Blizzard has apparently made some changes to the way it does windowed mode. Pre-4.0, Octopus could do its "keep all windows in foreground" thing so you could single-click on any window. Now, that's not working. I presume any multiboxing tools that maximize or handle foreground/background and/or rendering will possibly need updates.
Now playing: WoW (Garona)
I am having the same problem. After launching the first WoW window, subsequent windows starts loading a long time later (like 30 seconds later) and they do not get captured in keyclone's list of WoW instances. How do I fix this?
I too am having the maximizer problem since 4.0.1. Keyclone is up-to-date. My slaves run on a laptop which has a monitor added to it. The laptop screen is disabled, so the added monitor is the primary screen. Somehow, WoW sees both monitors even though only one is enabled.
I have keyclone setup to open 3 clients in different regions. WoW is setup for 'windowed mode'. No probs prior to 4.0.1. After 4.0.1, keyclone places the first client in the correct region. Then it places clients 2 and 3 in the middle of the screen, one on top of another. Keyclone does not auto-detect these last two clients. The WoW monitor setting when this occurs is 'Primary'. If I change the monitor setting in WoW to 'Monitor 1', keyclone launches all three clients on top of each other and detects none of them by default. If I launch each client manually the same occurs.
Something else I noticed. Key broadcast takes place only when clients 2 or 3 are in the foreground. If client 1 is in the foreground, no keys are broadcast.
All of the sudden I'm having the same problem as Teamgrizzly and kenphillips. I have been using keyclone/maximizer fine since the patch until today.
When i fired up keyclone, AVG threw a fit at WoW.exe, asking me if i wanted to quarentine it. I said no, and let it keep on working. And just like that, Maximizer hasn't been the same. The first instance i fire up will work, but any subsequent wow instances aren't picked up by maximizer, they open in regular old windowed mode. And they won't receive any key strokes either.
I've disabled AVG to rule that out as a problem, but it doesn't seem to matter. I have no idea what has changed since yesterday afternoon.
ive found way round this problem...
go in to set up and there on maximizer options you can set it to match a ward to recognize fill the box "add game" then type in world of warcraft.
start your wow windows 1 by one and in keyclone window you can see that keyclonen added a window named world of warcraft. right click on the name and then you can see a lot off options. drag the mouse cursor to the tab named maximizer and simply add it to the region you want.
Hekola, I'll try that out later tonight. But, if memory serves, mine is setup to auto add windows of that title...which it ain't.
I also stumbled across an email address for keyclone's founder: keyclone@solidice.com
Looks like the address is still active, as I'm not getting any returned mail.
Also, for those of you that say it's still working properly, could you be more descriptive in how you're using keyclone? As in how it's setup, how you start it, etc.? I'm thinking that maybe our situations aren't similar enough and that's why it still works for some.

Good luck getting an e-mail reply from Keyclone anytime soon, your best bet is to call him on the phone.
Indeed, but my budget will not allow for such calls.
1: start keyclone
2: Go in to setup, http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/4...ldkeyclone.jpg
3:add world of warcraft to match the word ecakt.
4: Start your wow with your command and press connect: http://img525.imageshack.us/f/bildkeyclone2.jpg/
5: Now you can see that keyclone recognized world of warcraft and added it up to it´s Title window. Like the Pic above.
6: Right click the window and you will get a drop down menu. look were it stands MAXIMIZER hover your mouse cursor there and now you can see your regions.
7: press the region were you want it to be. http://img695.imageshack.us/f/bildkeyclone3.jpg/
