    Default Unable to Run Multiple Clients

    Hello everyone, I am trying to open up another client but, right before getting to character selection, it boots me with the error, "Connection failed: Can't bind local socket. Is another client running?". I've tried almost everything suggested. Yes, I have the "allow multiple instances" box checked in the launcher. Anyone have any ideas? Will I have to redownload the entire game?

    I'm sorry if it's hard to understand. English is not your national language.

    Even if the multiple launch option is turned on, only one client can be launched from one launcher. Try launching multiple launchers and launching the client from each launcher.

    Windows 10?

    In the launcher there's a drop-down menu, choose the "repair" tab, see if that helps.

    Even I am repulsed by this statement ....
    If you must troll you need more than just angst and hate
    Show some flavor and class
    Racist overtones is never entertaining

    English has nothing to do with why he can't launch...
    Just making that point.

    As it's not evident from the OP, I'm going to ask for clarity:

    When you open the second client, you're logging in with a different account than the first, correct?

    I could be wrong, but if you swap the word "your" to "my" in his statement (as if from an auto-translation gone slightly awry), it makes perfect sense. (If you take a look at his other 6 posts, my supposition becomes more valid.)

    If correct... your response becomes quite ironic, no?

    Default Rutro?

    I have 1 ddo download. Use 1 launcher icon and am able to launch as many ddo instances as i'd like. I have 6 accounts and have verified mine is still working the same. I just don't use the other accounts anymore but i did check before replying here. Good luck.
