Multiple steamvr at the same time on the same pc

[RISK]

Hi, I'm developing a new vr App and I currently own an Wmr headset

I'm using steamvr ofc to lunch it, but recently I've implemented the network feature as well but I can't run the application twice on my computer, mainly because steam only allow one app at the time

I know Oculus owners can use Oculus integration on one app and steamvr on another and test the network there but steamvr doesn't allow me to do so

Is there is any developer package that I can use that would allow me to test two instance of the app on one pc?

How about using the Windows Mixed Reality simulator?
Or run a second SteamVR in a virtual machine.

thank you for your reply but I think that wont fix it as the main issue is that app is build based on SteamVR so I need to test it while working with steamVR and i need to run it twice at the same time to test the network.

Vistual machine (VM) may work but everyone out there does not recommend that as it would create more issues because graphics card doesn't work well with VM, so I want to avoid that as much as possible.

Windows Mixed Reality simulator: not sure how is that helpful, I still need SteamVR to run the app, I've read about it doesn't seem to be capable of replacing steamVR based apps

Some people suggest sandboxie steamVR, not sure if it's against the rules or not but based on the rules of thumbs I don't think it would be able to connect to the headset

If you use the Windows Mixed Reality simulator and SteamVR in a virtual machine, then the virtual machine maybe won't need a good graphics card.
