Second Screen Spins Randomly

[Totemjunkie]

I'm not sure if this is a settings issue with pwnboxer, or a wow issue. I will try to detail as much information as possible below. Thank you ahead of time for your patience in reading through my scattered description.

I am having an issue where my second screen (only running two accounts) spins randomly on any type of clicking. I have tried disabling mouse click broadcasting and going back and forth to loot items and my screen still spins randomly.Edit. Not sure what has changed, but running it now and disabling mouse broadcasting, i am able to loot and interact with objects normally on the second screen. It appears to only be there when mouse broadcasting is enabled and i interact with objects on both screens.

I am using method two - Real time mouse broadcasting. I also have enable key broadcasting set to disable. (had it enabled before but didn't seem to make a difference)

It does this whether it is through a broadcast of the primary application of wow or when mouse broadcasting is off and directly clicking the second application of wow. I thought maybe click to move or some weird key binding was set to look another direction on click, but if there is, i can not find it.

I have run pwnboxer before the patch to wow 4.0.x and never noticed this issue before. If you want other information that I most likely may have inevitably left out please ask and I will get it asap.

Thanks in advance.

Method 2 is very experimental and depends highly on things like windows patch levels, windows hotfix, and real-time monitors your system may have (AV, mouse driver interactions, etc).


So basically, use Method 1. I use it myself every day, probably to do 100+ mouse clicks a day, and its flawless.

I have encountered the same behavior, and I don't believe it has to do with any clicking because I do not broadcast mouse at all. I do believe this is has to do with the follow system, perhaps strobing but I doubt it has anything to do with blizzard's /follow system because I have never seen this behavior in my normal game play with follow (then again I don't use follow heavily unless multiboxing).

This happens for me only when follow is broken, whether due to getting hung up on terrain or simply have a slight speed difference on the master from talents etc. and have them run out of follow range. When follow is broken the toon will just start spinning (I have also seen them just start running in a random direction. The reason I suspect this is inherent to PBxr is if you switch to that monitor and hold your back pedal key it will pause the running forward or spinning but as soon as you let that key go it will continue running forward or spinning.

There are 2 ways to stop this 1) bring the master back into range and hit your follow key. 2) in more immediate danger switch to that client and simply hit your backpedal "S" in my setup, this will bring that slave to a immediate halt.

Not sure what causes this but what I did for my setup is make a 2nd binding for backpedal and set that key to broadcast to all clients. If any of this mayhem should occur hit that hot key to at least bring your team to a full stop.

I've encountered the screen spinning, rarely but occasionally, always with the spamming of IWT/CTM.

If IWT spam causes it, right clicking on the ground anywhere will fix it. Your toon runs a short distance, and the camera aligns properly again.



Not sure that this is your cause, but if it is then the fix is easy.

Yup with what Ualaa has said, IWT will definitely do that. IWT doesn't target the mob, it actually targets the space the mob occupied at the time the IWT was executed.

Also, and I've done extensive testing on this, but WoW itself can have weird client-side lag, including not correctly getting information about key states. Because of how multiboxing works (moving around sending key actions, not always persistently sending key states), if there is a slight WoW client lag, the client itself might think that certain keys are being 'held down' when in fact they are not.

Overall the fix to do this is really easy. Whenever there is a spin/run-away, simply press down/up on 3 keys at once, these keys being up/down/(left or right). That key sequence will clear out any positional status issues and will also stop IWT running.

Hope that makes sense

I used to have the same problem when I tried using Synergy with HotKeyNet.

i only get the screen spin when i use a spell with mouse broadcasting e.g. earthquake on my shammys as soon as i click it casts the spell but spins my screen to a wierd direction.

all i did was set a key for camera angle and just press it whenever it happens

Using method 1 or 2?

[pinki104]

i only use method 2

Running PB on a single char with jamba strobe follow enabled will do this as well, but only when you enter a vehicle and having the second option mouse broadcasting enabled...very annoying while pvping in SotA with the cannons, but didn't take all that long for me to narrow it down to the cause.

**Before someone asks a dumb question as to why I have jamba and PB running for a single wow, it is because wow runs better with PB on, and I only use one copy of wow to play single and multiboxing...so much easier to update that way. I have a few TB drives, so it isn't like I have a lack of space to make more wow folders, but when you can only update one at a time and they take forever to update, it saves tons of time. Besides, imagine having 6 copies on a single drive, at 30Gb's each, then managing what addons are in each one, and updating them all...soo much easier with a single copy.

But, like Tim said, just use the first option for the mouse broadcasting, I have never had issues with that one.
