Mute and load lag issue w/ way around it

[MaxD]

So when I put my Keyclone into Mute I get really bad lag. I understand why it does it but I dont like it. Also when I am logging my 5 accounts I get really bad lag. However when you turn off keyclone during these processes lag is gone. I understand why it lags and its such a minor issue its almost not worth addressing, but I would imagine if I am having this issue on my system other people with other systems could benefit from this action.

So I turn on Keyclone.
Load up all 5 accounts in Keyclone.
Turn off Keyclone.
Load all 5 accounts of Wow, log into game.
Turn Keyclone back on and you have your game set up in half the time.

Now the Mute lag issue although I havent found a real good way to get around this YET, a solution is get rid of the need altogether. I assume you can put as many keys as you want in the file to not be shared. Just put qwert-m,./ into the directory and you have no reason to mute. Now this is also to assume you dont use WASD or any other shared keys to move your tunes around. This is just a noobs idea :thumbsup: to get around some of the lesser attractive features of this awesome software.

Try turning off the "mute" overlay, it's in options...

Well there are still some uses for Mute. Some times you may want to keep toons that are logged on but out of the fight. Maybe a Los Pull and you have your toons on the other side but still needing to keep them away. I guess if I remacroed alttle targeting or firing can be avoided. I dont want to get rid of mute 100% yet but I know for sure I don't want to have to use it for typing

No, I dont mean disable the feature... just disable the overlay that puts the words on the screen when you press Pause. That's what kills framerate for me.

oh now that I didnt know you could do. Yes thats what does it for my Frame rate. Good call

[keyclone]

thanks stabface... right on target

yes... the 'mute' overlay constantly re-paints as the game window constantly erases it

turning it off will reduce the lag for sure. you should still have the audio reminder (which i prefer)

Nice, this will help a lot on my 5 box instance team when 5 accounts on my box are running lol.

I have this problem sometime. Thanks for the TIP I will have to try this next time.

Welcome guys, glad to help out. I just discovered this a couple days ago and meant to PM keyclone about it but hadn't gotten around to it yet

Do you think there is any chance of having the Keyclone window change colour or something when your in mute mode ? (or have it as an option) It really doesn't have to be pretty .

I don't play with sound, I have the keyclone window visible and I don't really like the flashing "Mute" so it'd be great if it just turned bright pink when overide is on - Something that stands out.

I know it's probably just me wanting this but it doesn't hurt to ask
