ShiftAM Documentation
Everything you need to know about setting up, launching, and managing accounts with ShiftAM on Windows.
1. Getting Started & Windows Setup
ShiftAM is packaged as a standalone 64-bit Windows desktop executable. No prerequisite runtimes or Python environments are needed.
Requirements:
• Windows 10 (Build 19041+) or Windows 11 64-bit
• Standard Roblox Player installed from the official Roblox website
• Administrative permissions only if installing to C:\Program Files (portable mode recommended)
2. Encrypted Vault & Cookie Management
Your account credentials and .ROBLOSECURITY cookies are kept securely in an encrypted local database using AES-256 GCM.
How to Import an Account:
1. Open ShiftAM and navigate to the "Accounts" tab on the sidebar.
2. Click "+ Import Cookie" or "Add Account".
3. Enter your account username and paste your .ROBLOSECURITY cookie token.
4. The Account Checker immediately validates the token against the official Roblox API and displays the account's age, Robux balance, and avatar thumbnail.
5. Your token is encrypted with your master vault key and saved to your local drive.
3. Multi-Instance Launching Workflow
ShiftAM leverages native Windows mutex bypass hooks so you can run two or more concurrent Roblox client processes on the same computer.
Launching Multiple Accounts:
1. Open the "Launch" tab on the left sidebar.
2. Check or select the accounts you wish to launch from your vaulted list.
3. Choose your destination mode:
• Game (Place ID or Experience URL)
• Private Server (VIP server link or code)
• Job ID (Specific server instance ID)
• Join Person (Username to follow into game)
4. Adjust the "Wait between accounts" slider (recommended 5s - 10s to ensure clean game client initializations).
5. Click the primary "Launch" button. Each client will spawn in sequence.
4. FPS Uncapping & Background Throttling
By default, the standard Roblox client locks render framerate to 60 FPS. ShiftAM allows you to unlock framerates or optimize resource usage:
• Unlocked FPS: Set to 144, 240, or Unlimited for ultra-smooth gameplay on high-refresh-rate monitors.
• Background Throttling: Automatically lowers background client windows to 15 or 30 FPS. This saves immense GPU power, VRAM, and CPU utilization when running 5+ instances simultaneously.
5. Discord Webhooks & Event Notifications
You can configure ShiftAM to send real-time alerts directly to a channel in your Discord server:
1. Go to "Settings" -> "Webhooks" in the desktop app.
2. Paste your Discord Webhook URL.
3. Toggle the events you want to monitor:
• Launch Successful
• Disconnect / Game Crash Watchdog
• Daily Account Balance & RAP Summary
4. Hit "Send Test Webhook" to verify communication.
6. Troubleshooting & Common Questions
• "Windows protected your PC" (SmartScreen): Because this is a fresh testing build, Windows SmartScreen may show an unknown publisher warning. Click "More info" and select "Run anyway".
• Game crashes on second launch: Ensure "Multi-Instance" is enabled in Settings and set a longer delay (e.g. 8-10 seconds) between launches on slower machines.
• Cookie expired notice: If you log out manually from a web browser, Roblox invalidates that session token. Re-extract your fresh .ROBLOSECURITY cookie and update the account in your vault.
