DAoC problems

I can get three accounts to load to the character select screen. When I select a character and hit the play button I get a white screen and the games crash. I have sent in the reports for each crash. I looked for the Nvdia file listed as needing to be disabled in a prior post but did not see it in my system.

A small request also, I am using a multiple monitor setup. I have one account on one screen and the other two set to be on the left side of the right side monitor. I cannot click on my character select button on the "main" screen. I can move the mouse and the selections lightup but no clicks effect it. If I click one of my smaller windows it moves to the full monitor and I am able to get them all selected by checking the broadcast button. Any ideal why the mouse cannot click anything until it is switched to one of the other character select screens when moved to the full screen monitor? Thanks

Re: DAoC problems

Are your video drivers 100% up-to-date as per www.nvidia.com?

It does not need to be disabled, you need to update your video driver from nvidia.com as MiRai suggests

The issue is a resolution mismatch. DAOC is one of the few games that does not adjust its resolution to match your window size, so ISBoxer can't enforce the resolution it wants and expects as per your Window Layout. To correct the issue, you want to make sure your Window Layout is setting the window size to the same size that the game is configured to render. So if the in-game video options say 1024x768, your Window Layout for DAOC needs to use 1024x768.

To change your Window Layout to match:
1. In the top left pane under Window Layouts, select yours
2. In the bottom left pane select "Regions" to bring up the regions editor in the bottom right
3. In the bottom right pane, click on your main region
4. Now in the properties box to the right, adjust the Size field to match the resolution configured in the game

Re: DAoC problems

FYI: Don't multibox anything more than 3 toons. People will report you, and about 2years ago the minority became the majority due to population dissipation. This means that the QQers about multiboxers got their way, complained enough, and now all multiboxing is essentially illegal in DAOC.

ISBoxer is also not allowed in DAOC. I've had all 6-8 of my accounts temp banned about a year ago for 5days. Needless to say I permanently quit when that happened even though it has been my favorite game since forever.

Re: DAoC problems

Thanks! It kept telling me that my driver was updated. I went to the site and downloaded a beta and now all three accounts load. I set all the screens to the same 1280 X 1024 and still cannot get any clicks on the main screen. It is also seems to be making another of my toons the "main" not the first one listed and logged in first. I checked the "mute background game window" but the main is muted and sound is on another one when I bring it to the fullsize screen.
