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
- Open Steam
- Find INFERNA in your library
- Right-click on INFERNA
- Select "Manage" → "Browse Local Files"
- Copy ALL files from the game folder
- 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
- Start your first game instance normally through Steam
- Navigate to your backup folder
- Run
INFERNA.exe
directly from the backup folder - 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:
- Delete the old files in your backup folder
- Copy the updated files from Steam folder again
- This ensures your backup has the latest version
