    I think I already know the answer but i figured I'd ask just in case...

    My friend is over and I would love to be able to play with him online in the other room on the family comp (plus, he needs some opponents, join the kart server, they're amazing!). Is it possible to have two installs at the same time on two different PCs both playing eachother simultaneously? They would just be from my account, so the same user...I'm guessing the answer is no, but figured I'd ask.

    If you want 100% correct answer, then someone from devs need to reply.

    I can share my thought and the answer would be the same as yours: NO.

    I think that each account has a dedicated player ID (GUID) like in most online games and that is not possible for 2 identical guids to be on the same server.

    There can be also other verification system from main RF2 server that will disconnect the duplicate account even before you try to join servers.

    But I'm not sure, I can be wrong too.. Wait for officials :)

    I have done that occasionally when my son wants to race with me.

    You have a single user license that YOU can use. Doing as suggested would violate the EULA and, if we felt like it, invalidate your license altogether.
