Roblox-Multi-Instance-Script

Normal Instructions: (will automatically run at startup)

• Download this repository and unzip it
  • Green Code Button in Top Right -> Download ZIP -> Right click on file -> Extract All -> Extract
• Download Handle (a tool from Microsoft's Sysinternals)
• Open CloseRobloxSingleton.ps1 in a text editor
• Put the path to handle.exe in $HandleExe
  • Example: $HandleExe = "C:\Users\Clayel\Downloads\Handle\handle.exe"
• Save and close CloseRobloxSingleton.ps1
• Run Powershell (not Command Prompt) as Administrator (Task Scheduler/Handle requires Administrator permissions to function)
  • Open taskbar, type in Powershell, right click, hit "Run as Administrator"
• Navigate to the folder where the script is downloaded
  • Example: cd C:\Users\Clayel\Downloads\RobloxMultiInstanceScript
• Allow the script to be run as an Administrator
  • Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
  • Type Y or y to allow it to be run
• Run the schedule task script
  • .\ScheduleTask.ps1

You can confirm it is running by looking at the logs in CloseRobloxSingleton.txt.

The script schedules another script to automatically open on the computer's startup or when it awakes from sleep, and then run that script. This scheduled script will then automatically close the ROBLOX_singletonEvent event handle when it appears, allowing you to run as many instances of Roblox as you wish. It will continuously run, so if you close Roblox and open it again it will still close the event handle as normal. To stop the script, terminate all Powershell processes in Task Manager, and disable/delete the task in Task Scheduler.

Alternative Instructions: (must be run at every startup)

• Download this repository and unzip it
  • Green Code Button in Top Right -> Download ZIP -> Right click on file -> Extract All -> Extract
• Download Handle (a tool from Microsoft's Sysinternals)
• Open CloseRobloxSingleton.ps1 in a text editor
• Put the path to handle.exe in $HandleExe
  • Example: $HandleExe = "C:\Users\Clayel\Downloads\Handle\handle.exe"
• Save and close CloseRobloxSingleton.ps1
• Run Powershell (not Command Prompt) as Administrator (Handle requires Administrator permissions to function)
  • Open taskbar, type in Powershell, right click, hit "Run as Administrator"
• Navigate to the folder where the script is downloaded
  • Example: cd C:\Users\Clayel\Downloads\RobloxMultiInstanceScript
• Allow the script to be run as an Administrator
  • Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
  • Type Y or y to allow it to be run
• Run the script
  • CloseRobloxSingleton.ps1

The script automatically closes the ROBLOX_singletonEvent event handle when it appears, allowing you to run as many instances of Roblox as you wish. It will continuously run, so if you close Roblox and open it again it will still close the event handle as normal. To stop the script, close the Powershell window, or terminate all Powershell processes in Task Manager.

Due to Handle being Windows-specific, this script only works on Windows operating systems.

You can also verify it is working by downloading Process Explorer, running procexp.exe as an Administrator, typing in Roblox, and then looking at its handles. You will see ROBLOX_singletonEvent briefly appear as an Event before it is deleted by this script.

Generously made by ChatGPT in about 4 hours of debugging. (I certainly don't know how to code in Powershell's language, heh)
