Game window locks up when Broadcasting is first enabled

Hello,

I have been using ISBoxer regularly for about a year at this point, but within the past few weeks, I have encountered a few issues that I dont know how to resolve.

When I start a character set (WoW) and enable broadcasting to type passwords, the window that had focus locks up for 10-60 seconds, along with anything else I try to mess with until it finally goes through. I believe that it started when (or shortly after) I accidentally screwed with resolution for one of the windows. I have to modify the first character in all of my sets to a resolution because the "Custom" one is broken. This happened after I hit alt+enter in game and got confused, I'm pretty sure this swapped it from Windowed to Windowed (Fullscreen). I am unsure if they are related but ISBoxer has worked a lot less seamlessly since this all started.

Once everything gets going, all is well. I can swap broadcasting/key maps without any sort of lag, but it really makes startup of teams annoying.

I am unsure where I would find any logs that would help me find my problem. I would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction, as I really don't want to recreate all of my teams.

Re: Game window locks up when Broadcasting is first enabled

It all sounds fairly unusual. WoW is probably the most forgiving when it comes to setting the window format/size.
As a general rule multiboxed games should be in Windowed or Windowed Fullscreen. Fullscreen (aka Exclusive Mode) is the only one you don't normally use, although WoW is pretty good about it. If you are having trouble with a specific character, then you could try deleting the config-charname.wtf for that character. It will be recreated on next launch (back to defaults) and should resolve any lingering issues with it. If it is a specific slot and all the time, then it is possibly your Window Layout that is causing the issue. Perhaps sharing your config will help find anything there.

Re: Game window locks up when Broadcasting is first enabled

So in the end, I am unclear as to why this problem was occuring. It affected my first window that opened on every character set I had and the broadcast bug was strange. After restarting Windows a second time, it seems to have corrected itself. Both issues no longer occur.

I did as you asked and looked through my config file, but (as usual) nothing in ISBoxer was causing my problem. Thank you for your assistance.
