Character set won't load past 12 clients

I have been playing with 18 clients for a long while now and today I try loading my character set and it loads each client like normal but stops at the 12th one.

I run the game from the bin>exefile.exe so I don't have to mess with the new launcher.

I have tried making a new character set. failed

I have tried downloading isboxer suite to update anything. failed

I have tried to select each character individually from the set and load them, failed (still only loads 12 at max)

The 12 i can load work no problem.

My machine has run 21-25 clients normally everyday prior til now. I have plenty of hardware resources to support them.

Windows 7 pro x64
24 gig ram
amd 8 core fx 3.6


I need help figuring out how to get innerspace to load all the clients in my character set like it use to.

The EVE client defaults to Direct3D 11 now, which probably makes different use of resources; it might work better for you in Direct3D 9 mode. http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4968

It might also make a difference what windowed mode setting the game is set to (in the in-game video options).

Ok, this fixed loading past 12 clients, but is it normal for there to be an equal number of extra dos prompt looking windows lingering about? I typed the information exactly as the dx9 post you linked had.

The "/noconsole" part from the post I linked prevents those windows from popping up
