EQ and Multiplicity

I just downloaded the trial for testing today. Got it loaded and things were going well. Was able to play both accounts when I started. I camped secondary account to load a different account and could not return to primary machine. Primary machine is Vista and secondary is XP. I could do a Ctrl-Alt-Del and the Vista box would switch to the options for Shut Down, Task Manager, etc., but that was the only control I had and I had to click Shut Down (or Log Off, I forget) quickly in order to free up the primary machine.

I just looked through some of the older posts on this subject. I am guessing that this is the same problem that was previously posted about and that my camping of the secondary account was coincidental. Would love to see this work. I regularly two-box and occasionally three-box and this sure looked like a good way to escape the constant reaching around to different keyboards/mice. Hope it gets worked out.

What version of Multi are you running and what OS on each machine?

Version says 1.2 Trial, I just downloaded it yesterday so I'm guessing it's the latest. Primary machine is Vista and Secondary is XP SP2.

This might be the same issue that occured with another MMO. It was due to anti-cheat software built in. I will let the devs know about this. Thanks!

I am using version 1.2 of Multiplicity Pro (that is as specific as i could find the version number) and Windows XP Pro on the primary computer with XP Media Center ed. on the secondary. I continue to have the same Everquest problem where the primary computer's game frequently stops responding after switching screens.

I am using multiplicity pro 1.21 with everquest. It works for a while then it will stop responding to the game after you leave it and come back to the main computer. the mouse pointer will still show the tool tip text in the game but clicking will have no effect on the game. Please find a fix for this plz.

What is the current version number of your Multiplicity? There has been an update recently. 

I have 1.21 and the problem still remains. EQ on the host pc (both running windows xp) will not accept input.

Sadly I've purchased this software and it doesn't appear to be working yet. Any chance it'll be looked at?

 

You've got an issue with your installation or you're trying to run full-screen on the secondary - run both primary and secondary in windowed mode and fullscreen them.  Multiplicity works for 4 different client machines with eq2 (I've tested) this way without any issues.

EQ and EQ2 are two different games. I have never had a problem as the OP stated with EQ2. I had it all the time in EQ. Multiplicity still locks up the primary computer in Everquest. I seriously doubt this will get fixed.  Everquest works differently then EQ2 and WoW, lots of boxer type programs do not work well with EQ and it's because of how EQ handles inputs as backgroud/foreground. There is a program called Innerspace that will force EQ into the foreground where inputs will work and I assume multiplicity will work, but I never tried it. I just use my ultraportable laptop as the primary machine and have EQ on other machines. So long as EQ is not being played on the primary machine, all is good.

 

Also, I 6 boxed EQ2 for  a bit using mulitplicity and had it all running in full-screen. Worked fine.
