Ever had a keyclone runaway?

[Kel]

I think there might be two issues here, one is the lag and /follow bug (which I think I've got a couple of times only) and the other is the way modifier keys interact with movement in wow.

I've had runaway issues with keyclone, but also fairly frequently when I'm solo and not running keyclone (obviously, because what would be the point :P). What happens is (for example) I'm moving and trying to cast a spell with a modifier (or trying to chat), if I'm holding shift down and release the movement key wow doesn't realise that I actually want to stop moving (it gets w down to start moving, but then shift-w up so it doesn't stop moving). Similarly pressing two keys (or a key and a mouse button in my case) which are bound to the same movement direction will result in your character standing still.

I think the only solution is to either be more careful with modifier buttons (says the person who does this at least once a week) and/or to hold down the modifier key and whichever movement button didn't turn off properly.

I feel so lonely on antonidas ;(

There are a few of us on Antonidas -- horde side at least. Three (including me) that I know of. Each with our own guilds (we know each other IRL and like having our own guild banks).

The guilds are: Negative Impact, Slaughterhouse and my own: Me Myself And I

If you're horde side shout out to any of the chars in those guilds and you'll catch one of us.

It's not limited to Keyclone. I'm full hardware and I do get "runaways".

Suvega and I have actually been able to consistently repro one cause:
If you are on auto-run, and someone stuns the "main", the /followers continue in the same vector direction without stopping, even though the main is "stunned".

Another logical cause:
You are moving around. You hold down a movement key (EVENT: KeyDown). The computer is waiting for a "KeyUp" event. You toggle repeater/multicasting "off". You release the key (EVENT: KeyUp), but only one character receives this message since broadcasting is off. The rest continue moving until they receive a "KeyUp" event.

Finally, hunters:
For some reason this class is my biggest "runner". It has something to do with when I stop moving and immediately begin casting (shooting) a "channeled" spell (steady shot follows your target). This did not happen much, if at all, pre-steady shot.

Changing to a single key press for each formation movement solved the problem completely for me.

Things ive noticed lately and im assuming its lagged based. One slave always seems to be late to the party. Weather im firing my first spell, they do nothing or take off running they are the last one to move. Its mostly like that one client doesnt seem to get the keystroke passed to it. Also of late my spread out macro hasnt worked very well. I normaly hold down two keys, let one off before the other and they do the nice spread out on a line. Now it seems I hold down two keys and it only sends one. I have to go back and hit the other key to get thoes two slaves to move.

/follow has been horrible lately. For no reason I can tell any one of the slaves will drop follow. (non WoTLK here). This has gotten 100x worse now that I have epic land mounts.

The other day I thought my mouse was going out or something, but I ended up with a 2in square dead center of my UI that refused to recognise a mouseclick. It was anoying like an invisable UI window or something there. But if I tried to start a mouse move there it wouldn work couldnt click mobs or npcs. I found out it wasnt hardware when I killed a realy large mob and when I moused over the mob in that spot on the UI, the cursor changed from the loot icon back to the finger. Exiting and restarting wow fixed it.

I dont know. It seems like what used to work flawlessly is now not so great and getting annoying. The missed casting on the one slave is by far the most annoying. I realy have to watch and had to slow down my button spaming or that one toon just gets way out of wack from the others. Missed heals and missed treants is painful.

Sounds like you may have an internet issue, or possibly your cable modem is going bad, etc. I have not noticed this issue at all.
