Hello there.

I have been trying to dual box swtor and its becoming frustrating since the character on my second account seems to lag behind and stop following the char on my first account. Anybody having this problem and if so how to fix it? Im running 2 monitors btw and my ingame latency is 100ms.

Best Regards.

From my understanding it's a problem others are having too. The solution I saw was spam follow. Good luck!

Same problem here, follow is lagging badly now. I haven't found a solution other than spamming follow.

I just started dual-boxing TOR also, and I'm having the same issue. Like you, I've simply been spamming the follow key.

I only have one toon in this weekends test. This sounds new to me, last weekend my follow was working perfect.. on two PCs and on one. Were any of you boxing last weekend?

I was setting up ISPbox last weekend on sunday. Didn´t actually get to dual box. If its not working on this build its going to kinda suck at launch since this is the last build. Hopefully a patch will fix it again.

I wasn't dual boxing in last weekend's test. But, for me, anyway, follow is lagging horribly in the current build.

I didn't box last weekend, but I boxed in the weekend Beta prior to that (about a month ago). I'm boxing this weekend and follow is a pain right now, it breaks and lags constantly. Follow was fine a month ago.

BTW, this is a Bioware problem, it has nothing to do with ISBoxer. I'm not using ISBoxer. I'm using Input Director across two PC's.

It could be a lag in general problem.

Are the servers laggy?

Servers are very laggy. They are running some extra stuff on the back end for the final testing. I sent in a CS ticket just incase, to make sure there is a paper trail so if it continues i have a base point.

Next question then is, are companions behaving erratically?

If Companions are all screwed up as well then it is simply a lag issue. You have to remember that follow uses essentially the same sort of pathing that companions do. When the servers get really laggy, companions stop following properly or responding to commands properly. Additionally when you are boxing your other characters stop following properly.

In my case, companions and just about everything else is relatively lag-free. I'm only having problems with PCs following PCs
