Last night I tried to run two FFXIV accounts on my PC(Like with windower). But the second Account would keep timing out at the login screen.

Is there anyone out that has successfully been running two XIV accounts under 1 PC? If so please share! If not I hope they make a windower for 2.0 that will allow such awesomeness.

Thanks in advance!

I use VMWare to do it (as far as I know, a virtual PC is the only way). However, your VPC will always be laggy unless you're using a monstrous PC that can "give" your VPC high PC specs.

I run 3 accounts on one semi decent pc with np at all unless I take all three to LL oddly then it's a little laggy, but outside LL is fine.

FFXIV evo works well :)

You can always drop the second instance of FF to a lower frame rate if needed. I'm not very technical, so can't say much more than it needed no set up and is easy to use.

I had no idea that existed :D Much smoother than running everything through a VirtualPC.
