can people report back that this works? it does for me.


I created the notepad file and saved it in my main SWG folder.


I have heard that it does not work with "all" video cards.



I have hosted the user.cfg so you can download it off of my server.

put this in your



C:\Program Files\StarWarsGalaxies



folder

Im sure it will work but my question is why would you need to? I am having a hard enough time paying 14.99 a month for this buggy game let alone 29.98 or even 44.97....

Well if you stopped and thought about it for a second, the answer would seem pretty obvious.

Didn't work for me to begin with. But I found that if I start my first account and manage to start the second one before the first finishes loading then I can get both of them going. Works every time.

I play EQ as well as SWG. I have yet to figure out how to play both at the same time. Any ideas?


I would really like to be able to do this, since it would allow me to have my EQ char selling in the bazaar while I'm happily earning fp in SWG.

Actually this is a great idea unless the second character is not being paid for. If second character is being paid for then I don't see the problem. I like this idea because of the harvester advantage. I have two other characters for lots that I use and this would be nice if for no other reason than being able to transfer credits and power.

Don't tell me there is something in there dictating that you cannot play two games that are unrelated at the same time from a single computer? I pay money for these games, and should be able to play whatever I want, whether it's another Sony game or cards on Yahoo. Sitting afk in the bazaar in EQ does not violate the EULA, so why would Sony care about what I did with my time while afk there, including firing up SWG to have a little fun? After all, I'm paying money to play both, and could do so if I had two computers with the appropriate graphics cards.

No one needsto worryabout this being against the rules or what not.


I was asked by Garva himself to post this guide here.
