EQ2: Never Boxed EQ2. Checklist?

[Frosty]

Are you turning all the graphics way down on the follower windows?
I know you can't completely disable the sound on them, but you can move the slider to allow less sounds and change the distance you hear footsteeps.
Also, you can still do plenty with 3 in a group. :thumbup:

Alright, I'm not sure if its the way IS tweaks the frame's resolution, or something else, but running IS with the instances cause a HUGE performance increase. I am able to run 4 instances, only being limited by my RAM (each instance takes ~800MB). I only have 4 GB, so I think I'm going to pick up another 2x2GB modules while I wait for my order to come in. At that point, I'll do 3 per machine. I won't need such a beefy video card for the second machine.

I do have 2 issues with IS (if anyone is still reading this thread ), which I'll do some searching on their forums for:
Background: Main session on 21" Widescreen, 2 alt sessions in the Top Left and Top Right of a 19"
1. It only happened once, but the 2 alt sessions somehow resized their resolution back to 1280x1024 pixels, but weren't shrunk into the IS session frame. So basically, the 2 alt sessions consisted of just the Top Left corner of the game screen (so that I could basically only see the char/party health bars). This is difficult to describe properly, and I'll probably just forget about it and hope it never happens again. It required a full game close and IS restart to fix.

2. When switching sessions (and having them hotswapped to the main monitor), IS never puts them back in the same order. If I switch from Main session to other sessions, then back to main, the other sessions are not in the right order.

I've had this happen, and it's usually from some Windows application or Virus scanner that decides I'm not "really" using the computer so it should do something.
The only way I've found to fix it is close all windows and re-launch. It hardly ever happens though.

How did you set up WindowSnapper in ISBoxer? Did you use the option for each instance to have it's on set place, or set it so all space is always used?

I have mine set to leave an empty slot for the window that is maximized.
