I just got dual-boxing working yesterday i was pumped. i am using a mac and CloneKeys, which from what i can tell is a primitive form of Keyclone. The only method i have found viable for my character movement (currently only using 2 accnts) is putting the slave on follow and disabling the WASD keys on that accnts keybindings. I was wondering if it is at all possible to shorten or eliminate the following distance between characters to make life easier. thank you for you help!
Sadly there is not.
The distance between the lead toon and the toon folllowing it is an aggregate of 3 latencies...
1. The Lead toons connection to the server
2. The Servers latency in processing the location (this varies with time of day / load of server)
3. The Following toons connection to the server
if your connection to the server is 200ms, and the processing lag of the server is 150ms, then your total follow lag would be (2 * 200 + 150) 550ms. This is why on your lead toon, your follower is way behind you, but on your follower, it looks like your following closely.
The only control you have over this is to play on a server that is as near to you as possible.
