I was referring to the steam_appid.txt problem running two different
mods. Valve put the appid in <mod>/gameinfo.txt if that's of help.
Running two different instances off the same install has never been
an issue for Unreal Engine games, we run hundreds of servers this
way. I don't know where you got the impression that you should never
run two servers from the same dir as that's simply not the case when
configured correctly.
