Two questions

[Cloudkicker]

Is it possible to run CoH in windowed mode rather than full screen?

And can you run two instances of it. Have two accounts loggged in, one on each instance?

[Mjolnerd]

Windowed mode? Yes. It's in the options menu, same place as you'd change resolution.

 

Multiple accounts/Multiboxing? Also yes, BUT there are rules about it: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/topic,2356.0.html

[_NOPE_]

Fast way to windowed mode, hold Alt and press Enter.

Just for clarity

 

2 accounts/2 computers <> Multiboxing - that's called having multiple users in the same location (gaming time is family time)

2 accounts/1 computer = Multiboxing

Cool! Thanks guys!

 

I basically just want to log in another alt to test out healer binds & powers, TP a team mate, etc, without having to attempt them in a live mission or bother another player to hang around while I attempt keybind re-writes.

 

I run one PC with two monitors so running windowed would mean being able to shift one account to each monitor and easily see and control whats happenning on both.

You're forgetting one major part of that formula: Number of users. In either one, if there's only one user, then it's multiboxing.

I mean technically, yes you are right. I was assuming one user per computer.  I suppose if you have the technology (multiple PC's in easy reach you can multibox with 2 PC's), but that seems like an edge case.

That's not true since a "box" = "computer".  One person running two accounts or more over more than one "box" is multiboxing.  One person running multiple accounts on one computer is multiaccounting.

Regardless, the Dev's have defined it the way I have, so terminology and technicalities aside:

I'm not arguing that there aren't more technical names, but for the lay person, and the community, this is the definition they are working off...

I always called it 'doubleboxing' when 2 different accounts were played at the same time on one puter. I first saw that on live.
