Lifetank question w/ dual client
|
|
I'm going to ask this here, since questions are not being answered on the actual lifetank boards.
I am able to dual client macro 2 characters in 2 windows. The melee has to be the active window or it stops working well, healing, and so on, and will die. A mage macro does not have to be the active window to work, as ltx works perfectly with it not being the one you're actually using. Why? I don't quite know, but I know that it worked fine before since I have a mage and a melee.
Now I've replaced that mage with an archer, and it doesn't work anymore. If I don't keep the archer AC window open I'll get a bunch of timed out messages and ltx will essentially just stand there and die. The same happens to the melee. I can watch him through my archer's window and he will literally just run around a bit without actually attacking anything.
Is there anything I can do to solve this? I know ELtank is NOT the answer because having ELtank on actually kills whichever character is not in the active window.

You need to use windowed mode. LT will not always work correctly in full-screen mode with multiple clients on the same machine.

I DO use windowed mode, yet it does not work correctly. I can alt-tab to one window and 30s later it's OH MY GOD YOU KILLED KENNY in the other one!

I'd say more information is required. I can run 3-4 clients with ease on my PC... AMD 64 3000+ w/ 2gig ram and 128meg vid card....

Hmmm.. I'm running an AMD 3200+ w/ 2GB and a 256MB card, and I can't run 2 clients without serious lag issues. Doing a /framerate, there's about 40fps difference if I'm running two clients vs one, and that's with no huds on. Of course I haven't reloaded my system in ages, so it's about time to do that.

don't alt-tab.
the key combination screws things up. If you're truely in Windowed Mode, then just CLICK back and forth between windows.
(AC has always been this way)

I have no lag issues whatsoever, and it doesn't really slow down much until a few hours have passed in a small window with lowest graphic settings. I just find it odd that a mage macro works if it's not the active window but a melee/archer won't.
Alt-tabbing between windows constantly doesn't really work when I'm playing one char and macroing the other.
