Mouse Broadcast

[Bobby79]

We have covered this subject but i have a wierd issue that when i broadcast to my slaves the mouse is popping up on them but flickering and not pressing properly on some slaves, i read a post before where someone had similar issues but cant remember what it said.

i updated my graphics card driver and tweaked a few things and it worked near perfect and today it is back to bieng flickering and not working properly so my question is aside from av what else could cause this ?

Always tnx in advance

Do you think it is graphic artifacting, since you rebooted and it worked?

Also, double check to make sure your game windows aren't overlapping, if even by a pixel.

[Bobby79]

Ok i assume from graphic artifacting you mean patches on the screen or something, i dont have none.

my game coordinates are

Game 1

Game 2

Game 3


Game 4

Game 5

Is there anything in pwnboxer that i need to set that i might not be doing.

What is your mouse broadcasting settings set at? Post a screenie of that too. Oh and post your PC specs and how your game boxes are configured.

[Bobby79]

my mouse broadcasting setting is



My game boxes are set like

Game1


Game 2-5


as you can see my cpu affinity is like this game 1 my main has 4 cpu and then the others are 1 each.

and finally my pc spec

win 7 ultimate 64 bit
Intel core i7 950@ 3.07ghz (8CPUs)
6144MB Ram
Nvidia geforce gtx 460

When you read this i hope someone says " there's your problem "

Looks all right.

Try setting it to be "slower" computer. Then right after starting Pwnboxer, manually click your mouse in each window (this is a built-in thing with Pwnboxer, it reaffirms windows security auth for entry into each game window's process to send mouse events and such, it is a undocumented feature).

[Bobby79]

Still not right

What else can effect it working correctly

[Tim]

I'd say one of 2 things then:

#1 It is clicking, just your game has nothing to click on in that particular area

#2 Ultimately the only thing that affects if a window is getting mouseclicks is really the speed at which your OS "recognizes" that the window handler is able to accept control. So if yours isn't working right, or of it misses nearly all the clicks then something is slowed down on your PC. Fragemented HD, video card bad memory, slow CPU. If you are seeing odd flickering, sounds like artifacts, which is what happens when bad sectors of GPU ram occur.


So really, one of those 2 things. Considering that I've never really heard of this issue much at all, it probably surely is one of those 2.

Solved the issue i bought a new monitor as i was using a 15 inch one or something so i decided to upgrade to a 23 inch and it works perfectly now so why would the monitor cause a problem.

Lets see what explanations we get.

Sounds like it was associated with your GPU then.
