Two players playing remotely from one machine?
 

I am traveling with my son. We have two copies of Dom 3 (2 CD codes) but only one computer. I'm hosting from my LAN at home. Can we run Dom3 from two separate directories, with two different CD keys, to avoid triggering the CD duplicate detection?

Thanks!

I think it would be better to run Dom3 twice from the same directory, using the same CD key. Dom3 doesn't have a problem with one installation playing two different nations.

Replacing the key files alternately would also be an easy solution.

But anyway yes, I believe two directories with different CD keys count as completely different copies. Alternating keys would have the same effect.

You can run from two different directories on the same machine. I've done that in the past.

On a lan using a shared directory can be simple also.

Can someone explain why you would want to? Is it just so you can alt-tab between nations?

No, it's two players doing their turns from the same machine. Both instances of Dom weren't run simultaneously, my computer can't handle that.

But then why do you need two installations at all? Why not just run both nations from the same installation? There must be something I'm not understanding here.

Two copies of the game - two CD keys
