Not on my machine
Two CMDRs, Two Computers
- Thread starter Old Duck
- Start date
I have two commanders, both editions are steam versions (I "upgraded" my first and original account to steam when that became available).
When I thought I was going to get my wife playing, I wanted a new character in the newbie systems to actually play with her at the same level, and didn't want to toss my other character, so I bought another copy and gifted it to a new steam account I set up. All I do is log into whichever steam account holds the "character" I want to play, and then hit steam login in the launcher. Works fine.

Okay, well I may try this. I only care about one journal (Old Duck), so I can write a scrubber to separate Jenny's data from the journal if every entry is assigned a CMDR tag.
I use two CMDR accounts on the same machine and Win Login. What I found that EDDI does upload all the journals from ed and does not separate the CMDR data. I contacted the EDDI devs and thier reply was to log the computer as a different user when switch accounts (not gona happen). I had to manual delete all the incorrect entrys both on INARA and EDSM. So be careful.
Anyway, I now use EDDiscovery to upload the journals as it does separate the different CMDR uploads.
That's a good idea. I hadn't bothered checking journals at the time, mostly was testing to see if my hotas settings were preserved (they were) and that in fact my new account was able to log in correctly. I took my new commander through the tutorial missions, but that's the last I used it. In effect, it ended up just being a proof-of-concept operation.
this may interest you my aquatic avian: what the duck wants
Three accounts, all straight from fdev though, just tied to different email addresses. Have game folders residing on three different drives on the same machine. Launch one, quit the launcher. Relaunch the launcher, use alternative credentials, low res settings on wingman account same PC. Multicrew them together. Have to shut down sound on copilot, or get annoying echo effects.
Here is an idea Duck, create a thread "Looking for Joi." Post times, time zones, an approximate npc copilot image to be modeled, and let people afk ride along with you. They can set their rig in the lowest res settings and run in the background. You get the sidekick, the pip, they get a share of the loot for being eye candy.
I'd sign up. Unfortunately I'm PST...

You realize I created that very thread months ago, right? I don't need to do this now, because I already have my "Joi" and local LAN multicrew works great. I'm just looking for a way to level up Joi enough to afford a half-decent ship to join Duck on
Though I will probably just have "Joi" join Duck for a billion credit cargo hauling spree in multicrew. That shares proceeds, does it not?
My apologies. It looks like you have your own Joi. My experience with Multicrew credit leveling is that it is far slower than playing the second account. Multicrew nerfs the credit earning potential (it used to) based on the combat level of the multicrew sidekick. So if you are Elite, and your pet is Harmless, well it will be a very long road for her.
I'll be happy to have her in a Cobra, so it won't take that long.
Yep I can do this, but I'll still need to fly my Alt in order to buy and outfit the ship I want, hence this thread. That said, the framerate on the 2nd laptop isn't unplayable, so I'm sure I could fly to a few stations to upgrade from my Sidewinder. Jenny can rid the fleet carrier to Ohm Station to get a good deal, so that I'm not making 100 jumps on a crappy laptop.
Just to clarify the OP again, CMDR Duck is installed on the good gaming laptop, while CMDR Jenny is on the crappy laptop, which normally isn't a big deal since her primary purpose is to serve as my crew. She's basically an overly complicated and somewhat useless (except for keeping me company) NPC crewmate that Frontier refuses to give me. She can stay Harmless forever, that's fine.
