Blue post on multi-boxing problems

[Malgor]

Here is the post: With a few other bug problems

• 0. Patch 4.0.1 known issues *updated 8pm 10/12* 10/11/2010 06:07:38 PM PDT

All of the following are known issues that we are hope to have corrected in a future patch:

• 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
• Resizing the game client when run in a window can cause bodies of water to not display
• Clicking on a “Level notification” in the chat window will cause a LUA error
• Using voice chat, recording a voice sample then immediately changing the Microphone setting can cause a crash
• Graphical issues with the Devilsaur in the Hunter’s Pet tab
• Hunter pet abilities can be inadvertently removed from the spell bar when relogging into the game or zoning
  - The spells are still in the spellbook, you may need to replace them.

Additional known issues:

• Error 132 when attempting to start the game using WoW.exe
• Data Execution Prevention (DEP) error when logging in to the game
• No standalone patch allowing players with restricted internet connections to bypass the use of the Blizzard Downloader
• Computers with limited hard disk space cannot patch
  - work around: uninstall your current game and download the latest game client here: https://us.battle.net/account/management/download/index.xml

Respect for Blizzard.

When using ISBoxer, isn't there an option to launch a client every n seconds can't check now)?
Maybe I'm wrong but if this is the case, there's no problem, right?

The blue edited his posts; I'm sure the initial post went something like:

Starting more than 1 wow.exe simultaneously will cause the applications to deadlock
- If you are cheating multi-boxer, do not use a batch file or any of your other dirty cheating methods to launch multiple game clients at once.

So is this what's causing me to get .5 fps when I launch 5 toons with isboxer?

what i read from this, is that Blizzard does not mind multiboxers at all, found a bug that could annoy boxers, and have flagged it to be fixed.

All good news to me. bugs happen.

Um, hopefully not? Try playing with your video settings seeing as the entire layout of the video options has changed and they have upgraded some spell detail and the water. I mean, I guess you could be having the 'deadlock' problem but, I dunno, I'm going to go take a shower.

This mentions launching from wow.exe, what if you turn launcher off, but use the launcher to launch wow.exe?

Really wanting to enjoy the new Lava Burst macro before it gets nerfed.

Lol, yeah, it was the video settings. Thanks, it probably would have taken me a while to figure that out because I don't remember hearing that they were changing anything :P

It still seems slower now with the settings turned all the way down, than it did with medium settings before (on my 4 slaves).
