2 different game profiles at once?

Ok so I have setup window layouts and game profiles for my eve online accounts and my swtor accounts. Now my question is, can I launch both game profiles at once? Play the eve profile/screen layout on 2 of my screens and the other 2 play my swtor setup/layout at the same time?

Re: 2 different game profiles at once?

No. ISBoxer cannot run two character sets at the same time. I mean, how would it know which one should receive the keyboard input when you direct an action to All Windows??. You could setup a single character set, with both games, and then create a configuration which allows you to control the two simultaneously, or even with a special hotkey switch configurations, but that will take a little bit of setup.

Re: 2 different game profiles at once?

The number of accounts makes no difference.
The issues are:
  1. Will your machine handle it
  2. Will you be able to respond to an urgent situation on both games at the same time
  3. Do you setup your configuration so you can control each team individually and swap the current Key Map (and hotkey) configuration between them with a special hotkey, or do you do it so half the keyboard is directed at one team and the other half is directed at another (an extra gaming keyboard, like the G13 would be helpful here). I think this would need to be a switching setup, and you'd need to change broadcasting so it went to the active team, depending on the current Key Map configuration,

Yes my rig would handle it
Yes I would be able to handle it
I mainly use isboxer for the forced resolution to put several instances of each game on 1 screen and be able to swap between Windows quickly without having to alt tab. I would rarely, if ever, use the broadcasting feature. It's just being able to load the 2 game profiles in a custom layout across the 4 monitors. That's all I really need to accomplish.

Re: 2 different game profiles at once?

In that case, it should be pretty simple.

Create a single character set with all the appropriate characters in it, then create your window layout (which is probably going to need to be manually created. Presumably with each games characters in a different swap group.

From your description, that would be it. When you launch, it will probably do each slot in order, so if you have all the SWTOR first, and all the EVE second or vice-versa, you'd be away.

SWTOR you might want some features working for Follow and such, so you might need to setup a couple of Action Target Groups and make sure the appropriate mapped keys are targeted to them correctly, but if you aren't using much of that kind of thing, then you'd probably be fine.
