Re: Multiboxing with only 2 account help with screen size :(

Any of the layouts provided by the wizard will give you the right Aspect Ratio in order to not be distorted, calculating the best (recommended!) size for the windows. If you've just dragged your little region to the middle from the default sizes, then you're doing it right.

What you need if anything is this sticky thread about resolutions: http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=3206 -- spoiler: you want to set windowed fullscreen in the game

That's pretty much it, assuming you have left "Instant Swapping" enabled ;)

Thank you I also having another problem. When I click f5 to switch broadcast on and off the message 'broadcast on' and 'off is very very blurry you cant hardly see what it says. Do you know what I did wrong? Also I set my 1st screen on 1280 - 720 is that ok?

Blurry, pixelated, or distorted? I'm going to GUESS that you meant distorted because when you're using a non-standard resolution with Diablo 3 it tends to do that with all the text. The further the resolution is from "standard" the worse the text can look. What might is help is cycling the display modes of the game clients (Windowed(FS) > Windowed > Windowed (FS)) and then restarting them. If that doesn't help, then the only way to fix it is to probably use a resolution that's closer to what the game client likes.

Whatever the game shows in its list of resolutions is what it likes. The further you move away from them the more likely things (like text) are going to look weird or distorted.

Pretty sure you're the same person in the IRC chat at the moment (with a different name), but:
