Steam Tips and Tricks - Multiple Accounts

Steam can be found at Steam

Steps to run multiple accounts on Steam on the same computer and have them reference different characters.

1. Add new windows user. Hit [Windows Key] -> Add User. Note: this account will be deleted later, so don't worry about making a live account if you can make a local account.
2. Log out of your PC
3. Log into the PC under the new clean Windows user account.
4. Download Steam (even if you already have it on your main Windows Account that you started from)
5. Create new steam account.
6. Download BitHeroes
7. Start BitHeroes.
8. Welcome Hero! Complete the first dungeon.
9. When possible Click the big Red K on the bottom right of the screen, this will launch Edge and open to Kongregate.com
10. Log into Kongregate.com with your Kongregate user account tied to your character.
11. On the open page: Link to Steam.
12. When complete: Log out and back in (may take 2-3 attempts and clicking on K again). You will get a screen that will allow you to choose either the new level 1-4 character you just created or the character who is tied to the Kongregate account.
13. Click the character you want to use.
14. Log out and back in.
15. Once completed and you have verified that the account is appropriately tied, log out of new windows account that you just created.
16. Go back to the main Windows account
17. Open Steam
18. Enter the new Username and Password in steam.
19. Verify that the account you just created was logged into steam.
20. Delete the new windows account, do not use the same one for the next character. You will have to make a new one to log into.
21. Rinse and Repeat until all Accounts are able to be logged into on steam using the username and password on the main Windows Account.

**You can use the Script Helper to quickly switch between your accounts. Copy the below into a .txt file. Name it after the account you want to log in and change the extension from .TXT to .BAT.**

Example: MelvinLogin.txt -> MelvinLogin.bat

Remove [SteamUserName] with your username [SteamPassword] with password

Example: start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -login MyUserName MyPassword

You will repeat this for all of your accounts until you have all of your Batch files completed.

```
::Shutdown Steam
set steamProcess=steam.exe

taskkill /f /IM "Bit Heroes.exe"
timeout 3
taskkill /f /IM %steamProcess%

::Pause 20
Timeout 20

:startsteam
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -login [SteamUserName] [SteamPassword]
timeout 10
tasklist | findstr /i %steamprocess%
if ERRORLEVEL 1 (
@echo failed to start %steamprocess% Trying again.
GOTO :startsteam
)

::Pause 40
Timeout 40
:startBH
start steam://rungameid/666860
timeout 10

tasklist | findstr /i "Bit Heroes.exe"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 (
@echo failed to start "Bit Heroes.exe" Trying again.
GOTO :startBH
)

```

**Code Explained:**

Step 1: See if Bitheroes is running already, if so, kill it.

Step 2: See if Steam is running already, if so, kill it.

Step 3: Wait 20 seconds and restart Steam under the account you are trying to log into. If Steam doesn't start, try again until it does.

Step 4: Wait 40 seconds and start the Steam version of BitHeroes. If Bitheroes doesn't start, try again until it does. [1]
