3. Press Start on the Patcher
4. Quickly Launch another Mabinogi Patcher
5. Go to Process Hacker
6. Press Ctrl+F
7. Type FV into the box
8. Press Search
9. Right click on the highlighted text and click Close Handle
10. Go to search box, type devcat
12. Right click on it and click Close Handle
13. Close Process Hacker
14. Press Start on the second Mabinogi Patcher
15. Enjoy running two instances of Mabinogi at once!
Note, If you're a vista.. Go to Hacker, "Show details for all processes"

Wow nice Alt lol

[rawk0r]

I personally support this, as I know that the Process Explorer Method no longer works for some people.

It's probably just me, but searching in Process Hacker takes a very long time ._.;
I just close the handles that needs to be closed.
Just double click on Client.exe and go to the Handles tab. The 2 handles you need to close are highlighted.

Does the handle "number" stay the same every execution of the game?

Your not the only one who it takes a long time for, sometimes it closes on its own about 5-6 times. There's an updated version but idk if im allowed to post zips here or even if someone would download it.. but that version works faster and doesn't close I suppose.

No. However, the two handles are very easy to spot in the list. They are they only ones under \BaseNamedObjects\ and Mutant. Also... gibberish line.

did all the steps and every time i tried to start the second client it wouldnt let me and kept coming up with two instances are running please check blah blah

These multiclient guides are well done, and they are useful to some people. The issue is this: There are MANY, MANY idiots, who spam the threads, repeat questions, etc etc. And as such this post will remain unstuck since, those who want it will find it, and those who do it once will be able to refer back, without the BS of spam etc. I hope you understand.

after you click start the first time, open the patcher again, so you should have the client starting up and a patch wating for you to press start. once your at the title screen follow the other steps about closing the handles then press start on the second patcher. if you try opening a new patcher once the client is up and running youll get that message.

It's not rocket science people, do you have to have everything spoon fed to you? I put the guide for people who couldn't get it to work but it seems some people still cannot comprehend the guide.. Put in a picture guide for who cannot do it or even understand the guide.

Also, what's this talk of patchers? Why not direct launch?
