View Full Version : [ISBoxer] unpredictable window layouts

I'm now getting bizarre window layout issues. I've done everything - deleted/re-created the window layouts a dozen times, unplugged my second monitor and set it up again from scratch, updated video drivers, you name it.

Whenever I load up my group I get unpredictable results - I never know where they will end up. Sometimes the main gets stacked on top of an alt on the second screen, sometimes only 3 windows load (instead of 6), and quite often now I get the 6th window in a tiny little box displayed on top of my main. Sometimes the main toon ends up in a small window with the borders still on, sometimes half of them start minimized and I have click on each one to see where they ended up.

What's the deal?

I dont know how you managed to do that, assuming you didn't like install an old version of WindowSnapper, or Zanthor's old scripts over ISBoxer.

It's entirely possible depending on your configuration that one or more windows might *start* in the wrong position (e.g. the main window moved to its small position). This is not a major problem and is solved by switching through each character. You can reduce the unpredictability at startup by using a window layout that uses "Region 2 is used for session 1" where the main window has its own inactive slot.

As far as the 3 windows loading instead of 6, are you using the wow launcher? or is this launching wow.exe? This would usually indicate that there's a second process launching when you launch the game that Inner Space is treating as another session.

Sorry to be that guy. I'll try that ssetup. For now, this seems to help:

1. Don't touch the windows
2.. Wait until they are all loaded
3. Don't play with firefox and itunes and stuff
4. Think happy thoughts

If all else fails, I just switch windows a few times and they go in the right place.

Oh by the way my 0 frame rate freezing issue was (most likely) being caused by the fact that vsync was enabled on two of the alts. I turned it off and boom.

I'll have to have ISBoxer detect vsync, thanks for the note on that.

And yeah, during startup you want to hit launch and be patient while they all come up :) I'll get that solved in a future release
