So I was minding my own business, switching over from Windows to Linux to begin working on compiling another video when I decided to launch Steam as I usually do, and ran into a random bug that causes the system to halt while the client updates (seems to happen randomly). When I regained control of the system I noticed Steam wasn’t running still, even in Task Manager. I launched the client again, and when it popped up on the screen I noticed another window on the left monitor; the update window usually seen before the steam client even launches. I was intrigued enough to see what happened next, and here it is. Two instances of Steam on the same operating system. For the hell of it I installed the Windows version of Steam via Play On Linux and managed to get a third client running for shits and giggles:
Some interesting side effects when running more than one client. You’ll notice the linux client on the right is offline, but I was actually able to type a status and then refresh the page on the left linux client. Unfortunately the client on the right froze on that status screen. What was funny was that the Windows client had the same issues, but thought of itself as online.
My only remaining question is this; can I multiply the 17 cents in my Steam wallet and place them into one client? :trollface:
