Follow Broken with Jamba

Hi, i was using Jamba this am and the follow strobe worked fine. I turned Jamba off temporarily and when i turned it back on the follow is broken. First it made my master follow the slave. Now it does not work at all. How do i fix it? What window should i have focused when i press the key combination? Do i have to focus on the other party member? please help, the fact guide does not say exactly what to do.

Re: Follow Broken with Jamba

There has been an issue with Jamba Strobe, from day one.

Basically, if you're on one toon (current master) and have Strobe enabled.
And then, without disabling strobe you switch to a new master.
And either Jamba auto-enables strobe (or you manually enable it), at times it gets messed up.

Most of the time it works.
But occasionally, the game thinks the old master is still the strobe target.

And when that happens, until you camp out and back into the game, you cannot get rid of that.



I personally removed Strobe from my setup entirely, because this infrequent/seemingly random bug is annoying.
The first session, I left toons behind now and then.

After a while, I got into the habit of spamming my FTL Follow Me hotkey, whenever the lead/master toon was going somewhere.
Now it is automatic, via muscle memory.
I placed it on a mouse thumb button, so anytime I want to move via holding both mouse buttons, the follow me ability is there too.

Phase lines can still be annoying.
But Jamba does spam my screen with a raid warning, when follow breaks.
So it is easy to push my slaves-move-forward mapped key, so they all cross the phase line, and then press the mouse thumb button again.



Take your pick, really.

Ditch Strobe and manually press follow a lot.
Or keep Strobe, and accept it will occasionally (and randomly) bug out which will force you to relog.
