running 2 instances of F@H

[alphawolf010]

How can I get a second F@H application running on my T7200? I have a second folder seperate from the original, but it says that it can only run one instance of it.

You need to run the striped down console version. You can then just double click on the exe and it will run it's own process.

You can also run the SMP client if your computers work 24h/24h (the deadlines are very short)

You can get better points per day with the SMP client and you only need to run one instance.

To run two regular clients:

You can only run one GUI and one console or two consoles.

You have to configure a console to a different MachineID.

To reconfigure: make a shortcut to the console exe

Right click the new shortcut and select Properties

In the Target textbox, at the end of what is in there, add a space, a dash, and "configonly" without the quotes. Also add the local switch.

Here is how it should look:

C:\Fah\FAH5.04b.exe -local -configonly

If your path has a space in it the first part will be in quotes.

When you run this shortcut the client will reenter configuration. When you get to the question about Advanced Options answer Yes and you will get to where you can change the MachineID.
