- I have created a newer video looking more in depth at aster here, going over some of the questions from the comments: • Taking a Deep Look at ...
In this video I show how Aster can be used to allow multiple users on one PC and what some of the limitations are. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Best showcase of the software. You should benchmark the stuff with multiple titles and see the performance difference vs a single user or even a VM.
Thanks bro this was something iv been looking for some time now glad to have found your video.
Excellent, finally some coherent information about this. Thank you, sir!
Thank you bro! This is awesome
Thanks for the video!
How did it go with steam in the sandboxie? I read of problems using 2 gamepads at once but I reckon that might be fixable with 3rd party controllers
Good day sir. I'm planning to buy a Ryzen 5 4650g, and use my old gtx 660. My question is, will the igpu (vega8) can still work with the 660 so we can play games on each monitor with no compromise for the gpu? thanks
is that possible to do it on 1 monitor?for example i need one program on 1 user and the same one on another,but i cant do it with 1 user,so i need to,however to use 2 need to have subscription+ 1 more monitor which i dont have and will cost money,however i can rent out a server so idk
Insee you have blender installed in your system.. Different versions of blender on different workspaces through Aster at the same time is a possibility ??
Is it possible to use place 1 for vmix streaming and place 2 for in house projection to tvs for an audience ? Can the projector be assigned to only 1 one of the users ?
Hey man, amazing explanation! This brings up a couple of questions though:
1 - Do you have to configure Aster everytime you boot the pc, or it will remain configured after a reboot / shut down?
2 - How do you calculate the resource usage of each component? I mean, two games running at once equals to double the work or even more than that?
3 - Beign that is has been two years since the release of this video, would you say that Aster has improved its capabilities and compatibilities for gaming?
All of the settings are saved and you could even make all the instances turn on automatically at boot, which is amazing. So technically you would only need to set it up once and everything will boot just fine. SOMETIMES if the system doesn't shut down correctly you'll have to manually boot all of the other instances, but overall if everything is done properly, it will all be automated.
From a resource standpoint, i'm not too sure, i mean i tried allocating 8 cores to one users and 8 to the other but it just seems to not make a difference at all and all the cores will be used either way, no matter how you configure them. You could even just give a single core to one user but Task Manager shows that he can still use the other cores, i'm not sure if it's a bug or not, maybe it just happens to me. It's kind of a deal breaker because if one user exports (example) a video from a video editor, that workload will slow the rest of the machines down because it uses ALL cores, even if you specifically reserve cores for the user. Weird, but okay..
From a gaming standpoint, it is both AMAZING and TERRIBLE.
AMAZING because in theory you could have 2 GPUs in one system, one per user, and allow them to game at max settings on triple A titles on the same machine (provided the CPU is powerful enough to handle that).
TERRIBLE because many games won't allow you to have more than one single instance running on the machine, therefore games like League of Legends, Genshin Impact, Valorant etc will NOT run on more than a single instance. Again, deal breaker for me at least.
If you want to go my route with a multigaming capable solution, i'd say DO NOT cheap out on the cpu. You can save money on the gpus as they will only run with one user (in my case at least), but the Cpu will have to split it's power throughout all the users, so you can't cheap out on that.
My setup:
Core I9 11900K
32Gb DDR4 3600Mhz
RTX 3060
RTX 3060TI
As i said, can't cheap out on the Cpu, as you will DEFINITELY notice when other people are having heavy workloads.
can i do this wirelessly? have my second screen my girlfriends tablet? i have the program & it seemed to mention something like this on the website, but cant find any function for it. Thanks!
Nice video bro😎 but can you use a logitech f710 controllers en what are your specs?
How can I use two mic. in same time?
Can we advise dedicated network port to each machine? That might solve the issue with steam, it will have 2 different ip addresses
Great video. I'm having a problem with controllers though. Has anybody had problems using a controller on seat 2? My controller is moved to "Place 2" under "Workplaces," but whenever I go to actually use the controller, it's using it on seat 1 for some reason. Sort of bizarre why this is happening and I'd love to find a fix.
