Technically, it is not a "cheat" because you are not messing with the code. But will it be frowned upon by D to change the launcher name?

well that is a possibility, i was cocerned about getting in trouble with that at first. But then i thought "They give us one copy of the launcher, and we are free to do whatever we want to with the one copy right?

And whichever mod put this in the right folder, i would like to thank very much!

Yes, but once you copy it, you now have 2 copies, which is not what they gave it to you for. lol

It is generally acceptable to make an archival backup copy, but not two copies of a software application to run it more than once (which would often break TOS on a software package as they are usually licensed to one instance).

Dont know if they care or not, thats one way, you can also use the instructions in our online account linking guide (also a required step anyhow) to achieve the same thing without even taking a chance at peaving Disney/POTCO. Shows how to just close the launcher so you can run it and login again.

Also, if you were lagging in one instance which I hear so many complaints about, you will lag far worse running the game twice.

Ah matey... I dunno, probably nothing to be feared here...

When my propeller over my head starts to spinning sometimes I get a bit technical.
Software licenses are also often "per machine" in which case running several instances of it would not be any sort of issue.

..

Using twice as much ram, resources etc.. will drag it down. If you do this you'll be wanting to turn all Graphic, and Geometry settings down LOW to help accomodate.
