    Install a second copy in another directory.

    You can not run the same game twice.

    I don't understand what you are saying? Do you mean install the game it self or the server in a directory.

    Like one in C:\.../Starmade the other in C:\.../StarMadeServer

    You need to change the installation path in the StarMade Launcher to load each copy.

    You can even set different variables for each installation in the StarMade Launcher.

    You need check that every time you load up StarMade from another directory. Because the StarMade Launcher uses a single file/place to store the configuration.

I think i need a better explanation on what to do because i am just not getting it.

    C:\starmade-launcher-win32-x64\StarMade
    The StarMade Launcher has a directory of it's own to.

    You need to tell the Launcher program where it can find the "real" StarMade program game files.

    The path you entered in the Launcher is for the Launcher it self.


    My Launcher data sits in C:\Users\administrator\AppData"hidden folder"\Roaming\StarMade

    But my StarMade program file sits in D:\Games\StarMade\starmade.jar

    My executable of the StarMade Launcher also sits in D:\Games\StarMade\starmade-launcher.exe
