I'm using lutris to run Guild Wars and I'd also like to run guild wars toolbox which needs to be run after guild wars has already started.

I tried running guild wars and toolbox as different lutris installs but toolbox cant see the guild wars process.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

I'm not sure if this'll work, but you could try to set the wine prefix to the same base dir for both of them.

That's what I do, actually. It's worked extremely well for me anyway.

"Run EXE inside Wine prefix"

It might not work, though. I've tried to use a similar tool with Snowrunner, it found the process, but didn't actually work.

Just tried this and it did open toolbox but toolbox got an error. I'm going to try make a script to launch them together.
