How to run POTCO twice on same computer With less lag

this is more of an addition to this guide
http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...ead.php?t=7605

if you want to run both programs at the same time with less lag minimize one of the windows then use the other window DO NOT have both open at the same time or you will lag out both of your windows (run both on the lowest graphics settings) if you do everything right not only can you syncronize zombie dancing (i know some of my guild mates have screenies of this) you can have your level 40 help your lower level characters (like stealing your war frigate)

By minimizing the window you set the program to a background service and background services tend to use up less resources than programs that are being used at the moment and show up on the monitor

I'm not saying this can work for you as i do not know what type of hardware you have but if your computer is capable enough this is how you can use both windows with less lag

(i do this every day now no lag at all)

also you may not need more ram your CPU plays a vital part in this i have a quad-core so each window gets two cores each time i minimize the other if they share the same cores i know to expect lag
