Multiboxing not working as intended

Hi

I have set up a team of three chars in EQ2 with the Wizard and the standard setup. It starts well an I could also login.

What works is the broadcast of the 1 - 0 Keys.
What doesn't work are the broadcast of the ALT and CTRL Keys. Also, the "Follow" command doesn't trigger the Macro on CTRL-1.

I attaced my config to this post an I hope someone could help me here...

Best regards, Seamus

I have a similar issue, I'm using standard, standard alt and standard ctrl click bars. Keyboard pressing 1 thru = works on all toons, they all go to Hotbar 1. Mouse clicking those same keys on the standard click bar also works as intended on all toons.

However, when I keypress ALT or CTRL (+ 1 thru =), you can see the ALT or CTRL click bar light up in the correct position, but it activates the corresponding key on hotbar 1, the 1 thru = keys. Same with the following toons, it activates hotbar 1. And when I mouse click the ALT or CTRL click bar on the main character, the commands go to hotbar 1 (as if I was mouse clicking the standard click bar) on all characters, main and followers.

You may need to disable the new virtual input for EQ2.

This solved my problem, mostly, thank you. But now, all the key presses and mouse clicks thru the click bars work for a short time, and then stop. It seems to stop working randomly, but definitely when there's a change in targets or interaction. I found that if I turn broadcasting on, then off again, it gets everything working again.

Edit: I figured this out. Somehow, I believe my accountname_characters.ini files got confused with the same names on different servers when I created the character group in Isboxer. I remember a popup in isboxer come up when I created the group, and I just clicked yes without paying attention. It assigned characters from different servers. I deleted the group, and re-created it making sure everything matched. Looks like it fixed it!

I'm having similar problem. After disabling New Virtual Input the correct keys were sent to all windows - CTRL in my case. But it stopped working after a few clicks...perhaps due to swapping windows?

Does anyone have an resolution please?
