No doubt a large performace gain could be had if we could somehow disable the software sound processing on all the slaves.ДЇirst step to multiboxing EQ2 is set your graphics performance to minimum, aka lowest quality (the bottom choice on the performance drop down). I turn the sound down on all the slave instances and leave it at that. As far as I can tell, you can not disable the sound in EQ2 which is very, very annoying.

So it shall be software sound from now on. Hardware sound is a little bit annoying to setup and when I tried to run multiple instances with EAX sound on some very bad things happened. You can have software sound by default (recommended) or you can use hardware sound (eax/creative/soundblaster). The sound processing is another sticking point of mine. There has been rumors of off loading to the video card coming soon (we can only hope). There is a lot of software rendering going on in EQ2. I am confident that I could run 4 instances of EQ2 on this machine and turn up the graphics on the master a little. All processor cores are at 80% or above all the time. Six instances of EQ2 at minimum graphics brings my computer to its knees. I use a Q6600 3.0 Ghz with 8gb ram and Ati HD 4870 1Gb video.

Don't expect to run full graphics with even a top end machine and one instance without some hiccups. EQ2 is a resource hog, no getting around it. You would set up a Mapped Key to switch destination windows (there are a couple examples on the KVM Mode page) ISBoxer now has KVM Mode directly from one to another game window or windows (on the same or other PC), which you might find preferable to having to move the mouse across - you keep your mouse on the original game window for mouse placement (that should be some good time savings), and you will see the cursor on the other window as well. Quoted from Lax (IS developer) with regards to Multiplicity/Kavoom KVM type software: Gaming devices supported by IS: Logitech G15 and G11 (though not G13 or G19 yet), Nostromo n52 Speedpad works, also older USB X-keys devices work (newer firmware support has not yet been confirmed but is implemented). Keymapper is the utility used to setup what keys you want sent where (which includes roundrobin, whitelist/blacklist) and is very powerful once fully utilized. Repeater will handle all of your keyboard/mouse multiplexing across all of your instances even to other machines with IS installed. There is no need to use Keyclone here at all.Д«riefly, Windowsnapper will handle all of your window region positioning and PiP functions. If you are using Innerspace then you should be using Isboxer along with Windowsnapper, repeater and keymapper.
