Utility EQBZ Multiboxer 4.5.2

Added

- AutoLogin teams. Save more than one set of slot-to-character assignments and switch between them from the Launcher or AutoLogin tab, so
you can run different groups without redoing your slots every time. Your current setup carries over automatically as the "Default" team.
Teams only store which character goes in which slot passwords stay in MQ2AutoLogin's database like always.

Fixed

- Re-applying a split-monitor layout no longer grows the foreground window by 25% on scaled displays. The first apply was always fine; it
was the re-apply from the Window Layout Manager that inflated it.
- Preview tiles no longer sit on top of other programs. They stay above the game while you play, but any other window you switch to now
covers them like normal and they restack correctly on every swap.
- Clicking the desktop no longer makes the active session disappear.
- After swapping to a session that was minimized, clicking the desktop or another window no longer makes that session pop back up and steal
focus.
- Sessions that come back from minimize (or launch at the wrong size) are now resized back to the layout size when arranging or swapping,
instead of staying small or stretched.
- Preview tiles no longer flicker on Alt-Tab.
- The preview tile row no longer runs off the screen with 3 to 5 sessions.
- Fixed a crash when closing all sessions.
- A session launched through a launcher could occasionally be flagged as exited right after it started. Fixed.
- Cleaner shutdown of session processes when closing the app.

Fixed​

• Reconfigured Foreground session for split monitor configurations to not overtake the start menu and account for the correct sizing.
• Reconfigured Foreground sessions for non split monitor to not overtake tiled sessions in the background preventing GUI windows from showing correctly.

Changed​

• Increased performance on swapping sessions.

Fixed​

• Highlights for 4.4.0:
  
  • Split-monitor mode — active session fullscreen on your main monitor, every other session tiled live on a second monitor (Grid / Horizontal / Vertical, aspect-correct). Now rock-solid at any session count, engages automatically on launch, and "Leave a hole" marks the active session.
  • Single shared EverQuest install: no more per-session cloned folders; your UI follows the character and the per-folder crashes are gone.
  • Drag-to-edit layouts: click/drag/resize boxes with snapping, an "Edit Large" pop-out, and a Custom hand-edited style.
  • "Arrange All" button + Ctrl+Alt+B one press re-tiles every session into your layout (works in split and on still-loading sessions).
  • Frame-limiter toggle (off by default).
  • Fixes: autologin on servers with spaces in the name, Alt+Tab no longer shuffles sessions, sessions land on the correct monitor, layouts honor your row/column counts, international-keyboard hotkeys capture correctly, and several stability fixes.

​

Fixed​

• Couldn't assign hotkeys with certain modifier combos.** With Ctrl+Alt (AltGr) or Alt+Shift held — common on international keyboard layouts or with multiple input languages installed — the final key was dropped during capture, so the combo wouldn't save and cleared when you released the keys. All key variants are now captured correctly.
• Re-assigning a cleared/disabled hotkey silently did nothing.** Editing a slot whose hotkey had been cleared (or disabled) to a new key showed the new key but it never fired, and it was lost on the next launch. Re-assigning a key now re-enables the binding.
• Attaching to a window that just closed could crash the app.** If a game window exited between selecting it in "Attach Existing…" and clicking Attach, the app crashed; it now shows a "window no longer available" message instead.

Uncategorized​

• Switching sessions from the Windows taskbar or Alt+Tab now stays in sync, instead of leaving the previous session's thumbnail black or showing a session in both the foreground and a thumbnail.
• Launching sessions no longer flashes a series of command prompt windows. Per-session folders are now created natively instead of through the command shell.
• Close All no longer freezes the app while it shuts the sessions down.

Uncategorized​

• Fixed Global hotkeys by moving the keyboard hook to its own thread with a watchdog running to monitor it.
• Background sessions now keep a configurable amount of memory resident (default 230 to 300 MB, set in Settings or settings.json) instead of being fully trimmed. The aggressive trim was starving the DirectX renderer, causing render glitches and a hard hitch when swapping back to a session. Keeping a resident floor fixes both.
• Fixed vertical layouts launching at the wrong size, which left a black gap below the main window. Foreground sizing is orientation-aware and works at any resolution, not just 16:9.
• Windows no longer overlap the taskbar. The foreground is sized to fit the monitor work area, accounting for the EQ window frame.
• All sessions now size identically, so background windows no longer show behind the foreground.
• Render resolution is stamped to match the window, fixing black bars on some setups.
• Reworked window sizing so the launch size and applied layout always match. Placement stays move-only, which keeps the mouse aligned.
