Keyclone - Jerky movement.

[Kayley]

Did a few searches, came up with nothing.

I play 5 characters at once on one pc (shock). I can be attacking, sitting.. dancing.. be in shattrath... no jerky play, nice smooth gameplay. But the moment I do a circle (any movement that turns all of my 'clones' screens) my fps (doesn't drop) but it stutters like crazy. Like it is having problems trying to render everything. I naturally turned every graphic option down, nothing changed. I checked to see if my pc was overheating, nothing out of the ordinary.

I accidentally closed Keyclone while I was moving and the problem went away. I loaded keyclone up again.. stuttering/jerky movement (when moving camera angles - circles).

Usual Hardware,
Q6600, 8800gtx, 4GB RAM etc etc
(I play all my characters on one monitor)

Might not even be keyclone at fault, I'm personally just hoping it is a configuration error. (lol user error RTFM and all)

Kind Regards,
Kayley

Had this happen on "h" version, the whole screen stutters even though fps says 60fps and I noticed it happened most when I did key presses especially when either right click-down while steering, if was going straight it was unnoticeable. It would happen every time I pressed my clone follow button. I think it went away on "i" version.

[Kayley]

Yeah, it only happens when turning while using the mouse to steer or look around while moving. I'm not sure which version I'm using, latest I think. I've just had to make do with keyboard turning for now :P

[keyclone]

please confirm the version number you are using.

you should be on v1.8j

[Kayley]

I am indeed using version 1.8j

if your issue is that your windows are jerky... as you spin all windows at the same time... i would guess that is an issue with wow providing the rendering on the machine.

try this... run all 5... put WASD on DNP.. show the FPS... then spin a single window. do it with the mouse... see if your fps drops (as it should)

not, push the left arrow... spinning all windows at once... and you'd get the jerkiness at that point. my guess is that its wow rendering 5 wows at once.

[Kayley]

There is no stuttering when I did what you said. My fps drops by 2 when I spin them all in circles on the spot.

Problem: Hopefully better explained.

If I am moving (forward/back) and I turn via mouse (right click) it stutters. If I am moving and I turn the camera view with the left mouse button (while moving with the A,D key), it stutters (not as much as if I was moving all the characters in a circle). If I close down keyclone and keep every one on follow, I get no stuttering when I turn via the mouse. I originally thought I was somehow creating too much info being sent to all the 'clones'.

The part that confuses me is. If I mute Keyclone, I still have the problem. It ONLY goes away when I close keyclone. Something on my system (or maybe I set Keyclone up wrong - although there isn't much to set up :P) doesn't like what is going on.

I have Maxfps set to 40, maxfpsbk is 15. The clones have their graphic options turned to the lowest possible.

Weird eh? :/

EDIT
Xar's old problem sounds like mine. Only it hasn't gone away T_T

[keyclone]

hmph... please make sure you are running v1.8j and not a previous version.
also, please make sure you DO NOT have 'pass mouse clicks' checked

other then that.. when you turn using your mouse, keyclone is doing nothing to pass keys to another other screen. it does check if your mouse has moved to another wow window, but that is a very quick check.

do you have anything in the mouse map?

what type of machine are you running? cpu/ memory/ grfx card

[Kayley]

1.8j
Pass Mouse Clicks is unchecked.
Nothing is in my mouse map.

'Usual Hardware,
Q6600, 8800gtx, 4GB RAM etc etc

I have the latest video drivers etc too. I'm just confused atm

[keyclone]

is 'focus-follows-mouse' enabled? try unchecking it

you could also try exiting keyclone.. and renaming your keyclone.ini file (effectively resetting your settings to default like a clean install)

let me know if that changes anything
