Re: REALLY ANNOYED with ISboxer now

Hi. I'm sorry to hear about your anger management problems. Honestly, this isn't how to report an issue or ask for help with it. I'd much rather cut through the bullshit and talk about the issue.

If you think it was caused by updating ISBoxer, first check the About window under Help, About. If it says there's an update, then update and your problem might fix itself.

If it doesn't, or that doesn't help, then show me your configuration -- see the link at the top of the forum titled "How to share your configuration" -- and I'll see if there's anything of interest.

Yeah, looks like the CPU Strategy generator should disable the "Master slot" option for you by default instead of the current behavior. I'll have to do an update.

Try this. Run the CPU Strategy Wizard and set the "Master slot" to <NO SLOT>, you can leave the rest default. Export and see if that helps.

Re: REALLY ANNOYED with ISboxer now

It did not help me. I did the wizard and then i go to where it said slot one.. made it how you said empty... then i left everything else alone.. hit finish (did not see a exort button) that didn't work. Then i went back and did the same thing wih it but this time i changd the cpu thing at the bottom. Tried all those and still nothing. I am using a i3 in my comp...i was fine b4 you added all of the other stuff to it..this is causig me not to be able to play the game... any other suggestions?

Also when i go back into the wizard i still shows my main toon a master slot...i evn did export to innespace thing as well .....nothing ><

Re: REALLY ANNOYED with ISboxer now

Okay. I have another ISBoxer update that should help.
Code:
ISBoxer 39.1.810.1
    * Improved the default CPU Strategy for dual core (or fewer) processors, by not using a Master Slot. Also fixed a bug with not using a Master Slot, where it would still reserve a dedicated CPU


Download it through the About window (Help->About)

After the update, the CPU Strategy wizard should a) automatically select <NO SLOT> during the wizard, and b) generate a different strategy than you're currently using.

I think this is the only difference between 39 and 38 as far as any of this is concerned. ISBoxer 39's default CPU strategy -- from 39.1.807.1 and earlier -- assigned your cores like this:
Slot 1: 1,2
Slot 2: 3,4
Slot 3: 3,4
Slot 4: 3,4
Slot 5: 3,4

39.1.810.1 will instead use this by default:
Slot 1: 1,2
Slot 2: 3,4
Slot 3: 1,2
Slot 4: 3,4
Slot 5: 1,2

You can configure these yourself at any time per Slot in your Character Set. To do so, select your Character Set in the top pane, then in the bottom left pane select each Slot number. Highlight numbers in the CPU list to assign those CPU cores.

Your dual-core i3 is Hyper-threaded, so your 2 cores will show up as a real core and a fake "logical" core. As I understand it, they are designed to be used in real+logical pairs, and if you assign a game instance only to logical cores, it will be slow. So that's why they each get two cores, and why 1 goes with 2 and 3 with 4.

Also, I usually recommend getting as close to 1 core per game instance as possible. A quad core processor would handle 5 characters a lot better than a dual core.

Hope this helps
