Running Multiple INFERNA Windows

This guide explains how to run multiple INFERNA game windows simultaneously using a single account. This is useful for playing multiple characters at once, trading between your own characters, or managing storage alts.

Why Use Multiple Windows?

• Multi-character farming - Level multiple characters simultaneously
• Self-trading - Transfer items between your own characters
• Storage management - Use alts as additional storage
• Buff characters - Have a support character buffing your main
• AFK activities - Fish or craft on one character while playing another

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Create a Backup Folder

Create a new folder on your PC where you'll store a copy of the game files:

• Recommended location: Desktop or Documents folder
• Name it something clear like "INFERNA_Backup" or "INFERNA_MultiWindow"

Step 2: Locate and Copy Game Files

1. Open Steam
2. Find INFERNA in your library
3. Right-click on INFERNA
4. Select "Manage" → "Browse Local Files"
5. Copy ALL files from the game folder
6. Paste them into your backup folder created in Step 1

Note: The game folder is typically located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\INFERNA

Step 3: Launch Additional Windows

1. Start your first game instance normally through Steam
2. Navigate to your backup folder
3. Run INFERNA.exe directly from the backup folder
4. Login with the same account on the second window

You can repeat Step 3 to open additional windows as needed.

Step 4: After Game Updates

IMPORTANT: After each INFERNA update through Steam, you must:

1. Delete the old files in your backup folder
2. Copy the updated files from Steam folder again
3. This ensures your backup has the latest version

Configuration Tips

Window Management

• Use Windowed Mode for easier management
• Resize windows to fit your screen layout

• Two alts: Split on secondary monitor

System Requirements

Running multiple windows requires additional resources:

Windows	Minimum RAM	Recommended RAM	GPU Load
1	4 GB	8 GB	Normal
2	8 GB	16 GB	~150%
3	12 GB	24 GB	~200%
4+	16 GB+	32 GB+	~250%+

Common Issues & Solutions

Advanced Tips

Macro Considerations

• Be careful with macros across multiple windows
• Game rules still apply to all characters

Trading Between Characters

1. Have both characters in the same location
2. Drop items in a safe spot or use storage
3. Pick up with the other character

Optimal Character Combinations

• Main DPS + Buffer - Wizard for support
• Farmer + Storage - One for grinding, one for muling
