If we are talking about FPS i think its pretty okay to set it to 15,in case of frame lock ,yea it slows down bot's actions but i'm not sure about the outcomes of this when gathering yet it doesnt lower my KPH that much(something like %8-10) when grinding so OP better test this himself. Also it's a sure thing that different bot bases consume different amounts of CPU even different quest behaviours does so.
Bought 3rd PC... Xeon E5440 - 5 bots max (8.1) FX8350@4.7Ghz+SSD - 12 bots max (8.1) FX8350@4.5Ghz+HDD - 9 bots max (win7 lite or win 10 ltsb lite - no changes) i'm tired
I have question for multibotting - how do you run 10-12 bots per PC ? Do you run them all straight or you install them under VMWare or some other VPS software?
I ran them from different virtual disks I made from one disk, no VMs, but I purely do this for organizational purposes, it actually hurts my poor HDD. Some say it is better to download a clean install, copy paste it to different folders, and run a client from every folder is the way to go, I have no experience in doing that. I do run a different IP for every bot and everyone who says they run 10 bots on one pc with the same IP, I automatically dismiss as frauds. Anecdotally I have found that is a great way to get rekt.
Hi guys, i5-6500 3.3Ghz, Asus H110M-R m-board, 8 RAM, good GPU - i simply cannot run 5 acc. 4 are doing ok, with a little lags maybe sometimes, but fifth window just stucks at loading screen and constanlty disconnects. I was able to run all 5 after pc restart, but 1-2 windows freezes for 2-3 sec constantly, and any disconnect bring them down to 4. Settings are as low as possible ofc. Also i have 100% cpu usage even with 3 bots active. I don't know what is wrong, my friends 7 y.o. i7-2.8 Ghz runs 5 accs like a cake with same 8 RAM. Bad optimization?
Running 5 bots, 24/7. Same install, same IP, everything is the same. They're even botting the same dungeon. Been active in 4 of the past 6 months.
Get a SSD, after you see the difference get another 8gig Ram, with a clean install of win10 , that upgrades should allow you to run 8 instances smoothly maybe even more with win7. Just dont forget to limit your fps, use lowest resolution and graphic settings. My i7-2630qm can handle 7 bots pretty neat on %75-%85 load, and yes it is a laptop cpu. So get a SSD you will see difference. Edit: Btw by smoothly i dont mean that you will be able to use your computer when you are botting, bots will run smooth and cpu on %80-100 load.
+1 for SSD. I was running a five man dungeon team, same PC, same Windows, different WoW folders. Windows running off a 320GB HDD and WoW folders from another 320GB HDD. Even spreading out Windows and bot to different HDDs, it would choke and cause fuckups in dungeons with loading screens. Ended up with just 5x solo farming lower level dungs. AMD Phenom II X6 1055t, 8GB DDR2-667, AMD HD6570, 2x Samsung HD300HJ.
100% No really, not a great question... Your cooling solution should always be greater than your heat output, simple equation.
Forgot to say, i have SSD ofc. Problem solved, it was mine inadvertence - no limit for max and foreground FPS, so each window was going for as much fps as they can=) Limited both to 15 fps on all 5 accs, and now they run run easily with 60-70% cpu usage at max
