Hey guys, I'm not new to multi-boxing, or keyclone, but I can't think if, for the life of me, whats going on.
I'm tri-boxing at the moment with two monitors. After a while of playing, some, or all of my game windows freeze. Let me be clear, the game does NOT freeze, just the picture in the window. The game has not crashed, and is still going on behind the frozen screen.
Any suggestions? Rob?
UPDATE:
So now sometimes it recovers and the screen goes back to normal, sometimes it doesn't...
Is it random, or does it happen at certain times - i.e. loading in between zones, like the when on the zeppelin?
to be honest, it sounds like a hardware issue.
maybe your graphics card is overheating... or maybe your system memory is a bit flaky
when you say 'after playing a while'... that implies the hardware could be heating up and/or the game has been building up loads of memory usage. if you exit the game and restart, does this fix it? does it only fix if you reboot?
It happens randomly. I don't think it's my video card.. its happened after only playing for 5-10 minutes on a fresh start-up where my computer was off for a few hours..
I thought maybe it was my X-perl... but it happens with all my mods disabled as well..
think I found the problem.. did some poking around and found out ATI released a new version of catalyst, updated, and so far so good. Now I'm just getting really bad latency...
I have a similar problem - i have 2 monitors and when I use the PiP function one of the windows freezes - for me it eventually crashes. I'm staring at a white window now where my warrior viewpoint used to be. the other ones are running fine. if I don't use the pip it runs fine.
so this is a hardware issue....? ugh. Do I contact the manufacturer and mail the graphic card to them? This stinks. I use an overclocking utility to overclock the fan on the card (not the gpu) so I would hope it stays cool enough.
