Temp Solution for 2-boxing.

#1 Post by Scorsese »

For those of you that 2-box, I found a temporary solution until it's fixed. As you may or may not know, when you 2-box, the game is focused on one window, meaning if you don't pan from window to window constantly, you'll start to dc.

I found this last night, and it worked for me.

Run both windows, then bring up your task manager, and set both POL.EXE to 'Low' priority. I tried setting it to high, but it didn't make a difference, but with low they both stayed on, no dc'ing. The only problem I've found so far is that the music and sounds will lag from one of the windows which kinda sucks, but oh well.

This worked for me, can't guarantee it'll work for u.


SE fucking sucks.

Or, you could run Windower 3.23 and have no problems whatsoever.
Winodwer 3.3 doesn't work for me at all :/

I just use a /recast "w/e" in each macro (like /recast "Sleep II" in my sleep macro) and also have a macro with just /recast of sleeps/bind/grav/stun etc.
I hate this linkshell with a fiery passion.

yeah, in your init file, things without //"pluginhere" will auto load, so just add that for recast and your good to go( from what I hear,the only way it works is without recast but I havent used windower yet since the update)

Two boxing = Having 2 PCs.

What you do is oneboxing with two windows.

^^

I play myself on PS2 and Ploid on my laptop. That way neither lags from the actions of the other. Kinda sucks in terms of having to move back and forth between the two but meh.

Perish on PC or PS2

Mule on the other thats not being used.
Thats 2 boxing for me. Currently I only have one playable character thats worth anything "Perish" But soon I may have a 75 sam,75 pld that I'll get when my friend quits the game. That would rock being able to PL either character or duo some crazy shit with 75 pld and 75 thf.
