Multi-Box on the same computer problem

[Lass]

<p>For some reason I cant load up the second account on my computer when mult-boxing. The green "Play" box says "playing" in the load screen and wont let me click it to play. Ive been multiboxing for several months without a problem before today. </p><p>Can anyone offer some advice on this?</p>

<p>I've had a similar problem before after years of trouble free multi-boxing.  After days of messing about with firewall settings etc, the advice from Customer Services solved it.</p><p>That advice was to unplug my modem/router and leave switched off for 30 mins.  On reboot it worked like a charm.  Try it - you have nothing to lose.</p><p>BTW - checked before i typed this up and I can still multi-box with no issues so it isnt a program change today that has caused a general issue.</p>

<p>I have the same problem when I start 2nd one up.   To fix it I close it when it gets stuck on playing and restart it then it always works the 2nd time.</p>

<p>This happened to me yesterday.  It had been working fine till yesterday. </p><p>I have no idea why this worked, but I went into options and clicked on "Checked streamed assets on startup" on my first instance and hit the play button.  Opened up the second instance of the game and no more showing I was playing on the second account when i logged in.  Did the same thing with the options on the second instance and logged in.</p><p>Maybe it will work for someone else.</p>

Not sure if I will have to do that every time but at least it worked.</p>
