For those who are 4 boxing

Question for those who are 4 boxing.

Do you have 4 video FX screen on main screen or none at all. Or you just swap window to look at the loots for the other chars after killing the mob.

I am dual boxing using stacking the video screen and the main window have a video FX screen so I can check for loot drop on the other char.

Re: For those who are 4 boxing

My setup on 2 monitors is as shown behind me in the Get more crappy loot video. (full screen stacked on main screen + 4 video fx on second screen)

I highly prefer this layout for Diablo 3 over anything else I've tried on 1 monitor or 2.

Thank you Lax, nice video promotion. Now I have to go get another monitor and start going to gym to get those muscle build up. :D :lol:

Re: For those who are 4 boxing

Lax, how to you make the 4 fx video place in the 2nd monitor.

Today, I get another monitor but I can't get the video fx on to the 2nd monitor. I use window layout wizard that stack full screens on one monitor.

Playing 4 boxing is another challenge so hard to keep them together. :lol:

Re: For those who are 4 boxing

I have manage to created video fx in the 2nd monitor.

But the problem is the 4 character will go their own away when I try to pick up the loot and also while fighting boss or elite group.

So I try to create a small video fx window in the main screen but fail badly. I don't know where I go wrong as I follow the wikipage guide. This small video fx window is to help to click all window at the same spot and hopefully all the chars will gather at that spot.

Image

As you can see all my other video fx disappear and the small videofx appear in the 2nd monitor too.

Re: For those who are 4 boxing

Trying to understand this a bit more... there is still 4 unique windows open on the "main screen" and an additional window on the secondary monitor that houses all 4 screens into one, so essentially 5 sceens total? I was hoping this replaced the need for having 4 screens stacked as it would theoretically reduce cpu/gpu requirements. Making sure this is correct.

Re: For those who are 4 boxing

There is a total of 5 screen.

The fifth screen is where all the 4 video fx is located.

Re: For those who are 4 boxing

I guess I'm trying to understand it a bit more, do you notice an improvement in playability with this change as opposed to 1 on main screen and 3 small ones on the other screen?
