Hi all,
so I use ISBoxer and have a G13 gamepad which I have 2 keys mapped to for moving my alts. My issue is that I get a lag between hitting the key and the team moving, this lag varies by window, so if I strafe the team three to four times in a row they start to move apart from each other!
How are you guys moving your teams? Is there anything in ISBoxer I can do to stop the lag or is there something I am missing here? It causes me a lot of issues in Garfrost and also the current Ahun boss.
All help appreciated.

Do you not have them on follow rather than moving independently?

Have you checked out your latency on all your clients crowd? Could be ISP lag and if that's the case you need to find a way to improve your latency.

All toons are showing as around 50ms latency, although I have often thought ISP lap was the issue. I also implimented the latecny fix posted here a while back, none of it helped :(

Hrm, well 50 is great so that isn't the problem.

Got all your drivers updated especially video?

Only other thing I can think of right now is do you have your frames limited in your slaves? Maybe try playing around with the limit- raise it up by 5- lower it by 5 see if it helps.

90% of the time this is 1 of 2 things:

Performance lag on the PC overall causing some variation in movement.
Input lag caused by your software or hardware KM

The former can usually be attenuated by adjusting settings lower or capping framerates.

The second can be a real problem. Obvious things to check here are that your WoWs are all set to low process priority and your software KM is set to high priority. Hardware (wireless) setups can suffer from latency and missed keystrokes if they're low on battery or one or more receivers are too far from the device.

Lots of things to check. I'd start by limiting framerates (MAXFPS) on all clients and turning down details and see if that helps. If it does help immediately, then you're just overtaxing your system and it's an easy fix. :)
