ResizeAndPosition Issue

[Curryman]

Hi guys, I was able to multibox at the beginning of BFA with no problem. Now after returning recently, I haven't been able to get the resizing working. My hardware has remained the same, so I'm not sure what is causing it. It kind of feels like the client crashes and resets in a way. When two windows swap places from the ResizeAndPosition command (F8 - F12 in my script), this happens to one of the windows:

• The label (normally WoW1, WoW2, etc but in this case I use WoW5, WoW6, etc.) goes away resets and defaults back to World of Warcraft
• The <RemoveWinFrame> is undone and gains back its frame.
• The window also defaults back to its original launching position and window size (generally in the middle of the screen)
• The newly "reset" window doesn't actually become non responsive/crashed, but since the label and position reset it makes it hard to multibox... no label no broadcasting

I'm thinking it's an issue with resolution changing during the swaps, but the same type of swapping worked fine at the start of BFA even with the same screen size layout too. My script is below. Any ideas? Thanks

the main idea would be to ensure you are using the DirectX 11 Legacy option. 8.1.5 changed the graphics engine a bit, and they're a bit all over the place. DX11 Legacy is the previous setup, and fixes most of the issues that multiboxers are having.

Oh that was it, thanks very much man. All good now.
