ISBoxer has lag, keyclone had no lag

Ok ive been using keyclone but getting tired of things not working right the way i wanted
So i purchased ISBoxer after hearing praise for it and withing 20 minutes ive got it to do pretty much everything i wanted without much effort.

My only problem is my main window lags pretty bad, getting about15fps - 20fps
windows 2-4 getting 30-40fps.
When i was using keyclone after adding 2gigs more ram i pretty much got no lag at all with the 5 accounts
I have no idea what i have done wrong for this to happen.

With keyclone i was running main game off 1 wow folder and the rest off another.
I seem to be missing this option with ISBoxer or have totally passed it

I'm sure Lax will be stopping by for an accurate response, but until then here's my inaccurate version :) perhaps it's due to the way ISBoxer renders the windows (which is the reason it can pass the mouse click so well, one of the highlights of the program)

Make sure to have setup your actual FPS settings in ISboxer as well as make your wows run on different cores of your computer.

I had the same problem till i did those things.

ISBoxer does not need multiple WoW folder because (if you used the quick wizard) it virutalized the config.WTF file for each toon.

Your slaves should not be getting a higher FPS then the master/main screen.

If you open up IS BOXER Toolkit.
Expand Character Sets, in the top pane.

Then check the lower left pane.
Click on the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc, under Slots.

You can see what you've set, if anything, for maximum frames per second.
This is the screen where you can set which cores handle which accounts as well.

I personally run best, if all physical cores are on all games, and with the logical cores not used for any game.
I believe I have my slaves set to a maximum of 20 FPS, with no limit on the main.

Thanks for the replies guys, got it working

Seems i didnt adjust the fps in ISBoxer so thanks for that
Got main running at 60fps most of the time, about 35-40 in towns
2-5 running at 20fps.


Anyone tell me or point to a guide on how to get them into formations
Also a button to turn on/off automatic follow, placed a button so all drink there mana but as soon as they sit there straight back up

Jamba has an option to disable follow or strobe follow, while drinking.

If you use normal follow, any slave independent movement will break follow.
And it will stay broken, until you start it up again.

There is a mapped key to enable and disable strobe follow, if you're using strobe.

Formations are pretty easy.
Create a mapped key, which sends something slightly different to each toon or slot.
One can get Q and another can get E, to spread out into a line.
You'll want to check the option to hold the hotkey, while the key is held.

You can even go with two Step formations.
Where on press 1, let's say Toons 2 and 3 receive Q, and then on press 2 only Toon 2 receives Q.
And then do the same, but Toons 4 and 5 receive E on the first press, and only one of them on the second press.
That will get you a line.

My signature has a decent section on mapped keys, editing them and creating them.
There are also good resources on isboxer.com, both video and written guides.
And then if you're not sure how to do something, you can go into the IRC on the ISBoxer site for live support.

Yep noticed the sig after posting.

Got the basics done with the keymap with 2 toons heading right 2 heading left.
Just need to try get the move one on second press like you said.

Thanks for the guide

Ok im going back on what i said that it worked with the lag fix
it hasnt

I have my main at 60fps but most often it lags really bad yet still saying 50-60
then 35 - 12 fps its just awful, then out of nowhere it will go down to 2fps (not often) and i have to re login to get to normal

With keyclone it never did this, once i got the extra 2GB ram so it must be ISBoxer that ive done something bad with


Ive dropped the graphics on the main account right down yet its still the same
basically all 5 accounts are at minimum on the graphics, not a way one should play the game.
I may have to go back to keyclone its just ISBoxers interface makes it so much easier for me.

IS Boxer does render all of the regions at the size of the largest region.
And then scales the smaller regions down to whatever size they are displayed at.

That gets you instant swaps between windows, no matter how strong/weak your system is.
Because they are already rendered at the larger size.
It also gets you extremely strong mouse broadcasting, for the same reason.

Depending on your system, that is definitely more strain on system resources...
Then a program like KC, which renders each window at the displayed size.

Still, it's not that drastic of a reduction.
If you're getting 50-60 FPS with KC, there is no way IS Boxer should drop you to 2 FPS ever.
50 FPS might drop to 40 FPS, or something similar.

Since Keyclone licenses are forever, it's pretty easy to test your system.
Give yourself a full playing session, but log in with the same number of accounts using KC.
See if you can make KC drop down to lower FPS in similar areas or after the same play time, etc.

If you want identical performance to keyclone, all you need to do is disable Instant Swap in your Window Layout. You're also giving up perfect mouse broadcasting by doing so.
