AC to it's own folder C:\Games\Turbine along with C:\Games\AC Dual Client

ACDC installs just fine. I double-click the icon to go through adding account/client info and say I want to add 3 accounts. I do so. I select my main directory as being C:\Games\Turbine\aclauncher and proceed to copy all files from that directory for #2 and #3 account. From there I try to log in account # 1 which works just fine (although I've left the Decal option off for now til I can even get this running just regular mode.) I go to log in account # 2 and that's when the error pops up saying I can't run two clients at once.

I give up. I've searched everywhere on Google, VN, and Drakiers forums. I can't find the answer. Any ideas? Please, I'm pulling my hair out with this.

you don't launch aclauncher.ini


you run ac-dc and it 'edits' on the fly aclauncher.in to run ac-dc launcher and when you close it re-edits the acluancher back to the way it was before the edits.

 

-----signature-----

So on install when it asks to select your AC directory, what file am I looking to pick from the list? I thought it was the acclauncher or whatever.

 

-----signature-----

hmmmmmm not sure wtf I did, but I got it to work finally.

Last thing I did, and I did this a couple times already, I uninstalled AC/ACDC/Decal and re-installed all. AC first, ACDC 2nd and Decal last. Now it works for some reason. I don't get it, but at least it works now.

Only thing I seem to get now is when I exit out of a client when I have 2 or 3 going, I get a directx error and it crashes, but I don't care about that so much as I do it working.

 

-----signature-----

well once ac-dc launchs the ini file, it's job is over and it 'shuts down' so that shouldn't/couldn't be causing the DX issue.


could it possibly be a low memory issue?

here's an export: I have 6GB of DDR3 RAM and a ATI 5850 HD series with 1GB DDR5 RAM-so I'm doubting it's a memory issue.

anyone have any ideas on the crash upon exit. I think this is strictly decal related and not ACDC. However, I never got it before this.

 

-----signature-----

I would suggest disabling and enabling the plugins one at a time to figure out which one does it. My guess is LTX.

 

-----signature-----

doesn't ac-dc need .net framework 1.1 installed, which from the export isn't showing up.


LTx is notorious, another one is Castaway, for desktop crashing of the acclient when logging out toons.
