Multi-client

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. On your desktop (or any preferred location), R-click > New > Folder. Name your folder "FHX multiclient".
2	Duplicate and prepare your game folders.	Locate your install location for FHX. R-Click the game folder > Copy. Paste the copy into the "FHX multiclient" on your desktop. Rename the pasted game folder to "FHX1". Open the FHX1 folder > R-Click FHX.exe > Rename > "FHX1.exe" Double-click FHX1.exe to run the client > Login with the account you want to use for that client. Repeat this step for each additional game client instance you want to have (max. 10).
3	Prepare your multiclient shortcuts.	Open the FHX1 game folder in your "FHX multiclient" folder. R-Click FHX1.exe > Create shortcut Copy the shortcut and paste it in the "FHX multiclient" folder, outside the FHX1 game folder. Repeat for each client instance you created in Step 2.
4	Create the multiclient batch file.	In "FHX multiclient", R-Click in open space > New > Text document Or open Notepad. Copy and paste the command block below into the txt file. Include a cd/start command for each client instance you want to open simultaneously. Save the file as "Launch FHX 3 clients.txt" and save to the "FHX multiclient" folder. Open "FHX multiclient" > R-Click "Launch FHX 3 clients.txt" > Rename > Rename the file to "Launch FHX 3 clients.bat" To edit it later, R-Click the .bat file > Edit with Notepad 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.	R-Click "Launch FHX 3 clients.bat" > Run as administrator Accept User Control prompt(s). For each client instance, click the "Start This" button on the "Already installed" prompts. Log in to each instance with the same accounts used in Step 2.
Enjoy playing multiple characters!
