how to run multiple instances of Heroes of the Storm?

[Hikkikomori]

hey there, how to run multiple instances of heroes of the storm on the same windows without VM? i tried adding -launch to the shortcut but battle.net app doesn't allow me to run more than 1 instance, how do i do it?

Open your Heroes Dir and creat a shortcut for the game. Right click and at the end oof the Target line add -launch
should work.

doesn't work.. when i do this it either opens another bnet launcher or redirects me to the already opened HOTS window ;] any ideas on how to fix this? i don't want to waste resources and electricity running this on a VM

/tried sandboxie, still doesn't work

Unfortunately, the game has protections to avoid multiple instances. You'll have to use a VM for now.

I'll look into ways to bypass it later, but that's basically all I have for you right now.

i was looking into buying like 3 lifetime sessions for those 39,99 euros but VM is a lot of fuss you know, simple multiple HOTS launcher would do, looking forward to it tnx for answering just let me know when you figure something out
