Innerspace/ISboxer Window Dissapearing Problem

Post by lcdatalore » Thu Aug 27, 2009 4:37 pm

Well so far i am loving the innerspace/isboxer trial, but i havening a deal breaking problem... I am 3boxing Everquest and have it set up to have inactive windows at the bottom and active window above them.

My problem is after 10-20min or multiple times of switching windows is that they start to dissapear... It still shows all 3 sessions open on the task bar but the tile itself will just dissapear and it wont show in main window or inactive windows. The only way to fix this is to restart the game entirely.

I am using vista. Appreciate any info anyone has to give.

Hopefully someone can help cause i would really enjoy using this program in the future, but at this point it just makes it unplayable.

Again any help is appreciated.

I still have this problem, but i found a window set up that isn't giving me any problems.

Ive changed Swap Hot Character to main region to only when i press a certain hot key. This lets me play the char in tiny window mode. Which isn't exactly how i want to play it, but it minimizes the disappearing problem.

I also set use region 2 when session 1 is inactive this also seems to help my problem.

Using this method i haven't had any disappearing problems for 2 days, but the trade off is i have to use tiny windows on my other chars.

this is an ongoing problem with IS and ISBoxer. One of the "known" causes is minimizing a window will cause this effect.

I have the same problem 2-boxing using 2 monitors. Even without minimizing, one window (usually the boxed toon) will disappear. I learned that if I /exit out on him and load him up normally (not using the isboxer profile) that I no longer have the problem.

Sadly, it occurs even when you don't minimize a screen. At least for me, I alt-tab between the sessions. It's a habit from before IS (and I believe WinEQ2) and I just never changed. I'm not sure if Lax ever found the reasoning behind it and stopped because noone else reported it after he "hoped" to have fixed it or if it just seeped thru the cracks and he forgot about it because he's busy with lots of other things (RL and next gen IS stuff). I just learned to live with it my way, hoping that it gets fixed with each IS/ISBoxer patch which I know will happen eventually. He's normally really good with figuring things out unless it totally stumps him, which is rare in my experience.

i know, a little rambling there, sorry.
