[unsolved]How would I cause Elden Ring to adopt a different app ID when launched via ModEngine?

[shut swift]

I only own one copy of the game, but wanted to test a multiplayer aspect of my mod using Seamless, which I'm loading via ModEngine alongside my mod, I have my main account (the one that owns the game) attempting to launch it using the appid of Spacewar (that one game people use for pirating) while my alt uses the game via family share. Can someone help me out please? I just don't wanna buy a second damn copy of the game.

Oh, and in case someone tries to pull the "piracy" card on me. Because I know what some people're like. Pic for proof. I own the damn game.

This won't work, steam p2p does not allow inter-app-ID sessions

This is not a game thing, it's not a seamless thing, it's a steam thing

Aw, dang.

It looks like someone patched their code to make the appid switch possible

This was never not possible, in fact starting without relying on steam for the install location is in the me3 docs, but seeing reddit fumble a documented feature is pretty funny

But it's not relevant to the issue raised

I went and searched in the docs and couldn't find anything about making it not rely on Steam, can you link it please? Still, the point of the fork is to use Steam to play Spacewar with mods on pirated versions (what the OP in this thread wants basically), so it seems relevant. They can just download 2 pirated copies with the same version as their official one and the mods should basically work the same.

i think she just wants to test multiplayer, regardless of how she can achieve that. Axi's ER Mutex Bypass should work for that i think

this is how Axi sometimes tests things for BMP

Yeah could be easier

[shut swift]

Oh? This actually seems perfect! And yeah, I only need to test multiplayer aspects of my mod and simply lack a friend to test with.

Okay this didn't seem to work.

I assume Seamless is throwing a hissy fit (unsurprising) over me trying to join myself.

qwq

Like, I got it working, sure. But that's where my journey seems to have come to another wall.

While hosting and existing here.

Invading continues to flash this.
And joining as a Wanderer shows no message whatsoever.

I at one point got "failed to resolve host" so I assume that is just the outcome.
