What happened to my framerate??

[Multibocks]

Hi everyone,

New to this so be a little understanding please. Anyways I have a dual core 2.4ghz, 2GB ram, 8800GTX machine connected to a dell 30" monitor (2560X1600). Before I found out about dual-boxing.com I ran just two windows of WoW. I had zero problems and my framerates were unlimited. Then I found this forum.....

Ok so what I did: I downloaded keyclone and setup my 30" to display 5 windows (3 across top and 2 on bottom half), however I did not actually play wow. I just loaded it up and congratulated myself on getting that to work. Then I started up my normal 2 windows of WoW(closed keyclone) and now whichever window is NOT the focus has framerates of like 10! What the hell? What happened?? I tried disabling all video extras and received no improvement. Help please! ?(

Keyclone has a command that lets you change the maxfps. I'm guessing you changed this to 10? :P

To fix it via Keyclone. (Open keyclone) Setup > Command Editor -> click on your setup names -> change fps.
To do it in WoW? It is something like /console setmaxfps #. # being the number. (also /console setmaxbkfps # - meaning when it isn't the active window it will stay at the fps you desire)


(Love the monitor though)

p.s Welcome to DB.com

Ah, I have my fps set in Keyclone at 45 and setmaxbkfps = 5 (just like he shows you in the video)

He didnt really explain what setmaxbkfps was, just said to set it to 5. I guess that is the fps limit for when that window isn't active? Makes more sense now, thank you!

Yep, makes it easier for people to walk through cities and such. Take care.
