ISboxer and lotro.

[Frostt]

So I got my 3 accounts up and running, works great. However, I ran into a hitch last night and am wondering if this is an ISboxer setup issue or if it is game related.

Currently I have it setup with 1 profile, 1 computer, 1 lotro location. Using windows 7 machine with 1 lotro installation. (considering reinstalling vista, due to some incompatability issues with 7 and lotro). So here is the problem, last night after I logged out all 3 of my guys, a few hours later I go to log back in, I get two instances to launch to character select, the third, however, gets to a "logon server is busy" error message. I relaunch my character set and it loads that account just fine, but it puts it in the wrong location of the windows layouts.

My question is, if i had multiple character sets for each individual character would this a better solution? Can I bind each individual character to a specific location in my windows layouts? Should I be using multiple Lotro folders to accomplish multiboxing with ISboxer? I will at some point be picking up a second hard drive, and was wondering if this could be a solution as well.

Two things I am going to try. I am going to leave my setup as is and try today, since they had a maintenance patch today I will see if the problem fixes itself. If not, I will set up a seperate folder and profile to that folder and launch the third account from there.

I am running thin on ideas. I wonder how you that are successful do this.

Thanks.

1. No, you do not want a character set for each individual character. If you do that, the Slots will not match up and your window layouts will not apply correctly
2. Your characters go in your window layout according to their Slot in your character set
3. No, you want exactly 1 folder for performance reasons. The only legitimate reason for using multiple folders is to have multiple configs -- in other games. With LOTRO, your config is put in your Documents folder so as far as I know, having multiple LOTRO folders will do nothing but harm your performance.

I'm not sure why you get the "logon server is busy" message, though. Creo and Nathanastack in the #isboxer chat room might have information that can help you on that one (LOTRO players; Creo is usually around, Nathanastack usually isn't). As far as being in the wrong location for the window layout, sometimes this is just a startup issue where if you switch between the windows it will go to the right place after that. So before you change too much, be sure that isn't the case since that'd be harmless

Thanks for the fast response Lax. I will try and get into contact with them. As to the window layout, it might be as simple as clicking the windows individually to get the positions to reset? I will try that as soon as I get home.

Thanks.
