March 2020 - Does anybody still box SWTOR?

I haven't had any problems with frame drops when using auto follow. I'm only dual boxing, but I did get a full four accounts going to put my guilds together and they didn't have any problems either. I'm also running an old setup still thanks to the hardware shortage with an old Ryzen 1700xand GTX 1070.

Yea, this is one of those issues that pops up from time to time. They basically accidently break auto-follow and suddenly it lags everyone when it's used. I've come back to swtor multiboxing I think 4 times since 2011, and twice, autofollow was causing the lag issue, other times it was fine.

It doesn't get used a lot by the community at large, so it seems to become a low priority fix, but eventually they fix it, and then eventually they break it again. Glad to hear it's working as of your post.

Just to update, I've been playing again for a few weeks. The autofollow glitch is currently in a good place. IE, it doesn't cause massive frame drops for anyone nearby.
