If they are using ISBoxer, it's not really a VM. It's using software that sandboxes the process, but it isn't really a virtual machine in the traditional usage of the term, more of a virtual environment. So it's basically all running on the primary OS, just using some virtual files rather than the actual ones on the system. Also all instances of the game would be running in a sandbox, not just the additional ones.MkOne wrote: 3 years agohe's running two instances of D2R.Brazi wrote: 3 years ago how do you connect on two different bnet accounts simultaneously though?

One on the computer and one on the virtual machine (in the sandbox), therefore you need two keys and just log in seperately.
The reason you mentioned was the main reason to run two instances in addition to muling in the old D2 days.
I spent many hours trying to get D2R to run in a virtual machine in both Hyper-V (What I assume the person who mentioned W11 was getting at), and Virtualbox. But the problem is it requires DX12 3d acceleration to run, which doesn't work with the emulated graphics available on a VM. Could be possible by passing an entire GPU to the VM for dedicated usage, but unless you have 2 GPU installed on your computer, you just flip the problem, but don't actually solve it.
To sum up, to my knowledge VM's don't work with D2R due to the graphics requirements, also 99% certain there isn't any benefit in W11 vs W10 that would make a difference.
