    I mean you need to click on Desktops (blue icon)to active it before you click on UWO because gameguard will prevent Desktops to work for some reasons.

    1. Active desktops

    2. Open UWO then type 1st account and password then select character to start.

    3. Alt + 2 (oh you need to check shortcut keys by click on desktop that will tell you Ctrl, Alt, or etc after you active it) to change to 2nd window then click on UWO then type 2nd account and password then select character to start.

    4. Alt + 3 to open 3rd window then type 3rd account and password then select character to start.

    Now, you can play 3 toons.

    I see there could be several issues that need to make it working.

    Anti-Virus
    Firewall

    Device Manager->Computer->Scan to Hardware to change err basically it will update if current is too old shit to run the game.

    Settings->Window Update

    those could prevent you to use desktops or play 3 toons.

    Yeah i used desktops but it still kicked me while having 2 accounts running but that was because of my anti virus(bitdefender) i needed to disable all its functions to be able to play it. But i dont use desktops anymore i just like to have 2 smaller windows running next to each other.

    I actually erased the file folder with game guard in it, make uwo repatch and atm the new game guard is behaving.
    We'll see in a day or two but worked for me

    Someone either on this thread or another suggested turning off your AV. I did and now I am able to log in to 2 accounts on main window and use "Desktops" to open the third. Now today I have tried to log on and the nprotect comes up like its going to launch the game but it doesnt. The nprotect program is in the taskbar. Gonna reboot and see if it helps.

    ive found the problem with bitdefender, you dont have to turn off everything just the "advanced threat defense" it has threat defense and ransomware protection which i find weird. but if i just turn off that part i can run the game normally.

    You need to UNINSTALL those anti virus software or firewall. Gameguard works like a virus AND a detector.

    It will treat anything with system privilege as game hack, because that's how game hacks work.

    Because of this it is also regarded as a virus or threat because it elevates way above tha any normal applications.

    Just unload your antivirus software on your game pc. They do you little good other than making the machine slower.

    You dont have to uninstall your antivirus, just disable it when you play UWO.

    *sigh* This thread proves how legitimate multi-boxing is, as part of the game's design.

    I've seen some people playing 3 chars at the same time. It was funny because they looked exactly the same, like 3 twins, and also dressed the same way xD.

    By the way, for me gameguard works 298348 times better than xcrap ^^.

    I just started having this problem while using Desktop Systernals. When I log in with a 2nd client, the 1st gets disconnected. Sometimes it happens right away, sometimes after 5 min. or so.  This problem started happening around Thursday, Nov. 30th. Running multiple clients worked fine from the UWO/Papaya Play launch until then. 

    I've tried disabling anti-virus, made sure had permissions in firewall. I think its and update/Game Guard issue? Anybody else having same issues?

    It is probably your anti virus. I have been running 3 toons all on a same desktop without a single problem.
