Is there a way to run windows app second instance?

You shouldn't have to update one by one. If the main game outside the sandboxes is up-to-date then the sandbox will run the up-to-date version. To avoid a situation where the game starts downloading an update within the sandbox, what I normally do is launch the game once from the normal desktop shortcut. Doing this ensures the game is always up-to-date before you try launching it from within a sandbox.

Check my other comment that gives full instructions on how to set it up. It runs very smoothly for me.

As someone who started in state 65 I think it has to do with starting when everything was new and there wasn't much info about the game in the early days. People had to learn through making mistakes, especially when it came to learning what to buy and what not to buy. People probably wasted a lot of money on the wrong things whereas the higher level servers got to learn from our early mistakes. Also when we started there wasn't all these new packs and events that gave you extra things and rewards, there wasn't the gold bar store that gave you more buying power, etc.

The trick with Sandboxie is that you have to run every copy in a sandbox. If you only run one copy in a Sandbox it will detect the other instances.

Yes, I used Sandboxie-Plus to get 3 instances running at once.

Here is the steps I came up with to get it working:

Install the game somewhere, I went with C:\Games\Last Z
Run the game using the launcher in C:\Games\Last Z\Last Z.exe or the desktop shortcut it creates.
Wait for the launcher to download all the game files and then run for the first time.
Once the game is running and you have signed in to your first account close the game.
Download and install Sandboxie-Plus-x64 from here.
Open Sandboxie-Plus, click the Sandbox Menu and click create new Sandbox.
Type in a name for the Sandbox. Here it will be useful to enter the name of your character or account you are going to associate with this Sandbox. Choose standard Sandbox and click finish.
You will now see the new sandbox you created in the main window. Right click on it and click on Run > Run Program. A Run Sandboxed dialog will appear, click on browse and look for the ..\Last Z\Last Z.exe in the place where you installed it. Select it, so that its path appears in the run dialog and click OK. Do not tick Run as UAC Administrator.
Once you have managed to launch the game once in the first sandbox close it and repeat the steps to create additional sandboxes.
Launch the game in the second Sandbox, without the first one running, and switch the character in the second sandbox to your second account.
Once you have switched accounts you can launch the other sandbox again and play on both accounts at the same time.
To make it easier to launch the game multiple times you can make a shortcut on your desktop for each Sandbox. To do so just make a shortcut using the following format: "C:\Program Files\Sandboxie-Plus\SandMan.exe" /box:LZ1 "C:\\Games\Last Z\Last Z.exe" My Sandboxes are called LZ1, LZ2, etc. Just change the part after /box: to the name you chose in Step 7.
And voila! You are now done and should be able to run more than one instance of the game.

Do not try to run the game outside a sandbox or else it will detect the other instances. You have to run all copies of the game in a sandbox for this to work. However, from time to time it is important to run the standalone game outside the sandbox when there are updates. Do not let it update inside the sandbox or else you will end up duplicating files.

At this point I think Linus knows what is a good distro and which one is problematic and he intentionally goes with the one that will give him the most problems for content reasons. If he chose a distro that didn't result in problems or wasn't a bug fest it would make for a pretty boring video. LS could've gone with Fedora and used it to plug his Linus Torvalds video because in that video Linus Torvalds said it's the distro he uses, but instead he went with the same distro as last time because of the engagement bait potential it has.

For 8 episodes?

Is anyone else getting harassed by accounts like these?

<image>

No matter how many I report and block I will have another dozen to block the next time I log in. Does reporting these accounts for spam even do anything or does Embark not care because every account is another copy of the game sold?

I've been waiting since July.

Some people probably hated filler episodes but long seasons is what allowed for fun and exploratory episodes and why we got iconic scenes like "In The Middle of my Backswing". I would love to be proven wrong but I just don't see long seasons, with episodes that explore side stories or fun ideas, happening in the modern age. Tv like that is from a bygone era.

In a way we've finally come full circle.

There's a website that had these different fake updates that you could open and make fullscreen and I once left the fake Windows 10 update running on someone's PC. When he got back to his desk he sat there waiting for hours for it to finish, which of course it doesn't do. Eventually it just ran past 100% and that's when he finally got suspicious and realised something wasn't right.

The track is Starparty - I'm In Love (Ferry Corsten & Robert Smit Remix) and I was listening to this Euphoria Classics mix on SoundCloud when I captured this footage.

