Cannot use Dungeon Finder while Multiboxing

[Megathor]

Hey, I've been multiboxing a little, and am getting used to it now, however I'm having issues using the Looking for Group feature. I can use it with one character at a time, but if I load two accounts, queue for a group, and accept invite with both characters, both of them get stuck on the loading screen of the instance. I can get bcak in game by forcing both to quit, and reopening my wow window, but that's not an ideal solution. I'm currently launching two isntances of the same exe.
Is there a solution to this? My hardware is an i7@2.8GHz, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD and an ATI HD 7750, running windows 7 64 bit.

If you need any more information, let me know! :)

Sounds to me like you've got an add-on that doesn't like to be loaded multiple times on multiple clients. This can usually happen with add-ons that read the combat log -- Like DPS meters.

I'm running Recount (only because I haven't disabled it yet) Jamba, and Zygor. I'll disable Recount in a few minutes and see how it works, but I have a 20 minute queue so don't wait around for the response!

I haven't seen your particular symptoms, but I have had several problems running Zygor on multiple accounts. And it's a real cpu hog. These days I only run Zygor on a single toon -- don't really need it on the toons I'm not driving.

[Megathor]

I ditched all except zygor and jamba on p1, and jamba opn p2, works now! Thanks!

[Megathor]

Actually, I just reenabled Zygor, so now I'm running Zygor and Jamba on both characters. Having Zygor on P2 means he'll auto gear himself, but you're right, it's a massive resource hog. I use AddonCP on my main (single char) and disable Zygor when I'm raiding, it's the only addon I do it to.

[rfarris]

I've corresponded with Zygor about being able to enable only certain parts of the guides (like the auto-gear function) but it's not currently on their radar.

[Saqor]

I am not familiar with auto-gear from Zygor, but maybe Jamba's item-bar could be a stopgap solution? Of course that's assuming you're using the same classes, which I just realized is quite an assumption. Oh well, no harm in the suggestion.

Or else turn on full repeat and type /equip newgear !

I believe the addon ItemChoice is also handy for this purpose.

[rfarris]

ItemChoice doesn't show up on either Curse or WowInterface, but as I remember, it simply shows you the best piece of gear that is available as a quest reward. Neither that nor /equip does anything like what the Zygor auto-gear functionality provides. Auto-gear is a sort-of in-game function that looks at all your gear and selects the best gear in your bags slot-by-slot and if it's not already equipped offers to equip it for you. It's not perfect - for some classes and specs it is downright horrid - but for some it is terrific while you're leveling.

OneChoice? (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/onechoice)

[luxlunae]

OneChoice, yes it automatically selects the most appropriate piece of gear, and adds a "and equip this when you get it" turn in button to your quest interface.
