daoc issue
When i try to run a second account it allows me to login then crashes before bringing up the charater select screen. tried useing quick login, it crashes right after logging in. i can log in two accounts if i use wineq2 for 1 account then launch the second with out wineq.
now that ive updated to rc3 daoc fails to load past the login screen. i think the previous problem i was having low ram. heres my system info if that helps.

well i often run 2 accounts on this system with the built in windowing. theres alot of lag when i start the second account but it settles down after about 5min. theres a built in command /clientsleep that causes the non active window to stop drawing more recorces than it needs to stay alive, ie no graphics. this causes the second client to run on about 100mb of ram where the main is running on 400+ depending on what your doing. i wonder if while in running in wineq if its not accessing this tho im not sure why it wouldnt.
I'm currently doing some performance testing with 2 Trials of Atlantis clients with 2 monitors. Going to work on some things to get it up to speed
/clientsleep background doesn't seem to do much even after I let the game determine if it's in the background or not. Both clients use 350mb of RAM either way. And there does seem to be a bit of lag at the startup on one of the accounts as you mentioned.
I'll be adding a FPS indicator and limiter to the DAOC plugin and we'll see how things go. Thanks for your feedback

yeah i found that the memory useage in windows mode is always more.. i ran 2 client in full screen mode with /cliensleep background i found that if i alt-tab to firefox both clients use about 150mb. where in windows mode there around 300. /clientsleep minimized seems to drop it down to 200 if i minimize both clients.
