Hey guys, I've been having issues when dualboxing on two separate monitors where after awhile the client will just crash. Usually the 2nd client i open is the one crashing. I open my main on monitor 1 and alt on monitor 2 and just click back and forth. Anywhere from 2 min to 2 hours later it just randomly crashes. It crashes a lot faster the more often i click between screens.

I've seen people DB exp parties and crap and have zero issues and everyone I ask who db's say they do not have this issue; any suggestions? Thanks!

Edit: It also happens if i have work up on one monitor and the game on another monitor. If I switch too often or too fast or something then only the open client will crash. No issues with my work RDP session crashing.

Do you have switchmon?

I used to crash tabbing while using a PS4 controller. Swapping to xbox fixed it. They use different input methods, so probably an issue with dsinput (believe that's what PS4 uses).

I do not, i just manually switch.

Interesting, I do use a wired PS4 controller. I'll see if i can't use an xbox one and get it set up, button layout should stay the same yeah?

Can try using switchmon. It might help

Hey Skittles, just wondering and also to whoever who might know. But I can't seem to get switchmon working on my Xbox controller or PC.

Is there like a guide on how to use it? what kind of settings I need? etc..

Thanks

I think you have to re-setup the button layout in the FF config if you switch, but it's not too difficult.

I had this problem for a long time using a knock off PS2 controller I bought at Gamestop just to play FFXI. The knock off controller recently started having hardware issues due to wear and tear so I bought a Dualshock PS3 controller that connects via Bluetooth and haven't had the issue since. I use switchmon so I can just press R1 to swap betweeen the two characters. So I am guessing it has to do with the type of controller you use.

Does switchmon negative the controller? Or do i still need to address my controller issue? I use the default PS4 controller, wired.
