How to run more than one instance?

Unity Engine

I unchecked “Force single instance” in Player settings, but I can only run one instance of the .app I build. Subsequent double-clicks on the icon merely focuses the first instance.

It also completely ignores my settings for “Default is Fullscreen” and “Display Resolution Dialog”.

I am running OS X 10.11.2 and Unity 5.2.3f1

That can only affect Windows and Linux; it’s not possible to force single instance on OS X, nor is it possible to disable default OS behavior, which is what you describe. The only way to run the same app twice is by using the shell.

Thanks, Eric. For the benefit of others, the best pursuit of this idea is not to create copies of the app to run, but to open the app from the terminal as

open -n <filespec of .app file>, e.g.:

open -n ~/Documents/MyGame.app
