Under Construction

We are working on collecting all of the information that needs to be shared on this page. Please bear with us if the information you are looking for is not yet available. If you need assistance, there are several people who use ISBoxer with LOTRO in the chat room.

Is this allowed by Turbine?

Turbine has stated that multi-boxing is allowed in any of their games.

Known Issues

• Inner Space may not currently work with The Lord of the Rings Online when using Windows 7. However, it may work on Windows 7 if placed in Windows XP or Vista compatibility mode. Update: This issue is fixed in the Inner Space development build.

LOTRO client limitations and workarounds

LOTRO will resize and reposition the game window to the center of the screen

Solution: Check "Prevent game from repositioning windows" in your ISBoxer Character Set

LOTRO will ignore keystrokes unless it is the foreground window

Solution: Check "Make game believe it is foreground window" in your ISBoxer Character Set

LOTRO will not allow your main window to be the full size of the screen. If your main window is the full screen size, mouse positioning will be incorrect.

Solution: Inner Space build 5004 implements a workaround to this problem. This build is currently a development build and is available through the Inner Space Patcher window. To switch to the development build, open the Patcher window, check the development builds box, and restart Inner Space. To switch back to the live build later, follow the same process.

LOTRO errors that may prevent playing

On Windows XP, the LOTRO launcher crashes with no message

This issue is fixed in a test build of Inner Space. See this post on the ISBoxer.com forums for details.

Unspecified patch error

As of the Siege of Mirkwood release, the LOTRO patcher no longer functions correctly if the game is running. If you get "Unspecified patch error" when the launcher is at "Examine Game Data", you will need to use multiple game folders. See this post on the ISBoxer.com forums for details if you are not sure how to do this.

Can't bind local socket

1. Open your UserPreferences.ini file, found in your Documents\The Lord Of The Rings Online folder
2. Look for a line that says [Net] near the bottom
3. A couple lines below [Net] is a line that says

ComputeUniquePort=True

Change it to:

ComputeUniquePort=False

Something about R6034 and the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

This has something to do with other software installed on your PC not playing nicely. A small minority of people get this issue. We are working on a permanent solution for this problem.

If you cannot wait, here are some suggestions:

1. Reinstalling Windows and not installing any other software will definitely solve the problem, but may be tough to swallow
2. Try shutting down other running programs
3. Try uninstalling programs

Helpful snippets from ISBoxer Chat

Creating a follow button in game

• May 12 13:58:23 <Kyth> I have a question about setting things up for Lotro. Every time i set my character to follow my main. That works fine. But when i go to attack, the follower loses follow. Is there a way to attack and reinstate follow without having to switch screens after every kill?
• May 12 13:59:14 <nathanastack> In-game do you have Skill target forwarding on?
• May 12 13:59:16 <Lax> You should never have to switch screens in order to perform an action on the other window. you can make a Mapped Key to press a button in your other window to make your other character follow
• May 12 14:00:18 <Kyth> Do you need it on for both characters? i have it on for the follower
• May 12 14:01:39 <Kyth> And about the mapped keys, in lotro its always been ./follow i have never seen a key binding for this
• May 12 14:02:35 <nathanastack> You can set /follow somewhere on your quickslot bars, for instance at the end of the bottom one, which corresponds to "=" and make a key map in lotro to send = to your slave lotro
• May 12 14:03:12 <nathanastack> or change the quickslots bindings to anything u want
• May 12 14:03:29 <Kyth> How do you set /follow to a key binding as you describe?
• May 12 14:07:09 <nathanastack> in-game type /quickslot 12 /follow
• May 12 14:07:09 <nathanastack> that will set /follow command to slot 12
• May 12 14:07:18 <nathanastack> then in-game, go to keybindings
• May 12 14:07:51 <nathanastack> esc > Options > Keymapping. Then click on quickslot 12
• May 12 14:07:56 <nathanastack> and press the key u want it set to
• May 12 14:08:19 <Kyth> perfect. Thanks nathan.
