So, I'm duel-boxing 2 mages and am running WoW on my decent laptop. I know that my laptop can handle more than 2 WoW's easy, but for some reason, when I load up the second WoW, it lags like a SOB. The strange thing is, only the second WoW lags, the latency is okay, but the framerate is 1fps.... all my graphics are turned down to a minimum on both WoW's.
Any suggestions?
check the fps on each. what are they?
The fps on the first one is 35-40, and the fps on the second is 1-4.
if you are using keyclone, go into the command panel and set the maxfpsbk to 5 and maxfps to 25. that should at least make it playable.
other then that, drop us your system specs and we'll check them out (cpu, grfx card, memory, etc)
RAM: 2.0 GB
Processor: 2.0 GHz
Graphics Card: nVidia GeForce Go 7800
OS: Windows XP Pro
Think maybe 2 WoW's is just too much for it? I tried your suggestion with the command editor with mild success.
you might also try reducing your graphics details

after that, consider dropping your screen resolution
You maybe have vertical Sync off, the game can really, really lag if you have it off. In the corner of your screen i hope you got Nvidia controll panel ( its next to the time and it looks like an intellect buff green icon ).
Rightclick that, go to Nvidia Controll Panel, open that up, Look in the left for 3d settings, click under that tab for Manage 3D settings, scroll all the way down and the last one at my computer says Vertical Sync.
Click it and turn it off ^^
I hope it works,

Maybe I'm just an idiot and not reading that right. Are you saying Vertical Sync should be on or off?Quote:

I'd say you should have it off, the screen could show some lines here and there but it's normal, and you gain more fps.