Can both users use the same piece of software? For example, I run a bookkeeping business and we use a special software, I would like my colleague to use the software (and my colleague currently uses Team Viewer to log into my computer bc of Covid and unable to travel).
Aster supports this but some software doesn't want to have multiple instances running on the same pc. The only way to know is to test it your self or find someone else that tried the program your using on aster
Can i install different vpn in each instance? And using it simultaneously.
Ex : instance 1 use vpn A, and instance 2 use vpn B
2nd monitor didnt showing on aster, ive connect them on one gpu and both has display, but the 2nd monitor didnt showing in aster.
What if both PC's aren't being used. Will PC go to sleep and if it does sleep and you move either mouse will PC wake?
How does Aster handle LAN gaming? Does it expose two separate IP addresses for the two virtual machines?
Can you use same keyboard/mouse on both monitors? Or are 2 separate sets of keyboard/mouse required?
2 separate keyboards and mouse is required if you don’t want 2 sets than you have to change keyboardand mouse setting from apster app everytime
is it possible to have 2 "workstations" on same monitor but on 2 different input source? ex. hdmi for workstation 1, vga for workstation 2 ?
I think that is possible. Point multiple monitors to one station
@@ElectronicsWizardry ok thx.. is aster reliable? is there a chance of one account on one monitor getting access to another account on the other monitor?
Can I use it on single monitor, 2 keyboards, 2 mouses?
Can i use this with just one monitor?
Hi! Thanks for the tutorial! I've got one problem which i hope you will know how to solve, I can't find that information anywhere.:(
So, I no longer need ASTER, I've uninstalled it, and now when I turn on my pc, it offers me to login in the other version of my account. It wants me to enter name and a password, but after few seconds it disappears and says "Can't connect to the server, try later". I then have to press "esc" and login into normal version of my account where I only have to enter the pin code. It doesn't break anything, just a little annoying.
Let me try to recreate this issue and see if I can reproduce it. I will let you know how my testing goed
I need to launch multiple instances of same game. Let's say I have 4 steam accounts and need to launch the game 4x. Would this be a way to do it? And can I do that from only 1 monitor? I just need to log in the server... Not actually play
use sandboxie
@@FuriousWasabi what is sandboxie
i have a problem that i can only use certain web sites like i can only go on youtube and some other web sites but if i try to go on amazon or epic games or discord it just says i dont have internet and that happens for both users can someone help please
I am gaming on 1 system.. trick is SANDBOXIE w/ each user having their own sandboxie profile.
I'm gonna have to try that. Thanks for the suggestion.
I still needed aster for sandboxie to work
If I want to play simultaneously, is it possible to use 2 mouses and keyboards only using sandboxie?
@@jan-rw2qx i couldn’t get it to work that way, I need aster to assign the devices to each user. It costs $50 for 2 users but it’s worth it because now my brother and i are enjoying playing 7 days to die together on one pc.
@@Vincent777 thanks :)
Any idea to use with Xbox game pass ? we can launch to xbox app .. but you can't launch 2 same game. And can't launch xbox app with sandboxie
so its recommendend to use two hard drivers , for diferent bus per workstation, (just installing the game in different hard drive, windows its just installed in one) , there is option to use 2 gpu in diferent workstation
There's a horrible sound stuttering when the workstations have a different sound source. If anyone ever solved this please help because ibiksoft doesnt answer in support.
When i try to play xbox PC(Beta) games it does not let me play because of this error: Error when logging into a profile of xbox live. How can I fix it?? HELPPP PLSSSSS :(
Nvidia GeForce experience not working with aster. Any solution?
can you use aster online? like for fortnite, because for me the second terminal doesnt have internet
hello is this working also using webcam each monitor?
A Webcam is normally a USB device so it can be assigned like any other usb device but I haven't tested this.
Internet not working any solution??
Very Helpful.. do really need a gpu for splitting the display ? or it also works in built-in graphics?
It should work fine with intergeated graphics but I haven’t tested this configuration. Since the performance of most intergrated is relatively low it’s probably not suited for multiple users doing graphics intensive tasks
This program shuts my screen off after a few minutes and i don't know how to disable it
the video is great but I am having issue with valorant , as the valorant starts all the other mouse stucks
You can ?
Sandbox - use it to create duplicate files for different user. Example: Two Steam Folders. Then run app sandboxed using your users folder.
Some games doesn't allow sandboxing because of their anticheat systems
Can anyone help me. Other people have done this, so I know it's possible.
On a xbox one MMORPG, a crowd of new players will be running, clearly all controlled by one controller/kb and mouse.
i can use two gpu?
Yes
Hey, I know it's a late reply so chances are you already know this, but Steam can run multiple times when you sandbox it, which can be done with software like Sandboxie. I played Divinity: OS2 in local multiplayer with a friend that way, on the same Steam account even (sandboxed Steam was in offline mode and we connected through the internal LAN). We did this because the game forces both players to use a controller in local multiplayer but we wanted mouse and keyboard.
However, sandboxed Steam will have issues with stuff like anti-cheat. When I tested it, VAC wouldn't work, so you can't play games like TF2 on VAC-protected servers. Maybe there is a workaround for that but I'm not aware of any.
I tried using sandbox or thanks to a similar comment and made a updated video and it worked pretty well. I’m not sure if they fixed something or I got luckily but I was able to have 3 vac servers running at a given time in tf2 with aster and sandboxie.
It has a hard time playing when you're using keyboard and mouse at the same time
*Have you tried using 2 GPUs and 2 disks with identical games, then launch steam from #1 and #2*
I didn’t try 2 disks but it worked fine using sandboxie with 2 game installs on different paths. I’d guess it would work on 2 different hdds.
@@ElectronicsWizardry If it would work with 2 separate but identical disks, then it would solve most of the problems, next would be two GPU with 2 identical game disks.
@@ElectronicsWizardry also, thanks for making this video, appreciate it.
What is your specs plzzz .. and is it works on gtx 750 ti 2gb on fortnite low settings 60 fps
2:14
The hell are you doing with a 750ti in 2020 XD
@@michaelconnell7938 that's all i have 😭😭😭
@@mouadh_m9118 I'm so sorry man XD. Hopefully you will get something nice to replace that for Christmas or something this year lol!
This might be a little bit late to ask but what are some of the easiest ways to boost performance when running the same game at the same time.
Thanks so much!
can i have a copy of aster
how do i make it go back to normal
You just disable it
I think with more than 2 simultaneous users you will have a problem with non-server Windows OS. If it works by accident, M$ will screw it up if they find about this program :)
Your mama is proud of you
why this software is not famous? is secure? i want a very proof of this software... how 2 system run in one pc? maybe virtualization?? or native???
I played halo with my friend on it the other day
Both of the users are running natively. Windows was made to allow for multiple users are once and both users a an run their own code. This is normally very limited on windows 10 and other home and workstation versions of windows, but aster let's you use multiple users at once.
Unraid seems cheaper and Steam works
Has anyone had luck running Warzone like this?
yes i play fortnite whith 2 monitor at 200 fps its impressive(i have RTX 3090)
anyone managed to run fortnite ? doesnt work on my end anymore
Yeah just open fortnite and using task manager close the fortnite launcher (without closing fortnite64) then you can open it on the other screen
Is it
wow finally not an asian, with english clickbait title and start talking in their local language
Lol crap spec comp with 2tb ssd.... Nice
Curious about Aster multiseat safety ... Malwarebytes is flagging that it's requesting an outbound connection to 82.202.167.118 on ports 443 and 80 multiple times a day and it's malware/Trojan. What's to keep mutectl.exe from sending computer details to a Russian network (ibik.ru)?
Any updates? Thinking of downloading this.
That IP is in Moscow, possibly it's for sending usage statistics and crash reports?
