Follow broke

[Meeo]

I didn't have any luck running multiple clients on one box, so I've spread mine between a laptop and my main box with a cable going to my alt monitor and using isboxer's network mode and synergy for mouse overs between the two systems.

I ran into a similar issue i tested 3 total clients on one machine during beta and it was fantastic. However going into release i could barely get 2 running due to either lag/delay/jitter. Once i moved the second client to my other machines and went back to multiple machines it cleared up quite a bit.

Ok. So here is my verdict on the follow bug.

The pathing has been dumbed down since I last played. It's very stupid now. This may be related to follow desyncing and getting stuck.

Following has also been nerfed. Autofollowing used to accelerate the following character so it would catch up to the leader (this was an obvious nerf as it was insanely exploitable in huttball, though nearly nobody ever used it). Grab the ball, target someone near the endzone and autofollow them and run off at almost 150% speed ;p

I just received an in game reply that it will be resolved in an upcoming patch.

Well that's all sorts of awesome.

Do you feel it was just a fluffy "This is what they wanted to hear and this response makes sense" reply, or a genuine one?

well I have run BT a few times with my BHs..In an instance.when you don't have to run too far.. its not bad.. I'm not leaving BT until I'm 14 though..going to enjoy it while i can.. then ill start my SIs. And hope this "upcoming patch" is soon!

Got everything running smooth. Aside from having to pop follow constantly to manually move the follower forward a step.

I figure they will fix it, no need to alienate multiboxers. Its all about the money in the end for them

I've never hotkeyed a window swap before. Anyone know how that is done?

Ya, had some serious issues making the transition from laptop/desktop to desktop only! Primarily they were display related but everything is golden now. Computer is beasting the game, 160FPS+ on my primary client ;p
