I've noticed its been almost a year since the last time a thread regarding the game "Perfect World" has been started, and so I've decided to start a new one instead of necroing an old one.
I am new to multi-boxing, and so I was very perplexed with the results shown when trying to dual-box the Malaysian version of Perfect World.
My setup is as follows: I have my PC with 2 instances of the game running on it, together with KeyClone. For convenience's sake, I have the games running in windowed mode, unfortunately (and I am not sure if thats standard) the game's window does not render while it does not have focus, which means I must alt-tab, or give it focus with the mouse to see actual updates on the other character.
And now the peculiarities begin. I've set up all of the appropriate KeyClone categories, but nothing appeared to be working. On closer inspection, I've realized most keys were fully functional, and only movement was impaired.
To elaborate, I could send any key from one app to the other, and they are received. However, when using the "wasd" keys (non-configurable) only the character directly controlled by me was moved. When trying to chat by inputting the sequence: "Enter,w,a,s,d", both characters had said "wasd". So those keys definitely register.
Is this a common phenomenon? Is it likely to be the result of a bug? Or a mistake I have made?
The more I read, the more I understand the ability to control my other toon as a puppet is obsolete, as what I actually want is to use the "follow" command as often as possible, but still, this bothers me.
Any one cares to shed some light on this problem?
