Iboxer and Sony's Station Launcher problem

Hi all.

I just purchased Iboxer and been fiddling with it all night trying to get it to work but running into a few problems. I bought it to use with Vanguard Sage of heroes after reading on the webpage Iboxer supports it.

I should probably start with mentioning the steps i have taken and what problem I'm getting.

I use windows 7 64bit fully updated.


My first step is doing what the 40 second WoW instructional video says. My first wall comes when i have to choose the launcher. Vanguard doesn't have it's own launcher but is launched through sony's station launcher. Only one instance of the launcher can run at any given time. I assume this is what's causing my grief since inner space/Iboxer can't launch the game from it. Or I'm not doing it correctly.

1. Wizards > Quick Setup > Choosing Vanguard from dropdown menu > choosing Vanguard yet again below under "game" > add game from inner space task bar icon choosing the station launchpad since Vanguard doesn't have it's own working executable > choosing vanguard default profile in Iboxer "game profile" > choosing character names to group > choosing window layout style ..finish

After i choose my team in the inner space systrey menu ..station launcher runs and I am able to click on the vanguard link which takes me to the patcher check where i can launch the game. This is where i crash. After the crash another attempt is made by iboxer/inner space to run the second instance where it again crashes.


I can run multiple instances of the game on 1 PC by logging in via station launcher. Logging out of the station launcher itself and logging in with other handles. The station launcher is not required to run with the game.


Any help would be appreciated

Thank you

I have found an old launcher here http://vanguard.station.sony.com/install/ that works without the station launcher. but still the same issue. As the game is launching it crashes right before the game enters character select

I have now tried to delete the game .ini files, download the test build of IS. Use forced windowed mode in IS game configuration, turning off shaders and other graphical options in the game and changing different resolutions still to no avail

Thanks for reporting back with what you found. You can try getting me some diagnostic information from Inner Space. To do so, right click IS and select Console. In the console, type the command "diag" with no quotes. This will open up some info in notepad, which you can paste to me here or in email (lax@lavishsoft.com). I may be able to offer suggestions based on that information. I know of people that use IS with Vanguard but I don't know any specifics about how they run it, I don't think you're doing anything wrong.

Another thing you can try is to install an older version of Inner Space (on top of the current installation) that MAY work better for some people. Here's how:
1. Right click IS and select Patcher
2. Uncheck "Always patch" and close IS
3. Extract http://www.lavishsoft.com/downloads/Lavish.InnerSpace.5039.zip over your Inner Space folder

Your settings will be kept in tact.

This is the info via the console using "diag". I should note i have also tried Inner Space Kernel 1.10 Build 5212

I just tried a program called Keyclone with Vanguard and it crashes just as ISboxer does. Could it be the the Window layout styles that is somehow crashing it?. Keyclone uses a similar method of merging game windows for easy multiboxing.

I got it to load the game using build 5039. Now I have another issue with one of the two boxes being completely black ..it doesn't load like illustrated under windows layout either. I'm too tired tonight to experiment with it but will try tomorrow and see if I have my settings wrong or something. If I can't fix it myself I'll post again
