Multiple instances - Steam version
Hi all,
Been quite some time since I played. Saw TB on steam and thought Id give it a go again.

Is it possible to have multiple instances of the game running in the steam version? In the past I would open TB a couple times so I could single play while waiting for a match in multiplayer. Cant seem to do that anymore - or at least I cant figure out how...

You can view replays while idling in a MP room by running a second game instance which is a method that's been there pretty much forever. With the Steam version that'd be toribashSP.exe and with standalone that'd be the regular toribash.exe.



The question in the thread was about replays during MP games, but I believe this answers your question too.

If not, let me know and I'll see what else I can advise.

You can also technically run multiple toribash.exe instances with Steam version, but they'd need to be launched manually (as opposed to starting the game via Steam)
