Multiple computer support?

[muffins2all]

Hi,

I've been watching the feed since the hunter/priest group, but I've only started commenting in justin.tv and on this forum now.

Does pwnboxer support multiple computers, such as three WoW's running on my main box, and then two instances of WoW on my laptop?

Does this require a second purchase of pwnboxer, or does pwnboxer even support this? I've checked out the screenshots, but I can't see anything yet.

Thanks,

Pwnboxer doesn't support multiple PCs at once at this time.

So if I can't upgrade my main PC I'm kinda screwed for now eh?

Yeah, I have been pushing this for a while as I 10 but can't use pwnboxer to do so but I get nowhere. I have two other multiboxing programs and both have support for multiple PCs, but also have 'features' I don't like. Oh to have it all . . .

somethink did when i wonted to computers is a wireless keybord 2 the same and link them the things to run on one computer so when i press keys on one keybord it would send to 2 pc but then i have to put my g15 away , 2nd is get some software to do it but sometimes they do mouse as well but somethink like mouse lock would stop this then u have to pay for pwnboxer agean that i a same i know others that yet u that do over many pc but need a lic for each pc there is one that comes with up to 5 computers for free and its cheeper then pwnboxer but i do not like how auto it is i think its way to way and the wondows are really hard to setup all in all

the best thing that would be nice if tim yet us run pwnboxer on 2 pc maybe 2nd lic cheeper if he will not give it free then use keybord cloneing over lan to stream the keys this would be great i just do not wont to pay for pwnboxer 2 times for when i just wont to do some fast movies but now i can run 5 wow one pc its all better just a pain, if i wonted to rec, wish tim could help us on this.


ps sorry i think i did go on

You can use your G15 to broadcast to multiple PCs with both of those other programs. I use mine for every raid.

I don't really mind actually buying a second license, just add some support for the program to talk through your home network/router and you're good to go?

Dunno, would get tricky with the mouse broadcasting I assume, because you cannot modify the other windows from your main PC... that's a totally different mouse.

Any thoughts Tim?

Thanks,

Going to add onto this. It's more likely that people today would be able to add another system (that's probably already laying around) vs buying a new computer for multiboxing.

For myself, I spent around $3,000 on a computer three years ago. I've got a X2 4800+, with 3GB of RAM and a 9800GTX+. This runs three WoW's fine, however to upgrade to five mutliboxing would mean me possibly buying an entirely different system.

The processor is a tad behind, and the single video card would most likely fail as well. I did have the original video cards in SLI, but they fried and that's why I have the new 9800GTX+. I would need to upgrade the power supply if I were to go back to that.

So, basically, caught in a trap where I could add a second computer/use my laptop that could handle 2-3 WoW's, or upgrade my other system for $$$$$$.

Ugh.

Thought I'd add my 2 cents to this discussion. It's not out of the realm of possibility to have broadcasts go to another pc. There are already programs out there that do this sort of thing so you don't need a kvm switch.

Synergy

I could see something like this being integrated into pwnboxer. It would be really cool!

you sure you can olny run 3 wow on that card?? sil wow does not know how to use so haveing it pointless my new system e5300 4gb ram overclocked to 3.5gz and 9800gt runs 5 wow on max settings but it runs @ 100% load but turn the other wow down low then its runs a lot faster i can have firefox and winamp open but i know i need more then 4gb really olny prob is when i would like to rec stuff it kills the system and crashs way to much for my likeing, this is why i would like to run over a few more then 1 pc + i hate to see my old pc go down the drain
