only launches SOE launcher

i am brand new to this kind of thing in gaming, so i am sure i have muddled it up somewhere. :oops:

what is happening is that after having run the setup wizard for EQ2 for 3 characters to run, i saved the settings as instructed and then attempted to launch the game via the icon in the bottom right of the taskbar. i tried to do this several times. the first couple of times i simply selected the name of the character set i wanted to use. i also attempted to launch simply one slot as well.

each time i attempted a launch the EQ2 launcher would appear, i would then wait and when it became clear that nothing else was going to occur (about 5mins) i would close the EQ2 launcher down and attempt it again from the IS launcher icon in the tray.

i have file checked my EQ2 installation. i have rebooted my machine. i have created a second character set. i have checked for ghost EQ2 apps running.

while i am sure i am simply missing something basic i have run out of ideas or knowledge, even though your wiki and videos were very informative.

here is a paste to my ISB diagnostic. i ran the diag for crashes not knowing whether i should choose that or freezes.

along with this i am including a paste of my ISB configuration.

Re: only launches SOE launcher

It sounds like you've pointed Inner Space at EQ2's launcher, when you should have pointed it directly at the EXE file:

You'll need to double check your Game Profile in Inner Space and make any necessary changes:

Re: only launches SOE launcher

you were, of course, correct.

i must have done this somehow during installation as i used the drop down menu option for EQ2 in the setup wizard.

thank you for your time.

okay, second issue, i have got it all up and running it appears. but i am having an issue with the 'menu' ingame only activating the hotkey for Slot2 character. so that when i depress the 9 key or click on the 'menu' with the mouse only the Slot2 character does anything. (for simplicity's sake i created a team of only 2.)

there is an ability in each hotkey for hotbar1 that i am attempting to activate, so it's not due to an empty keystroke.

i have deleted and gone through the wizard twice with the EQ2 video playing along, pausing as necessary.

edit***i forgot to add that Key Map is on in both clients and Broadcast is off.

i found this post particularly explanatory. but still couldn't discover how to apply to my particular problem: http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/5061 ... d-menu-bar

this software is incredibly feature rich and to anyone doing multiboxing i don't think i can say enough good things about it. however, i'm afraid that multiboxing may just not be my thing, it's a bit anxiety inducing. :shock:

Re: only launches SOE launcher

First, I'd like to ask that you create new threads for new issues rather than compound a bunch of dissimilar issues into a single mega-thread. The topic of this thread is about the SoE Launcher, but now you're asking specifically about ISBoxer Menus. The main problem with this is that it makes it difficult to find useful information, because anyone who has an issue with the Menus, and does a search for them, is likely to skip over this thread entirely because of the original topic/subject matter.

To answer your question about the default Menu... Well, if the rest of the buttons work just fine and you haven't made any changes to your profile since your original post, then I would have to assume that "9" isn't correctly keybound in game on that character. If you can disable Key Maps, press 9, and the character does what it's supposed to do, then there might be a problem with the Menu. If the character doesn't do anything when you press 9 (and Key Maps are disabled), then the problem lies in game.

Also, anytime you make changes to your profile and want help with it, you should continue to share it along with your post for assistance; otherwise, the people helping you are taking shots in the dark guessing at what the answer may possibly be.

Spam it up all you need to. The easier it is for everyone to find information the better. ;)
