# FAQ

## Is ClickReducer A Bot?

No. ClickReducer does not make gameplay decisions. It maps user key presses to user-configured outputs and sends normal Windows input to assigned windows.

## Does ClickReducer Inject Into The Game?

No. ClickReducer does not inject into the game process and does not read or write game memory.

## Why Does It Focus Windows Instead Of Sending In The Background?

The tested background message paths did not register reliably in the supported client. ClickReducer uses foreground Windows input because that matches the manual action the user is replacing: focus a window, press a key, move to the next window, return to main.

## How Is This Different From Full Multiboxing Suites?

Full multiboxing suites usually include broad features such as teams, mapped keys, layouts, launch workflows, and more advanced multiboxing tools.

ClickReducer is intentionally narrower. It is a lightweight helper that accepts triggers only from Box 1, maps those triggers to per-box outputs, performs a short focus sweep, and returns to Box 1.

## Does ClickReducer Work With Any Game?

Not currently. This release targets one supported game-window format. General-purpose process targeting would need additional UI, filtering, safety checks, and testing.

## Can One Shortcut Open All My Game Windows?

ClickReducer does not launch the game. Open your game clients first, then use ClickReducer to assign the windows.

One shortcut or launcher is okay only if it creates separate normal game windows, each with its own taskbar button.

If a launcher keeps the clients inside another tool, wrapper, or container window, ClickReducer may not see them. In that case, open the clients separately or use a launch method that produces separate normal game windows.

For the simplest setup, copy your game shortcut once per account and make sure each shortcut opens a separate game window. A shortcut Target can look like:

```text
"C:\Games\Game\game.exe" patchme /login:EXAMPLE
```

## Does ClickReducer Need Administrator?

Only if the game is also running as Administrator. Windows blocks lower-privileged apps from sending input to higher-privileged windows.

## Does It Require .NET?

No. The normal `ClickReducer.exe` download is self-contained. Users do not need to install .NET.

Developers building from source need the .NET SDK listed in the project file.

## Where Are Settings Stored?

```text
%APPDATA%\ClickReducer\settings.json
```

Existing installs may also have older settings under the previous application folder name. ClickReducer will read those old settings if the new settings file does not exist.

## Can I Use Multiple Profiles?

Yes. Profiles are intended for different group sizes or different play modes, such as a full six-box profile and a smaller raid profile.

## Why Are Broadcasts Accepted Only From Box 1?

That is a safety rule. It prevents accidental broadcasts from a secondary box, the ClickReducer UI, a browser, or another application.

## Can A Rule Include Box 1?

Yes. If Box 1 is enabled for a rule, ClickReducer sends the mapped output to the main window as part of the sweep. If Box 1 is off, the trigger is swallowed and only the target boxes receive their outputs.

## Is This Allowed On My Server?

Rules vary by server. Review your server's rules before using any input broadcasting tool.
