Multi-client is where one player runs multiple instances of the game client to control two or more characters. This is technically an exploit of the game client, but it has become commonplace, especially at lower levels, due to the smaller population.
Accounts
When setting up accounts, if you have a Gmail address, you can branch your email address without needing to create numerous email accounts. This is done by adding "+" between your email and @ in the address. Register each account.
Example: myemail@gmail.com -> myemail+fhx001@gmail.com
Client setup
Setting up the multi-client requires duplicates (or clones) of your game folder with a renamed executable (.exe).
| # | Step | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Set up a multi-client folder. | This step is not required, but is included for easier setup steps.
|
| 2 | Duplicate and prepare your game folders. |
|
| 3 | Prepare your multiclient shortcuts. |
|
| 4 | Create the multiclient batch file. |
Command block: @echo off cd "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\FHX multiclient" start FHX1.exe.lnk cd "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\FHX multiclient" start FHX2.exe.lnk cd "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\FHX multiclient" start FHX3.exe.lnk exit |
| 5 | Launch multiclient. |
|
| Enjoy playing multiple characters! | ||
Notes
- New clients cannot be launched if you already have some active. To open more clients, all active ones must be closed and relaunched as a group.
- The maximum number of clients a single IP address can host is 10.
Troubleshooting
- I get an error saying "You can only have one instance of the game."
- If you already have an active instance (a character is logged in), you must close that client and launch your clients as a group again. You can also launch them individually, as long as you launch all the clients you want before logging in a character.
- My shortcut isn't being recognized.
- R-Click your shortcut and select Properties. Verify the "Target" and "Start in" fields are pointing to the correct location for your renamed exe file.
