Runnung two OOPT20 installations at the same time?

Germaniac · 08-31-2019, 05:24 AM

Since I'm keeping lots of stuff in separate excel-sheets it would be great if I could run two separate installations at the same time.

I have my "regular" OOTP20 on my hard drive and put the stand-alone version on an external hard drive ... but I can't run them both at the same time.

My hope is/was that I could run Save A on my external drive and typing the stats into my excel-files while Save B runs on my hard drive. Of course I don't want to run the same save at the same time.

Is there any way to do this? Re-naming the second OOTP20-exe does not work

Do you have a virtual machine type program? I know on the Mac we can run Parallels and emulate windows inside it.

The only way I know is to run the two installations on separate computers.

Thanks for your help, but I don't want to make it complicated.

Then I have to update my regular season stats during the play-offs