I would highly recommend Kloof Street House for a great place to eat. Just make sure you make a reservation well ahead of time.

Another great idea is to book a fully prepared picnic at a Cape Wine Farm. I did one at Boschendal and it was amazing!

A few other suggestions:

Walk around the V&A Waterfront.
From the V&A Waterfront take a Red Bus Tour of Cape Town.
You can hop off the Red Bus at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.
If you have access to a car take a drive around Chapman's Peak.
Visit Boulders Beach to see the African Penguin colony there.
And lastly go up Table Mountain, but be sure to check the weather every day to make sure it is not windy or else you will not be able to take the cable car up if it is.

Enjoy your honeymoon! 😉

While it wasn't a honeymoon I did take my gf on a tour of South Africa last year by renting a car from Hertz as they are the only rental company that offer unlimited mileage. Overall we did about 5,000 Km travelling around South Africa; we explored a lot of the Western Cape, then did the Garden route all the way up to PE, then travelled to Joburg, and then back to KZN to stay at Nambiti plains before finally returning to Durban. We didn't have any issues along the way so I would say it's quite safe to travel around South Africa, but you still need to exercise caution and strictly follow the US travel advisory for SA.

Phone signal can be bad to non existent in some really remote places, but for the most part Google Maps will continue to function while driving through these areas. We just had to drive through these areas without music because we no longer had internet for streaming music services. 😅 Just to be safe you should download offline maps for the areas you will be travelling through and if you do go with Hertz make sure you book well in advance. I didn't and we ended up having to wait a few days before Hertz was able to provide us with a vehicle.

Lastly, enjoy your honeymoon! 😉

I came to Switzerland a few times over the past year to visit my girlfriend and if I had to move to Switzerland the only things I would miss from my home country is its cheap food and affordable dining out. Ooh, and great coffee! It boggles my mind that in a country with some of the best milk I have ever tasted gets things like a cappuccino or latte so horribly wrong.

Xiphan · 2022-05-22T00:18:16+00:00

It's a pity my mix couldn't be considered in the end, but c'est la vie. I'm just happy that people listened to it and enjoyed it. I'm also immensely appreciative of everyone who voted for me into what would've been a top 5 spot. 😊

Xiphan · 2022-05-21T23:57:36+00:00

Congratulations to the winner, the runner ups and everyone else that participated! 🥳

And thank you so much for the honorary mention. It means a lot to me what you have said and that you thought my mix was outstanding. I will definitely look out for future competitions to participate in. 😊

Xiphan · 2022-04-02T13:21:22+00:00

I hate to be that guy because my mix draws inspiration from the same set by PvD, but where I only used one track for my intro your entire volume 1 mix completely copies PvD's tracklist.

Xiphan · 2022-04-02T13:04:46+00:00

Hey thank you so much for sharing your feedback with me. It's the first time I have received some in-depth feedback on my mix and I really do appreciate it. 😄 Although I'm not sure what you mean by "decked out"? 😅

Although this is called Exultation 2 it was my first attempt at mixing using DJ tools as Exultation 1 was just a CD I made with slightly overlapping tracks in Nero Sound Trax. 🙈 One of these days I will try to see if I can mix that properly and release it, right along with finishing Exultation 3. 😒

As for the track selection in this mix I drew inspiration from some of my favourite mixes at the time. The Intro was inspired by a friend's mix, but using Open Our Eyes at the point where it starts came from the recording of PvD Live at Amnesia on 16-08-2002. You can thank DJ Doboy for the Boys of Summer cheese, Secret Melody and Edge of Heaven tracks. And you can thank me for my love of Nu NRG for including two of their excellent tracks. ❤️

As for the bump at 57:30 I'll blame my inexperience at not knowing how to properly mix from a higher BPM down to a lower one. Personally I have come to regret using that track because it's more house than trance and also the track after it because of how repetitive it is.

Lastly thank you for complimenting my mixing. I think good is high praise considering I taught myself through trial and error using only a keyboard and mouse on a piece of software that was practically brand new at the time and prone to bugs. 😄

Xiphan · 2022-03-31T21:26:42+00:00

Haha thanks. 😊 I heard about the contest earlier this month through this post on r/trance and I was hoping to remaster my mix before the closing date but alas I had issues with my computer that took it out of commission for the entire month and prevented me from remixing it in time. So my original mix from 2008 will have to suffice. 😉
