Title: More than one installed copy?
Post by: Giftheck on November 19, 2016, 12:50:32 AM
Is it possible to have more than one installed copy of Battlefront? I'm considering making a mod much more based off EA's Battlefront for GCW only and I don't want to have to keep switching my mods around every time.

I am not sure about two different registered copies.  But what I have done in the past is have (two different folders)

Battlefront
Battlefront_copy

and then just rename them when I wanted to switch.

Well, 'installed' might be the wrong word, but I made a copy of Battlefront and ran that copy with no problems. So it is entirely possible to have two copies of the game on your hard drive and be able to run them both.

Just directly copying my installation works for me. It may depend on what OS and version of the game you're using. I use Windows 7 64-bit with the Best of PC version. Though it's also worked when I used Windows XP 32-bit.

Right, you can have as many copies of the battlefront folder you can handle and run different mods in each, but you cannot register two different CD keys at the same time as it now.  All folders will use the same CD key in the registry.
