To launch two concurrent LoL instances, need renaming "League of Legends.exe" to say "33333.exe" and then creating a symbolic link to the renamed file in place of and
with name of the original file (using mklink standard utility). It should be done for each copy of the game.

So the problem with the game is that it protects itself from running multiple instances by looking for processes named "League of Legends.exe" across all the system,
and that renaming and linking prevents it from finding them.

Of course, you will have to do this trick again after the game receives every next update.

i'm having trouble with create symlink and harlink, can you describe what kind folder, executable you modified and process to do? when i sucess, i will have notion to do the future process. when i modified, only sucess is that other client don't crash, but don't open the second game.

you have to rename the league of legends.exe from \League of Legends\RADS\projects\lol_game_client\releases\0.0.1.190 and from League of Legends\RADS\solutions\lol_game_client_sln\releases\0.0.1.249\deploy to 33333.exe , then créate a simbolic link of them and rename them League of Legends.exe , do it for both game folders , and the game will launch ok

i'm doing it, but nothings. when i rename to 33333.exe or somethings, on task manager point to original name, but the process shold to show the modified name, no the original name. yet with the modification, the aplication insist to hold the original name. i will do new full installation of client to see any results. i understand that the system need to read league of legends.exe with other name.exe, can you tell-me what name show on task manager for you ? thanks.
PS: when i do that modification, the first opened cliente stop crash, but the second crashes (without modifications, both games crash)

Zinola1, I've created the symlinks and renamed the symlink to League of Legends.exe, however now the game doesn't open at all and stops at the reconnect screen. Does this solution still work for you, or is it broken like mine. If you or Beast2040 have any idea of why this is happening I'd really appreciate it. This multiseat gaming thing can really be a hassle sometimes...
