[Pwnboxer] How to Configure Gamepath

[jafo]

Here's a tricky twist to the OP question:

How do you (or CAN you) include command line parameters (eg -maxinactivefps 5)?

I've seen in other areas of the forum that PwnBoxer can support other games like City of Heroes, but I find if I'm not pointed at WoW.exe all of the Gamepath fields are getting blown away when I restart PwnBoxer.

If I add command line parameters to the Gamepath, save the profile, exit & relaunch PwnBoxer, ALL of my entries will revert to blank. I don't just lose the command line parameters, the entire path gets blown away.

I'll buy that I'm having some kind of stupid attack if there's a simple fix, but any thoughts would be appreciated.

As far as I know manually entered command line parameters are not supported in the gamepath field in Pwnboxer. The "FPS" fields and the like actually alter WoW's config.wtf file to achieve their intended effects.

As a work around (maybe, this untested) you could create a batch file (something.bat) with one line in it that corresponds to the desired line with command line parameters you are needing, and then point the Pwnboxer gamepath at the something.bat file.

Hey!

They are supported, just enter it into the advance game area field. I personally don't have a game to test it with, but I just double checked it, it should work.

For some reason my games crash every time i go to "start game" and i know my computer can run atleast 3 games at once as i have done it without the program.
It also crashes if i try to run 1 game

First, check if you have the Recount addon. If so, remove it, it is known to cause issues.

Second, defrag your HD, and run WoW repair. Make sure your WoWs are on a HD that is optimal for some intense usage.

Even if you can, you wouldn't want to reduce the background FPS below about 15.
That's the point where Follow starts to have issues in several games.
