Seriously? - Multiboxing in World of Warcraft and Beyond!

elderstryker · 11-23-2009, 10:53 AM

OK no Windows 7 support? ok...well I just upgraded to Windows 7 but that is not the issues there was an issue before that ever happened...
I HAD Vista and I was originally having no trouble. then just before you updated on the 19th I had a small problem. Whenever i would open 3 sessions of WoW it would not load one of my games. It would let me sign in and even see my toons, but as soon as i chose one to log in it would load about 1/4 of the way and hang until the WoW session would just quit. So I switched to 2 sessions and it would load both no problem including the account that would not load.
So now it wont do it when I have 2 sessions up. Same account...I now have Windows 7 but that should not be the problem, as the problem existed on vista. No it's not a hardware issue either as I can open easily 4 sessions of WoW without the software and run it with just a drop in frame rate. It's not an add on problem as the same add ons are of course on all the accounts of WoW. Maybe you can explain why it is not working? I cannot even load 2 sessions of WoW with your software now...so now I am running them seperate without your software and having to switch from account to account now...Very frustrating...

I just re-read that and I think I need to clarify...this would only happen on one of my accounts and not any of the others...That is what is so frustrating. I can think of no reason for that to happen. no matter how many sessions i run I can open all others completely but the one account will never load the toons...will load the game but never get into play it.

I have no problems running 5 accounts windows 7 64bit. Its not windows or the software.

elderstryker · 11-23-2009, 11:55 AM

I already said that it wasn't the OS. It was going on before. I was able to run 3 no problem. Could probably run more but I only pay for 3 accounts...and software is the same on all 3 accounts but only 1 account does not want to load. no matter what I do that one account decides it wants to hang then die.
no matter what I do it seems to not like the one account for no reason I can think of.

See if you can start the desired number of clients, via the wow.exe file in the wow folder.

Even though you are lacking the software multiplexer, see if you can physically have three, five or whatever different accounts in the game at once.

That narrows down the list of things to configure. You know if the issue is with the account, with the system resources, with the boxing software etc.

elderstryker · 11-23-2009, 04:23 PM

OK I'll try this again...

all accounts have the exact same add ons.
I only own 3 accounts.
I am able to log in all 3 accounts without pwnboxer.
I can log them on separately or all at the same time.
When I use Pwnboxer I have one specific account that will not log in completely. It will let me get past the log in screen but will not load in the character. It does not matter what character I choose it will not load in any of them on that one account.

Ualaa · 11-23-2009, 04:29 PM

How about if you get to the character screen on all three, with PB.

And then click to log in, with just the one account which is giving issues. While the other two are still at the character screen. Or at say the username/password screen.

I'm not a PB user, so am just trying to troubleshoot for you.

I'm not sure how large of a program PB is, but you could try removing it entirely from your system and then re-downloading it. But with the other two working fine, it doesn't sound like its PB.

elderstryker · 11-23-2009, 04:36 PM

Yeah I can log into all three accounts. They all show all the toons I have, and no matter what order I try to log in or enter the game the same specific account fails to lod into the game itself

Windows 7 is supported, which is what I use and a very large majority of Pwnboxer users. Sounds like a WoW issue, which can actually be situational based upon your WoW window size. The WoW window size is really the only variable that Pwnboxer would have a hand in.

Do this:

Go into your WoW directory, go into the cache directory. Back it up (you won't need it). Delete all the cache files.

Then start up pwnboxer, click START ALL GAMES button. Do not do anything until the games have started. Note: WoW is fragile, if you touch the WoW game while it is in progress of loading, it will sometimes dissapear. So don't do anything while it loads.
