i'm trying to play as 5 characters, and i plan on making a sixth. i found a reddit post describing how to do this. i did eveyrthing it said. it works at first, but when i try to open the second .bin file after shutting down it shows the first set of characters from the first .bin file. i'm guessing it has somehting to do witht he .bat file because honestly the reddit post says to launch the .bat file, but i can't get it to open, it opens for a milisecond then closes

Im not sure what this walkthrough is all about, but the login_w has the info that links to the chars displayed in the pol login.

As each login_w has a specific set of chars, you just need to change the file to have other set of chars available in the pol login.

In practice, i log all chars from original login_w (all the way till the “Play” button, where its safe that pol wont read the login_w file), then replace it for another one with my other set of chars.

How you replace it, its up to you. I normally just keep both files in the folder with the name slightly different (login_w and login_w1 for example), then swap the names when im done with one set of logins

This happens when your file login_w gets corrupted.

Make sure to not mess with it till your login process is at least at the “Play” button (or outside blue pol screen), otherwise you eventually will break the file.

Also, make sure to create a backup

i open windower
i log in to my 4 accounts to the Play button
i rename the login_w folder to login_w1
i open another windower
it tells me to add my info, login etc
i log in my 5th character
i rename the login_w folder to login_w2
i then check to see if login_w1 still has my original 4 characters

Are you changing back the login_w1 to login_w?

Pol code looks for a file named "login_w". If it doesnt find it, it will create a new one. If it do find it, it will load it.

If i followed what you mentioned above, the original 4 chars are in the login_w1 file (not folder) but then the Pol wont ever open it (because its name isnt "login_w").
