Launch T4 client when hosting T4 server

[A Former User]

is there a way to launch T4 client when hosting T4 server on the same PC?

MAD_DAD iirc, you launch the game first, then launch your server

yeah I know that cheers, but sometimes when i leave the server I quit the game without thinking. I then have to wait for my server to be empty before shutting it down. I then start my game and drop it down and then start the server.

Must be a way around this, so frustrating

MAD_DAD only way around it is to host the server on a different machine. Or you could run it in a VM.

Dss0 what is it that stops you, is it something you purposely added to it as I host 3 t4m servers that are not plutonium and can then launch and close and launch my codwaw game with no issues?

[Dss0]

MAD_DAD i think it's something related to how pluto loads the game, only one instance of the bootstrapper can run at a time but the check for that only exists when running the client.

Dss0 wish there was a way to stop the check but thanks for the info
