Jerilynn Lemon Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 It is possible. Sign in as your usual account then re-click the desktop icon for what ever browser you use (Firestorm for example). That opens up another sign in page. Just enter the alt you wish to have join your main and have at it. Beware, such practice can and will over work your puter drives and fan, possibly overheating. It is not recommended unless you have a top of the line machine with appropriate software that can handle the extra work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dramatic loss in fps is much more likely than lava streaming out of the computer case. ^^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllieNewell Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I find that running two viewers on my laptop works reasonably. My old laptop struggles with two viewers, but it works well enough for taking photos...……..rezzing can be slow though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help and have fun! Céline My computer is a fairly decent 2 year old gaming desktop and it can handle two avatars logged in at once. If I try three, the fps drops to "unusable". You might manage three if you have a new, high-end gaming rig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amanda Dallin Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I have an alt I use as a banker to store lindens that belong to a group. This keeps them from getting mixed up with my personal funds. When I need to transfer lindens between us I log her in with the light weight client Radegast. Radegast doesn't put any strain on my computer at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xenoqc Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I use two different viewer on my laptop, the SL viewer and firestorm. It is usefull to have two avatar logged in at the same time especially for management. BOTS! You can also use like a personal bot from smartbot. It uses one account to keep it permanently logged in without having to run it on your computer. It can be programmed and you have multiple choice of add-on available depending the bot you will choose. But if you use a bot, be sure the account has no payment info saved lol! On SL viewer: ME-Preference-advanced-Allow multiple viewer What is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh! The OP was asking about running more than one account on a computer. If you would like to talk about boting, maybe we could start a new thread. [eta] Or are you saying using bots is a way to achieve what they asked? Edited September 14, 2019 by Rhonda Huntress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
