Running Two FiveM Clients -cl2

Step 1: Locate the FiveM Executable

By default, FiveM is installed at:

C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\FiveM\FiveM.exe

Step 2: Create Two Separate Shortcuts

  1. Right-click FiveM.exe
  2. Select Create shortcut
  3. Rename the shortcuts:
    • FiveM - Client 1
    • FiveM - Client 2

Step 3: Add the -cl2 Launch Parameter

Only the second FiveM shortcut needs to be modified.

Client 2 (Second Instance)

  1. Right-click FiveM - Client 2
  2. Select Properties
  3. In the Target field, append -cl2 after the closing quote

Example:

```text
"C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\FiveM\FiveM.exe" -cl2
```

Replace `<YourUsername>` with your actual Windows username.
  1. Click OK

Step 4: Launch the Clients

  1. Start FiveM - Client 1
  2. Wait until it fully loads
  3. Start FiveM - Client 2

You’re now ready to run two FiveM clients simultaneously.
