You are able to run multiple instances of Istaria Companion by copying it onto a different place on your hard drive. Simply follow the below steps.
Requirements[edit]
You need a second Istaria install folder. Parsing two characters from one Istaria installation is not possible.
Steps[edit]
- Open Windows Explorer and navigate to Istaria Companion's install folder
- If you didn't choose a different one, it should be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Istaria Companion
- If you didn't choose a different one, it should be:
- Copy all of the contents, BUT NOT THE 'workspace' FOLDER, into a new folder, for example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Istaria Companion 2
- Right click the 'Istaria Companion' program file, choose the 'Send to -> Desktop' option to create a link on your Desktop.
- Right click the new link on your desktop, select the 'Properties' option
- Select the 'Compatibility' folder
- Check the 'Launch as administrator' field and confirm
- Start your second Istaria Companion for the first time, using your new link on Desktop.
- Select your second/third/etc. Istaria installation folder and confirm.
- Open the main menu and choose 'Preferences'
- Enter a program title suffix, so you can differ between the two Companions in the future. You may want to add a suffix on your first install, too.
That's it!
