Request for Multi-Instance Support

[MrWillMB]

Hello,

I hope you're doing well!
My brother and I have been trying to play your game together on the same computer using a multi-user setup with Aster Pro, which allows us to have two independent users active simultaneously on a single PC.

However, the game currently doesn't allow us to open a second instance — it seems to detect that it’s already running and prevents a second launch.

We would really appreciate if you could consider adding support for multiple instances, or at least provide a workaround for local multiplayer setups like ours. This would make it possible for people using shared systems to enjoy your game together.

Thank you for your time and for making such a great game!

Best regards,
MrWillMB & MrWesleyMB

Hi again,

Just wanted to add some more details about our situation. We’ve confirmed that running two instances of BO2 works fine in LAN mode (anti-cheat disabled), but when switching to online mode (with anti-cheat enabled), the second instance always closes immediately.

Both instances are running in separate Windows user sessions, each with their own dedicated monitor, keyboard, and mouse, using the software AsterPro to fully isolate the inputs and displays. We understand the importance of the anti-cheat system, but since both instances are running in separate Windows user sessions, is there any chance you could consider allowing two legitimate instances on the same machine under these conditions?

We really appreciate all the work you do on this project and hope this is something that might be possible in the future.

Thanks again for your time and support!
