November Thunder Posted December 22, 2010 Report Posted December 22, 2010 I used to be able to dual client on my old laptop that had windows vista now i have a brand new desktop that has windows 7 and whenever i try to dual client it freezes the other client idk what to do.Please leave any suggestions you can think of thx.
Xtopher Posted December 22, 2010 Report Posted December 22, 2010 Try not using the patcher client but the direct game client in your Fro folder. I have the same problem when I try to run two of the patcher clients. I only use the patcher when I know theres an update.
November Thunder Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Posted December 22, 2010 Already tried that not workin still freezes :(
Danny Posted December 22, 2010 Report Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) Go to Start menu and select Control Panel. Inside in the control panel, look for " User Accounts ". Then click on " Change User Accounts Control Settings " and Choose " Never notify me " or " Turn it off ". Restart your computer and try dual clienting. Edited December 22, 2010 by Danny
Sensation Posted December 22, 2010 Report Posted December 22, 2010 If /wi is disabled in-game, enable it. Also playing windowed will be a lot smoother if you plan on dual clienting faster switching between windows.
November Thunder Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Posted December 23, 2010 Problem still persists ive done both things still freezing
Sensation Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 Go to setup.exe and change the software simulation source to your graphic card & lower your resolution a little. If it still freezes at that point, get dinput.dll (mouse freedom addon), it solved a lot of my problems for an unknown reason.
Apo Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) Is it just frozen or the screen is all black? This often occurs when an other application is running in full screen and you switch tab, only solution to this is avoiding full screen if you want to dual client. To ease your gameplay, get yourself Mouse Freedom from Here. Edited December 23, 2010 by Apo
November Thunder Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Posted December 24, 2010 I have been using mouse freedom the screen freezes and the mouse is frozen before i went to the other client.
Apo Posted December 24, 2010 Report Posted December 24, 2010 What's your circumstances. Resolution, full screen or not, video card, windows, 34 or 64 bit? At what momment does the error occur, right as you tab, or when you open the other client? Trying to gather as many info as possible to put myself in the situation and give you the best support possible.
November Thunder Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Posted December 24, 2010 No need problem fixed : ) It was because i was using 1patcher and the direct client so i tried using 2direct clients and no freezing. Guess i was used to use 1patcher and 1direct client before guess thats why i didnt know about it.Thanks for the help guys.
