Welcome fellow developers! In today’s blog, we will be addressing a common challenge that many of us face – the lack of a second person to test our scripts. But fear not, I have found a solution and I’m excited to share it with the community. In this blog, I will guide you through the process of running Multiple FiveM Clients In One PC seamlessly.
Before we dive into the details, I want to emphasize the importance of sharing this video with your fellow developers, subscribing to the channel, and hitting that like button. By doing so, you’ll stay updated with more fantastic FiveM scripts and enhancements.
Now, let me introduce myself. I’m Brave, and I’ve been a developer for over four years. With my team, we have managed servers with over 400 players simultaneously in-game. So, you can trust that the solution I’m about to present has been tested and proven.
Setting Up Multiple FiveM Instances
Running multiple FiveM instances on a single PC can be a valuable tool for developers who lack a second person to test their scripts. By following these steps, you’ll be able to seamlessly run two FiveM instances on your computer.
Locating the original FiveM application
To begin, locate your original FiveM application. Right-click on it and select “Open file location.” This will open the folder where the application is stored.
Creating a shortcut for the original application
Once you’re in the application folder, right-click on the FiveM application and select “Create shortcut.” This will create a shortcut for the original application.
Modifying the properties of the shortcut to add the second instance
Next, open the properties window of the shortcut. In the properties window, you’ll see the “Target” location of the file. Here’s where the magic happens – add the following after “X” with a space before “-cl2”.
For QB core users, there’s an additional step. Navigate to the QB folder, then QB core, and open the config file. Change the “QB config server check duplicate” setting to “false” to disable the check for duplicate Rockstar licenses when joining the server.
Explanation of the steps and demonstration
By following these steps and modifying the properties of the shortcut, you now have two FiveM instances ready to go. When you launch the second instance for the first time, you may notice some downloads and experience a bit of lag or freeze during startup. If this happens, simply quit and start again.
Once both instances are running, you can control both characters from a single PC. However, keep in mind that you may encounter various bugs affecting both characters, such as weather desync. It’s important to use the admin menu and the “bring” option to bring both accounts together if you encounter the invisibility bug.
Running multiple FiveM instances on a single PC can greatly enhance your testing and development capabilities. Now you can test various interactions and actions between the two instances and improve your scripts with ease. Don’t forget to hit that like button, share this video with fellow developers facing the same issue, and subscribe for more valuable FiveM insights. Happy scripting!
Adjustment for QB Core Users
If you are a QB Core user, there are a few additional steps you need to follow to adjust your settings.
Explanation of QB Core
QB Core is a popular framework used by many developers. It provides a set of tools and functionalities that can enhance your FiveM experience.
Navigating to the QB Core folder and modifying the config file
To make the necessary adjustments for QB Core, you need to navigate to the QB folder and then open the config file. This file contains various settings that you can modify to customize your experience.
Changing the QB config server check duplicate setting
One specific setting that you need to change is the “QB config server check duplicate” setting. By default, this setting is enabled, which means that the server checks for duplicate Rockstar licenses when you join. However, for running multiple FiveM instances on a single PC, you need to disable this setting by changing it to “false”.
Restarting FiveM for the changes to take effect
After modifying the config file, you need to restart FiveM for the changes to take effect. This ensures that the new settings are applied and that you can seamlessly run multiple instances of FiveM on your PC.
Launching Multiple FiveM Instances
Now that we have set up multiple FiveM instances on a single PC, let’s go through the process of launching them and joining the game with both characters. Follow these steps to get started:
Opening the original FiveM application
First, locate the original FiveM application on your computer. Right-click on it and select “Open file location” to access the folder where the application is stored.
Opening the second instance using the shortcut
In the application folder, you’ll find the shortcut we created earlier. Double-click on the shortcut to launch the second instance of FiveM.
Addressing potential lag or freeze during startup
When you launch the second instance for the first time, you may experience some lag or freezing during the startup process. If this happens, simply quit the application and start it again. This should resolve any initial performance issues.
Joining the game with both characters
Once both instances of FiveM are running, you can now join the game with both characters. Control both characters from a single PC and test various interactions and actions between them.
Keep in mind that you may encounter some bugs affecting both characters, such as weather desync. If you come across the invisibility bug, use the admin menu and the “bring” option to bring both accounts together.
Running multiple FiveM instances on a single PC can greatly enhance your testing and development capabilities. You can now easily test your scripts and improve them with ease.

Interactions Between Multiple Characters
Now that we have successfully set up multiple FiveM instances on a single PC, let’s explore the interactions between the characters and address any potential bugs or issues that may arise.
Bringing both accounts together using the admin menu
If you encounter the invisibility bug, where one character becomes invisible to the other, you can use the admin menu to bring both accounts together. This will ensure that both characters are in the same place and can interact with each other.
Addressing the invisibility bug
The invisibility bug is a common issue when running multiple FiveM instances on a single PC. By using the admin menu and the “bring” option, you can easily resolve this bug and continue testing and developing your scripts without any hindrance.
Testing actions and interactions between the characters
With both characters in the game, you can now test various actions and interactions between them. This includes testing dialogue options, performing actions simultaneously, and evaluating the behavior of scripted events with both characters present.
Mentioning potential external bugs or issues
While running multiple FiveM instances on a single PC can greatly enhance your testing and development capabilities, it’s important to be aware of potential external bugs or issues that may affect both characters. These can include weather desync, synchronization issues, or conflicts between scripts. It’s important to thoroughly test your scripts and address any bugs or issues that arise.
By following the steps outlined in this blog, you now have the ability to seamlessly run multiple FiveM instances on a single PC and test your scripts with ease. Remember to use the admin menu to address any potential bugs or issues and continue improving your scripts. Don’t forget to share this valuable information with your fellow developers and stay updated with more fantastic FiveM insights. Happy scripting!
