Two Monitors - question

[StrikeQ]

I just recently started two boxing (and got dual monitors). I have one character on each screen. I've noticed that which ever monitor doesn't have the "focus" sort of skips when the characters are turning. Is this normal? Or is there a way to fix it.

Q6600 @ 3.6GHz
4GB HP2-6400 DDR2 800MHz 4-4-4-10
8800 GTS (G92) 785/2250/1961

Are you controlling movement for both by passing keys?

And do you mean that the second character drops its FPS?

[StrikeQ]

I have the second one on follow. FPS doesn't drop both stay ~80+ it just isn't a smooth turn, it's jittery.

Basically when the character rotates on the monitor that doesn't have focus.

This is most likely to do with the algorithm that goes with follow.

Does it affect your gameplay at all?

Also, what is your latency to the server?

[StrikeQ]

Latency is 50ms on both characters (Sometimes one character will be at 200 while the other is 60).

Doesn't affect my gameplay, just an annoyance. I'll try rotating both characters via key passing w/o follow and see if it still happens.

Btw, even though in 2.3.2 they disabled the nagle algorithm you should still put the TcpAckFrequency registry entry to lower your ping even more (I was 150-300ms until doing it and I've been 50-80ms since unless the server starts lagging).

Edit: server finally came back up. Using the keys to rotate both characters doesn't make the screen skip. So you're right it has to do with /follow

Thanks for the help.
