Lax..how did your beta go?

Any news on getting swtor boxing working on one PC ? I have a new rig coming this week, so if i have to box with two PCs I can. Would rather do it on one though 8)

Not yet, I started looking into it but it doesn't appear to be as simple as it is with most games

Still working on this? Thinking about purchasing ISBoxer based on if it will work on one PC or not.

Same here, would appreciate your insight alot! How do you find your Beta Weekend so far?

Still working on it. SWTOR is pretty unique as far as its single instance limitation, and weekend betas are hardly ideal for having time to do this properly ;)

Keep up the good work mate! We have faith in you! Also, if you like, I can provide you with the means to play in a more frequent schedule.

I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that yes, I have it working on one PC with ISBoxer.

The bad news is that due to SWTOR's multi-process design, standard Window Layouts with Instant Swapping enabled are limited in function -- meaning that smaller windows cannot simply be scaled down in this game like we do with other games. SWTOR will only render to a portion of the window of an instant-swapped, scaled-down window.

Everything else looks like it's fine at the moment, including Video FX. Therefore my recommendations for window layouts at the moment will be a) anything with instant swap disabled (or already all same size) or b) simulated via Full Screen Stacked plus a dxNothing window. (dxNothing is just a blank window for you to place outputs in. 1-monitor example: http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1533 2-monitor example: http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=1222)

This might speed up the development of pseudo-Window Layouts that make more use of Video FX. ;)

Anyway, I should have something for you guys to try out today. Stay tuned. :)

@Lax

I can read your previous post as many times as I manage to and all I see are good news ;).

TY Lax!

Lax:

Did you have to do this is a VM? or did you download the game to 2 directories? i am stuck with the reg issues that wont allow multiple isntances running.

Let us know :)

Thanks

i was finally able to get 3 box going on multiple machines. Running into a lag/delay issues between issuing commands. Once i get that sorted i think it will be do-able.
