Is it possible to have a different user in the second instance if FGU? I have one started as GM, and I would like the other started as player, but I'm seeing that they are using the same user name 'jasone' and am not sure that if that is causing the issues I see - one is that I can't create a character in the player instance (the one I started 2nd and joined the lan game hosted by the 1st instance (GM))
Thanks,
Jason

No; the second instance on the same machine will use the same FG user name.

I think you would need a second install to run second instance as a separate user, with separate login and registration info. When I played around with this, switching users caused the updater to remove or reinstall. When I try to work this way, I run the second user as demo on a notebook computer, so I can have a different user name.

Username doesn't impact if the running instance is considered a host or a client. What it impacts is object ownership, like PCs and Notes. Because the username and login credentials are stored in the registry, you will need to connect with a second computer if for some reason you need a different username (but I don't see any reason to need this).
Many of us, including the devs, have been using a second instance with the same username for years and have not found a need (that I've ever heard of) for a different user login.

Thank you - yeah - it was ownership that I was having issues with - I think it is just as much as this is all so new to me and I'm trying to figure it out as anything to do with technical issues.... I probably cause them
I'll do a mix depending on what I am needing. Just trying to figure it out so I can teach those who we'll be playing with... thank you all for your help.
