Updated Guide 10/03/2022
This guide will teach you how to bypass EverQuest's truebox code for boxing on any Progression server including the new server Yelinak, this will allow you to box as many characters as you like. So you can build those mage armies, and stack some krono.
Requirements:
*Dual Boxing = 2 Computers, 1 Monitor, 1 Mouse/Keyboard, 1 USB Capture Card (Even the $4 wish/amazon ones work great)
*3 Boxing = 3 Computers, 1 Monitor, 1 Mouse/Keyboard, 2 USB Capture cards.
*4 Boxing = 4 Computers, 1 Monitor, 1 Mouse/Keyboard, 3 USB Capture cards and so on..
First Step - Downloading the tools...
1. Download, and Install OBS Studio (I am using the latest version 28.0.3 64bit - DOWNLOAD) (Free)
1b. Download, and install ProtonVPN, or another VPN Client of your choice. (I will explain more later)
1c. Download, and install Multiplicity. I use version 3.44, but you can use the latest version. (This allows you use to use 1 keyboard/mouse across all computers)
1d. Download EQBoT/AutoHealer to easily control your slaves/boxes.
Step Two - Connecting all your capture cards/OBS Studio
2a. Simply, plug in your USB Capture card. (Plug this into your main PC, the one with the monitor) I personally use this cheap one at the time of the post its only $8.99.
2b. Connect your slaves PC via HDMI to that USB Capture card. Turn on Slave PC.
2c. Load up OBS Studio, once you get to the scene page. It should look something like this:
2d. To show your other computer (Boxes) simply right click on the black box in the middle. Select Add.
This will popup.
Just hit Ok.
You should see your slaves PC now. (I'm already in the game)
Hit OK.
Now for the awesome part, you can right click on Scene ---> Windowed Project (Scene)
This will bring up a whole new tab/window with your desktop/box. Which you can fully resize!
Load up EverQuest, and now you are dual boxing! You can simply alt tab to your characters. Repeat this for as many boxes as you like.
Step Three - Multiplicity
3a. This is Optional, but it will make your boxing experience much better by simply using 1 keyboard/mouse across all your toons. Simply download the program on all your boxes, install and link them all together. Now you can discard all those extra keyboards/mouses.
Step Four - VPN
4a. This is a important step, and should not be missed. While you can play EverQuest without it on all the boxes. If you are using any type of automated EQ will disconnect you. To bypass, read below:
Bypassing Truebox Disconnects for Keypresses
1. Install a VPN on each machine, this will bypass the Disconnects you receive when you keypress too fast on multiple machines at once. This will also protect your IP from Daybreaks Servers.
Run a VPN on all Machines
A. Good free VPN with a nice free data cap would be https://protonvpn.com/download/ of course using a paid version would be faster, and better but this will get you going for free. If you are going the paid route, definitely shop around for some VPN deals as you can get lifetime, or yearly subs at a discounted rate sometimes. Just make sure the one you pay for, you can use on multiple devices.
B. The free version of ProtonVPN unfortunately is locked for 1 device per account, but you could create a few accounts to circumvent this. So if you have 5 machines, just create 5 accounts.
