@Tdog
try updating to v1.8i alpha and see how that works for you.

The crashes I'm experiencing are occurring most frequently on the machine on my right side, and sometimes the machine in the middle, but never on the machine on the left. I think it's related to override and/or dnp override. Anything more specific than that I cant be.

Something else has happened though. I've been using 1.8i since release now, and it's been fine (apart from some crashes), but now allovasudden the combination Alt+f will NOT be sent to the other clients. I cant remember having ticked off the "Strict" option, but selecting this fixed it. Just a curious thing that happened totally unexpected.

EDIT: Just as I went back ingame, KC on my left machine stopped responding =)
About the crashes: I can still toggle some buttons (at least for a little while until it locks up entirely) but it doesn't receive keyinputs. -*shrug*
And the keyclone process needs to be terminated from the task manager to be removed. Sometimes the icon in the lower right will not be removed before a reboot of windows.

I too get similair issues when one client just stops receiving commands, and needs to be killed by the task manager and restarted. Can't really pinpoint a cause atm either.

I tried the alpha version today and haven't gotten any lockups so far like in 1.8h.
I am gonna see how it goes but all is well for the time being

I also had a couple of instances where my slave would partially stop responding. I say partially because it would not process normal keys but would still pass hotstrings correctly. In my case it turned out that I had mucked up the upgrade (from g to h) of the slave machine. After fixing up the slave it has performed flawlessly again.

I'm having the random lockups too on my right-hand side machine. However, my left-hand side one is running 'g' right now. I'm going to download this and test. Thanks!

Thanks for the Update, i had problems at the weekend with the mouse keys not passing so i'll try the new 'i' release tonight.

I also had an issue with PiP. 2 x 22" monitors, 4 clones on right monitor and main char on left running in a bigger resolution/window. The game always froze if i tried using PiP, the main window would freeze unless i downsized the window itself to bring it back to life. Which was messy. I'll try that later too. Anyway, ta for update.

This version fixed the wierd lag issue when holding down modifier keys - and subsequently increased my fps on my main back up another 20fps.. thanks!

I'm running the alpha with the following configuration:

1st monitor: main @ 1680x1050 (1-1 maximizer)...forced 60FPS
2nd monitor: 4 clients @ 840x525 (800x600 maximizer)...forced 40FPS

So far its running flawlessly and the focus follow mouse is much smoother as well. Looking good so far.

This is on Vista Ultimate x64
