    Run two instances of BF2 on one computer w/ 2 cd-keys

    Is there a way to run two instances of battlefield 2 on one computer using two cd-keys?

    I know there's +multi start up command but it just opens up two windows using the same cd-key so I can't play online with both windows.

    I'm thinking I might have to copy battlefield 2 installed directory and make another shortcut to start from that directory and maybe edit registry to add another cd-key I have? I don't know

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Now why would you want to do that anyway? Stadpadding?

    I don't know if there's a way to do this just for the above mentioned reason ^^

      whether I want to do this for the above reason or not, that is none of your business. if you don't have the answer to a question, don't post because all you are doing is trolling :thumbsup:

        That wasn't trolling at all. He was asking a legit question. Perhaps if you told him what you needed it for he may have been able to help you, or come up with an alternative?

        He also gave an answer, he stated he didn't believe it was possible.

          I've seen people running multiple instances of battlefield 2 on one computer using multiple cd-keys. So I know it is possible. Anyone who asks why I would want to do that are the ones who don't have an answer to my question so what's the point of answering anyway.

            If you had been here for more than 5 minutes you would know that this community doesn't look kindly on stat padding. The only reason anyone can see for you to want to run two instances is so you can have an idle account logged in that you can find and kill over and over. Or you can use it as a dummy on an actual padding server. No one here is going to want to help you with that.

            You could always buy another computer and have your dummy on it, if you're that serious about being a scrote sac padder. I ran BF2 on two computers with two CD Keys at the same time so I could fly and gun at the same time. Of course, that wouldn't work with two instances on the same PC. As far as I can tell, the ONLY use you could have for running two instances on the same time would be for padding.

              I don't mind him stat-padding, as it doesn't affect my actual gameplay in any way. How do you know if he doesn't want to make a movie or something?

                first and foremost, I came here to get an answer to my question not to get useless comments from trolls like you

                I have a laptop so like you did, I can always run another instance of bf2 on my laptop. But because I've seen people running two instances on one computer, I came here to get an answer. If you don't have an answer, beat it.

                  You didn't mention that in the first post so my answer wasn't trolling at all. I didn't know it was even possible to have two similar games running at the same time.

                  But if you aren't going to statpad I don't see any real reason to have two instances of BF2 running on the same computer. If you want to overload your computer to get your warranty money there are better ways

                  You seem to love calling people trolls btw

                    the problem is, you are trying to predict what I'm going to do. that's none of your business especially when you don't have an answer to my question.

                    I said above it's possible. I've seen people doing it in real life but I just don't know how they did it.

                    you are 16 from sweden making useless comments on bf2 forum. troll. enough said.

                      You two just drop it, just answer his question.

                      Would you rather have people statpadding or making useless arguments on a forum?

                        I don't see how running two instances of bf2 on one computer is for stat padding only. Many people have both desktop and laptop and so do I. I can connect to internet with both and play bf2 on both.

                        I don't understand why people give so much **** about what I'm going to do especially when they don't have an answer lol.

                          We don't want to aid and abet a scrote with padding. Anything I can do to frustrate and annoy a cheater/padder/hacker makes me happy. :)

                            lol you are just dumb

                            I already said I can run bf2 on my desktop and laptop. If I wanted to stat pad, that's what I would do: use desktop and laptop.

                            and another useless comment by an idiot who doesn't have an answer

                              Your evasive replies point towards exactly what we don't wish to encourage, so you need to be more understanding of us: additionally, you may claim to have access to a notebook, but that is not necessarily true, which brings us back to the main question...

                              Why do you require two instances of the BF2 executable to be running simultaneously, exactly?

                              I have your answer, and I do "give a sh*t" what you're going to do with it, so I suggest you prepare a fairly convincing answer to the above question. By the way, it's bad policy to call others idiotic when you lack the basic ability to utilize a search engine to acquire the information you desire.
