Since patch 7 came out, whenever I change which toon has focus on my main screen it causes a UI reload. This did not use to happen. I don't think I changed anything in my setup. My 2 screens are different resolutions but that never mattered before. I am using hotkeynet to draw and position the screens.
Can anyone give any advice on why this is happening or how to stop it?
Thanks.
It's happening because your game clients are changing resolution in such a way that the game wants to force a reload of the UI. This isn't something that is new with patch 7.0, but I guess Blizzard decided to expand upon it—I imagine there's something new in the UI which requires this.
If you want to avoid it, then I assume you could always just set your game clients to be the same resolution, or, if they're not already, use resolutions with the same aspect ratio.
If you are running the "follower" clients at a lower resolution to save CPU/GPU resources, that's not really needed. Take a look at the renderscale option, as outlined in this thread.
Thanks, but I don't think it's a resolution issue. The resolution is set at custom. When I change it it goes back to custom when I restart the game client. When I have a single game client open and all add-ons disabled, the UI reload happens when I resize the screen. I.E. When I maximize or restore the game window.
Is this not a resolution change??Quote:
