Mikemania Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Is it possible to play 2 games of FM at once on same PC by either installing it twice on different hard drives or by any other means. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james170288 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I think you can only play one Fm11 at once, but you can play multiple versions at the same time, i.e. FM11 and FM10 at the same time. Provided of course your PC is powerful enough to cope, if it isn't, it can corrupt your save on either of the versions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SazoJohnno Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Mikemania, it's illegal I would say to play two games at once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

3D_Alex Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Maybe you could run it off the Disk and off Steam at the same time, if your PC is powerful enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TazzFM Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Install a Virtual Machine, and use your operating system disc to install into the virtual enviroment, from their install FM onto it. This would seriously chomp down on your CPU and RAM however, and would not even attempt this on less than 4gb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieWilliams Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 If you're using a Mac, you could buy a second version for Windows and play them simultaneously through Parallels or VMWare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't work which you would think it should because they are opening from different sources, what is the virtual route never heard of that.

bigdunk Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Have you tried running the two copies of FM under different user accounts and then fast-switching between them? No idea if it will work, but it should at least avoid any issues with the 2 copies of the game trying to write files to the same temp folder, as the temp folders are different for each user account (at least on Vista and Win 7 they are, not 100% sure on XP).
