Windows 7 + keyclone -> WoW windows crashing, and keyclone stops responding.

[Rin]

I'm running Windows 7 64 and Keyclone here. No lag, no dropping of clients, no issues at all...

EDIT: Nvm, I see that you're having issues with the PiP swapping. I haven't tried that yet...

System specs:

intel i7 920, 60 GB SSD (WoW) drive, 1.5TB Seagate, 1x GTX OC 280, eVGA mobo (3-way SLI), 6 GBs DDR 3 10k dominator RAM (may upgrade to 12 GBs if I go back to 10-boxing), Windows 7 x64 dual-monitors.

Half the meaning with this post was to "encourage" the developer to maybe start working on a Windows7 version.
And as said, Windows7 in itself is very stable, but the Keyclone application PIP function is not working well with it.

If there was a beta-version of keyclone available for Windows7, it would be easier to "launch" the Final version
since the beta of Keyclone would have been in testing for a while.

Just saying this, because compared to Vista, Windows7 ownz it right down, and I for one believe that alot of
people will change suddenly to Windows7 when its launched, and i can only imagine the hell SolidIce then
would have to go trough if everyone experienced the problems i have experienced now.

Hence, i see no reason for the super moderators of this forum to become snappy, for me trying to
help the author be a bit ahead of the change to come. The problems i am facing is not in direct
relation to Windows7, but rather Keyclone not being 100% compatible with Windows7.
So i belive this to not be a problem with Windows7 itself...

I love Keyclone, and i am very pleased by the support of the developer so far, and i only wanna help.
- Both myself, and others who might wanna change to Windows7 as fast as possible.

I have been in contact with author now, and hence, i will no longer write any replies to this post, but rather
do it in PM's with the author.

Bufe.

Why would you want a dev to work on a Beta OS? I'd MUCH rather the Dev be working on something much more productive Environments (WinXP/Vista / 32/64) or adding new features / bug fixes.

[align=left]Yesterday I got windows 7 installed, wow, keyclone and symlinked the folders bla bla bla. The PiP does fail after about 5 swaps at what point keyclone would not broadcast to the clients. Another thing I noticed was that if you didnt use the PiP it would still fail to work. This is a bit more complicated, but I noticed that when you move your mouse to a slave box the app will bring that window to the forground or active window. After a few passes, this no longer occured so you had to click in that window first to make it the active window before you could interact with the enviroment. Once it quit automaticaly on mouse move active window, the PiP swapping would not work either, however the broadcasting seemed to still work fine.[/align]

[align=left]I havent used PiP before as I was useing 3 machines to box on but now with this setup I can 5 box on one PC, Even Dalaran is ok at about 30fps on all five clients. But it is inconvienent that it doesnt work.[/align]

I run 12Gb on Vista 64 with an i7 920 and so far haven't had any swapping issues. However I don't use keyclone so I have no idea on stability.

And it looks like you can't download it anymore from Microsoft unless you have MSDN access. Although it seems you can still get license keys.

Having the same issues as well on windows 7 64. As for the folks bitching about others bringing it up....it's coming out later this year and it would be good for the devs to be aware of it and have it working ok since a lot of folks will be switching to it on release. Why people would not want it working is beyond me /boggle. Windows 7 is far better than vista even in beta form and I for one as well as a lot of others will be picking it up when it gets released.

[railz]

As will I, although I won't be switching right away. As with Apple, I've learnt over many many years never to buy a first generation Microsoft product. I'll give it six months to mature and then pick it up.

bufe's post are very reasonable and nice and useful; and yes the moderation/comments has become "interesting" lately - truth is keyclone has been stale since June 08 and it'd be nice indeed to have new releases and betas - personally I switched to HKN until PiP and other long standing issues get resolved.
