Blue post on multi-boxing problems

[blindbudsmoker]

Here is the post: With a few other bug problems

• Starting more than 1 wow.exe simultaneously will cause the applications to deadlock
  - If you are multi-boxing, do not use a batch file or other method to launch multiple game clients at once

so is thier any sort of fix for this? when i load up 5 its hit or miss but 1-3 accounts will lock up. have to shut them down and reload and usally 1-2 make it and what ever is frozen again shut down and repeat till all 5 work. using ISboxer with all the graphics correct.

thanks

have a couple addons on account one but the slaves are only isboxer and jamba

I seem to be having issues as well still. I only run 3 clients and my 2nd and 3rd client crash after 1-3 minutes of playing but never my #1. I am using about 5 addons now, as opposed to the dozen i used to use and find if i disable everything on the slaves except for jamba and isboxer i am stable. So, i'm tempted to believe that an addon is causing problems. Was also curious if system resources were a concern but i am using no more than I used to (hitting no more than 60% on cpu/ram usage). Did anyone else find that disabling addons helped? i'm using omen, recount, bagnon, postal, isboxer, vuhdo, and jamba at the moment. all my vid settings have been turned down a bit, drivers updated etc.

cheers for any info

For both of the above posters. Log in just one account at a time. Go into your video settings and set everything to as low as possible on each account. Then try logging them in as your team. You can always raise the settings later by small amounts until you get your desired preference. This worked for me.

Thanks very much for the tip! I've steadily increased the settings for the last hour and so far so good. hopefully i'll get them back to my previous settings of high on the slaves and ultra on the main.

thanks again!

They said simultaneously, or 5 at once. Like shoving 5 lollypops into your mouth at once.
If you boot up 1 window at a time and allow it to get to the login screen before you open the next one (open 1 lollypop, once its in your mouth, grab the next one), it should work fine.
ISboxer and Keyclone both do this already.
