Multiclient network?

Post #1 »

I'm running multiple accts and I am enjoying it. I am using AC Multi Client software from silos toybox. However, I notice that I lose connections quite often when i command !prim to all my char or anytime that I go through portal. Takes awhile for them to load and such. Is there network setting that I can adjust to make it better? Its kinda boring to relog those char that lost connections or times out etc. I have all ports open from 9000-9013.

You ONLY have 9000-9013 open?

Since the July Network Layer Patch AC uses a 20 port range per client.

In Ac Multi set 9000, 9025, 9050 etc.


You can also check out Thwarg-Launcher

or the shortcut method

Both let you multibox with 1 single install rather than 1 per client.


However, if this is happening on portal it is likely due to area loads.
If your landscape textures are above medium, set them to medium or lower.
After medium uses ToD textures which suck up more resources.



Fun fact - You can use ports 5000 to 32700.
With 25 port spacing that's a limit of 1108 clients on the network.

Well that works well... I changed my firewall port from 9000 to 9020 according to that link u gave to me. And then I set my multiclient port 25 each apart. All my setting are medium as before so nothing change on that. Improved allot, thanks!

When Sev said to open 9000-9020 he was referring to a single client.

If you set your firewall open to 9000-9020 but set your ports to 9000, 9025, 9050, 9100.. Then you put 3 clients outside the range of your firewall.
