you get 60% at level 20 now


I used to have this problem, when i used to alt tab. basically with both wows open one would lag when not the focused window.

so basically i looked at window A, good fps, no issue. Atl-tabbed to window B, same fps, no issue.
Set toon B to follow toon A, alt-tab to window A and run. after 200 yards toon B is slowly getting distanced and finally follow breaks.

i believe i worked around that issue by minimizing the background wow back in the days. (that was before i used any type of key broadcaster) and on a slower machine. Don't know if it's related to your issue

I think ZUB hit it on the head. The background instance is FPS limited and causing the character to fall behind. This used to happen alot in Shat during peak hours. The slaves couldn't update fast enough with FPS set really low. Losing follow happened alot then.

I am guessing the OP needs to limit the foreground FPS a little more so he can raise the background up enough to keep pace.

This also may depend on what kind of system the OP is running.

So if you reverse this, where the first character is following. Does the first character keep on running into the second character slowing down and then resuming. Almost like they have the carrot and the stick trinket, or high speed mount or something?

if you have both characters race each other, numlock down 3...2...1 and you watch them. Does one or the other teleport a bit and then catch up from time to time? I would think you need to reduce your graphic settings to the right most position and see if that helps.

I definitely see this (where the slaves will stop following) with flying mounts and crusader aura if the paladin is leading / being followed until i got a crazy system.

All the first mounts run at 60%, epic at 100%, normal flyer 150% swift Flyer starts at 280%

Thank you everyone for you replies. Yes the problem was the FOCUS. both wow window had to be in focus in order to remove this issue. So with keyclone maximizer I see both wow windows with one as normal and the other small window just to see. Now I use the same mount speed and with no problem.

Once again, thank you all for your time and replies!

Peace

and alcattle, I live in Seattle too!

Glad you figured it out, as it was real odd. Don't make us scratch our heads, some of us can't spare the hair.
I have lived in the Seattle area all my life. Currently I am near the north King line
