in isboxer, click on your character set and then slot 1.
on the right, theres a box asking for a hotkey, i usually put in F1 here.
do the same for slot 2 using F2
/win

Also, under window layouts. There is an option to only swap when you press the hotkey. I had to do this because sometimes i click in the small window ( through the video feed ) and it would swap, i don't like that, so I made it swap only when I press the hotkey.
I'm just driving both toons at the same time until there's a fix. Left hand on WASD, right hand on the arrow keys. If I have to run a far distance I throw them both on auto-run and just tap the directionals. It's easier with 2, but can't imagine how frustrating it would be with 4.
This is really bad and I sure hope they consider it a bug. I'm 4 boxing and I'm just hating it... When my inquisitors get a real range it'll be better for combats but it's awfull to go around like this.
The worst part is that what I see in the main's screen it's not what's "really" happening. Even if all slaves are getting stuck in place, I still see them following me. I have to have my eye permanently on the second screen where I have the video feeds....
Argh...
Maybe now I'll be talking sci-fi or gray area here (which I want to avoid if that's the case) but isn't there a way of:
- Somehow simulate a follow strobe like Jamba did;
- Keep spamming the actions/steps by keeping the hotkey always down
Using ISBoxer?

I started doing this last night. I was about to give up when I came and read this, it reminded me of how I boxed my cleric and warrior in EQ BEFORE /follow was in. I drove them both at the same time with two keyboards and auto run. I remembered loving multiboxing and the connivance of having a pocket healer. Once /follow went in, It was a dream come true, and every MMO since has had a functional /follow.
So not having follow working is a pain when your used to it working. The fix listed here allowed me to run long distances ( a ton of long runs in this game) All that being said, it still feels like work getting around, but its way better than spamming the up>follow keybind every few seconds. I found when i was at my destination I could use the follow tapping to move from objective to objective, and use the duel steering/autorun method for long runs.
I know this is cold comfort for your four boxers. I can only recommend leveling sets of 2 for a few days, and hope a fix goes in soon. The plan to do maintenance before live, so i hope they have this and other bugs on the plate for fixes soon.
They're doing maintenance on the morning of the 19th. Presumably this'll get patched.
I've seen like two posts in the forum about this. Not even sure they've "noticed it".
It certainly is a bug when we take into account the way follow breaks but so far there's no official ackowledgement about it.
I'll open a ticket IG as soon as my 3h queue ends :D
I wish you are right though, as this is a fun spoiler :p
Cheers,
