Having problem with Follow breaking randomly, Any suggestions?

[LancerX]

I have 5 clients running one PC and they are run very smoothly. I have ironed out most of the problems. I have TB Toolkit running so they follow after combat but one of my toons, in particular the number 5 toon always seem to lose follow randomly. I have to find myself constantly looking back and checking for all my toons, its annoying having to constantly check for my toons. Any suggestions on why I might be having this problem or anyone else having this problem?


BTW my follow macro looks like this

/target [target=focus]
/follow

Everything I use is revolved around focus macros. Could this be a problem?
Is there some kind of setting I can use or something maybe to help?

You could always stop for a second every once in a while and let your alts catch up. The problem is caused by lag, and several people have had this problem. I've seen it suggested to put increased speed on your alts but not on your main, but I haven't had experience trying it.

Not that it's causing any problems, you could use /follow focus for a simpler macro.

It's not a /focus problem. I use /focus for follow and /assist and don't have any problems.

I'd also check and see if you cleared all your movement keybinds. Might be inadvertently pressing a key that's breaking follow on the one character.

Limiting FPS on the background windows couldn't hurt if they are lagging behind, but if it's smooth I'm not sure what would be causing it. I personally spam my follow macro a lot to make darn sure I have my minions with me, but part of multiboxing is dealing with stragglers. No matter how perfect your set up you will once in a while have a detached limb.

I dont have any items that would increase ride speed. I did find out thought If i hold down the follow macro sometimes they just keep running straight until i let it go.

Make sure you've unbound / do-not-passed all movement keys on the alts. This includes modifier-keys like shift+w. I had the minion-runs-into-the-sunset problem a lot, completely gone once I got rid of all movement keys + modifiers. Turns out I hit a movement key and a modifier accidentally a lot.

What are the specs to your computer? (add your Hard Drive info)
Sounds like something is not up to par and causing your alts to lag out.

Try, logging into just 2 or 3 of your guys see if that lag happens. Then try 4, if it works but not on a 5th person then your computer cannot handle 5 very well.

Are your using Keyclone? Yse maximizer that way you can really see if your toons are falling behind.
