The Run-Aways (Collecting Data)

[Robash]

I'll let you know when I get to nagrand, which should be in about 60 lvl's

On a more serious note, I've always used a separate /follow and I've never had my followers run away, but I've only been boxing for a few weeks

havent played after 2.3 but before that with separetad /follow macro I had run bug pretty often


5box on 1 pc with keyclone

This happens to me once in a blue moon the last time it happened the alts were running in circles around my main...not a straight line. it looked like I was putting on a show but it was really annoying. I have to go to each window and right click an area for them to move to and that resolves the problem, any keyboard input just holds them until the key is released.

[unit187]

I've got an idea. iirc Xzin was using mouse to move his toons, not keyboard. And he says that he wasnt getting the run bug. See my point? 8)

[Robash]

You could be on to something here, I never use the keyboard to move, always the mouse (except for some occasional turning/strafing of my clones)

I run a hardware setup, Vetra KM Vetra Broadcaster, I have 4 Clone PCs and a Main PC.

I have had two wierd bugs that happen reguarly enough for me to get pissed off:

If all my Shadowpriests are on follow and I mash my mindflay key before they have 'caught up to me' they will start casting when they get in range, stop casting (as if they are still trying to move to the stop position) then just start RUNNING for the hills.

I have also had this problem with my spread out macro (press num0, one goes left, right, forward, backward) and they just dont stop moving they keep on running and drown, die, aggro mobs, get me killed.

Also ANOTHER odd bug I get is sometimes my characters just stop being able to 'see' another character. I am sitting there staring at 5 LCD's and on ONE clone he can only see 3 people not 5. I find I can fix this by either zoning or running the 'invisible' characters to a new location (ie moving from Aldor Rise to Terrace Of Light where you get the text appear in the middle of your screen) and running back causes the cloens to refind the missing people.

I bind my WASD to move on my main and totally unbound on my clones. I have arrow keys for movement on the clones and numpad0 as my spredout boring + sign formation.

Its really frustrating in PvP and makes me feel very much not in control of my characters. :/

I've only had this happen once, and only after 2.3. It was my third attempt on Nazan at level 60 (Suicidal, I know :P). Hit my star formation button and 3/4 characters got into formation, but the 4th ran straight towards Vaz. Managed to stop him by re-triggering the move forward button or reissuing the follow command (Don't remember which).

If you cant get you toon to stop, hit ESC and choose logout, wait 5-6 sec and then cancel.

Really annoyiong bug, happend to me several times when I pushed "move forward" and mouse out of the window. Not only when multi boxing but with 1 WoW window too.
If I jump on my flying mount, and press space to get up and mouse out from the window, he will continue to go up up up whatever I do.

@stats mostly
Well, theres an issue I have where sometimes a key gets stuck 'on.' and I have to figure out what key it is thats stuck on. Its pretty rare, and usually only happens to one comp at a time. Vetra /KM and Vetra Multiplier is what I'm using. It seems to happen more when I'm switching the KM while pressing a key. The ususal fix is to hit whichever movement key is stuck. Which can get pretty frantic heh. For attacking a mob while moving, i tap my 'formation' key or the 'back' key for my alts to break follow manually, then start casting. For this reason 'Q" is my formation button, while WSAD is my mains movement buttons. so its really quick to break follow.

I also had lots and lots of weirdness with keys when my multiplier was plugged into USB to PS2 y-splitters. Most of those went away by plugging the multiplier directly into the ps2 port and plugging the KM into the splitter...but the issues didn't go away, just moved to the KM. hehe. I'm probably gonna replace the USB y's with Y-keys eventually.

Our issues might be completely different. hehe. I really dont get the 'autorun into the distance' bug very often. except with my main when i switch while holding down W or something.

I also get the 'clones cant see main, but main can see clones' bug once a day or so. I ususally just /camp wherever I am, then log back in. it fixes it. Seems to be associated with lag in my case.

[The_Whack]

I select a target w/main and hit my hotkey to assist/focus.... thats when i sometimes get a runner.

I played 3 accounts windowed/no maximizer and just clicked the instance i wanted to view via the toolbar. I never had a runner. I played this way for a few months before upgrading to 5 accounts. W/5 accounts i started to use Keyclone Maximizer and now get the occasional runner....... related? dunno, just my experience.

5 accounts one Comp
Keyclone
Usually happens in instances.

My team actually wiped today in SFK cause of this bug... had a runner run through the kitchen and dining area aggro'ing approx 10 mobs.
