Lag on /follow and jump but not on spells

[jaysmoot]

Hello, I just started dual boxing because of the battle chest discount for RaF and I'm having a bit of a snag. Really more of a nuisance than anything. My slave lags behind about 1 second when following and jumping, but when i cast a spell there's virtually no lag, he casts exactly at the same time as me.

I'm not an expert on PCs and specs so bear with me but I think my setup is not the problem, I have 8gb of ddr3 and I'm getting about 95 fps on the main toon and the second one is capped at 8. about 80-90ms which is pretty good (I think?)

I'm using AutoHotkey as my broadcaster. I've tried playing both in windowed, both in full screen, turning up the fps on the slave, but I can't get rid of that annoying delay. I don't think memory is the issue. I feel like there's gotta be some way to fix this.

Casting a spell is inititlly handeled client side so that happens without lag. Follow is handeled by the server so the lag happens because as you start moving with your main toon the slaves wait for the server to tell them to move too.

8 fps on the slave is a little low you should probably change that so something like 15 or 20 and you should also cap the main client at 60 or alike (there is really no resaon to have the main uncapped and it gives you a little more performance for the other clients). For your ping - I consider 80-90ms already high I'm usually sitting below 25ms.

Are you watching your slave windows as you're performing these actions, because it's as RSM72 says and most of the things you're talking about are handled by latency to the server -- It can play tricks on you if you're only watching your slaves through your main character's screen.

For your ping - I consider 80-90ms already high I'm usually sitting below 25ms.

25ms to the server is incredibly low and a number like that probably means you're not too far from the datacenter that hosts your server(s). I'd say anything < 100ms is easily tolerable and fine for gameplay.

Go into your wow folder and find the Utils folder - delete wowbrowserproxy.. see if that helps.. worked for me.
