Running multiple instances of D2R on the same computer

General Discussion

Just spent a few minutes trying to make this work. I don’t have 2 copies of D2R so someone would have to confirm they can actually join games.

  1. Download Process explorer
  2. Launch D2R from Bnet
  3. Open Process Explorer
  4. Find D2R on the left side, click on it
  5. Find the Event "Sessions\1\BaseNamedObjects\Diablo II Check For Other Instances
  6. Right click the event and select ‘Close Handle’
  7. Open another D2R instance using the .exe (not Bnet)
  8. Close process explorer (you dont have to, but it eats moderate resources).
