Addons not being launched #58

Open leopupin opened 3 years ago

After the first run, wich is a "normal mode" run, the addons aren't loaded when I log into the game, no matter what I do, even if I manually insert them into their folder after using the virtual mode for managing the folders. (even when selecting Basic mode, it will not work either)

If you want to use addons and run multiple accounts, you need to enable localized execution under Settings > Guild Wars 2 > Management.

FYI @Healix, to piggyback off this issue as it sounds similar to my issue - if I enable localized execution, I can't load multiple copies of the game at once with add-ons.

The login launches and then proceeds but when I am watching the new Gw2-64.exe process in Task Manager when I try to load the second instance, the memory usage leaks on the latest one launched and climbs until it crashes. If I turn off the localized execution, they launch fine with multiple copies running but no add-ons. If I enable localized execution and re-sync, I can load the games individually with add-ons working but if I try to launch another instance, it does what I mentioned above.

It worked for me one time but I'm not sure if it was a fluke or what combination of settings I had to get it working. Basic/Virtual doesn't seem to make a difference (but if I choose "Virtual", then I need to manually copy the symlink for GShade. I have d912pxy, ArcDPS and GShade installed if you wanted to replicate.

d912pxy causes that - it requires exclusive access to its folder, so once one account is using it, other launches will stall. To use it on multiple accounts, set "localized execution" to "full".

Is it normal for GW2Launcher to copy Gw2.dat aswell when enabling localized execution ? It creates a folder of 60gb for each account.

Healix commented 3 years ago

Yes, when it's set to full, it will replicate the entire folder. These aren't real files, it's just giving multiple paths to the same set of files - notice it has no effect on your actual disk usage.

Ah i see, like symlinks. Thanks for the answer i didn't watch the total disk usage tbh. Love your tool!
