The Run-Aways (Collecting Data)

[Zseth]

Just thought of something, those of who are using autorun, are you pressing numlock? If so, try not pressing numlock and use the side button on your mouse, which if you have a good gaming mouse it should have, and that should take care of it. I duplicated the runners using keyclone and numlock to try and solve this, and that is the only way I have seen runners. Hope this helps people.

I am pretty sure that WoW handles its own keyboard input in a slightly shaky way. Guildmates are reporting 'stuck' keys, such as modifier keys or just normal keys - and they are not boxing, just one account, one pc, no frills.

Usually the trick is to push the offending button again while having the WoW window focussed, thereby creating a key pressed and a key released event, which hopefully gets rid of the key down state for WoW.

This may happen more often with alt-tabbing, switching one keyboard between systems with software or hardware solutions, but it does happen even without any multiboxing.

I can only speak for myself, but I have completely unbound AutoRun and am still having issues. ops: If u read my posts above, refer to the ghosting incident that I had, which leads me to believe that it's not an auto run issue, but an incorrect follow issue. The toons are still following a "fake" main in combination with the problem that we can't get them to "stop" running.

Now that's interesting. Sounds almost like the "ghosting" that would happen in DAoC at times.

That actually makes a lot of sense. I've had problems 2-boxing where they would get "out of sync" and show up in different places. For example on my main it would show both main/alt right next to each other, but on the alt's screen the main was far away (it would get "stuck" in on spot and never move again.) Everyone else saw both in the correct spot, just the alt couldn't see the main. Relogging always fixed it, and it only happened maybe once a week.

I have also had this problem, but it happens so infrequently that I wouldn't think twice about it. This DAMN autorun thing is driving insane!! :evil:

I have been getting the same, also running g15 keyboard, are you using any of the num+number keys as binds or as G keys ?, i have a sneaking suspicion that theres a thing tied in with the num+number combinations.

Other than that the only ways i have found to keep tabs on it is just by going into every window and move the char around untill they stop running.

I also have had an issue where they will just stand in one spot and spin, but thats easily fixed you just hit ur follow macro while jumping.

Getting it as well.. mostly when using modifier keys like ctrl/shift. Regular keyboard, 2 copies windowed and 3 minimized

I also have this problem.

And the problem where toons get out of sync, one will see the other but not the otherway around. This occurs after hearthing or after a wipe for the most case.

One thing I've done to combat this is I have an autofollow loop I run... It basically causes them to look like protons of an atom when they go nuts. It doesn't happen often but it has happened.

3boxing on 1 pc with Keyclone
HOWEVER I have Multiplicty and can be sure that the problem occurs when I mouse over with a key pressed.
