[quote]In Multiplicity 3, I believe I was able to use a single hotkey to open and close the KVM window. But in version 4, there is only the option to open new windows. [/quote] I will pass on your feature request, thank you. If quicker access is really your concern, you can create shortcuts to specific KVM MP PCs Sean Drohan<br

[quote]I keep getting this issue on seemless connections on multiplicity 4 when I drag those dark monitors, they disappear they also disappear when placed, and they give me no connection [/quote] Set aside 'advanced' for a moment, uncheck it. Are you able to make a successful connection to the Secondary? If not, please start here
[quote who="johne53" reply="5" id="3955555"] do they all need to run one of those two OS's? [/quote] Yes, Multiplicity has a Parent \ Child relationship and the app needs to be installed on each PC. Sean Drohan Stardock Product Lifecycle Manager

[quote who="Mad Trix" reply="5" id="3955567"] Should I uninstall Multiplicity 3 first or will it be removed automatically by installing Version 4? What would you recommend? [/quote] Installing over (on all) installations should be fine. Sean Drohan Stardock Product Lifecycle Manager
[quote who="johnbloom" reply="11" id="3955478"] Sean, I am using the secondary PC name, not it's IP address. The computers are both wired. I am also using Multiplicity 3.6, Build 00105, I haven't upgraded to 4.0 yet, but it sounds like user stardock 641 above is having the same issue with 4.0 that I'm having with 3.6. [/quote] It would be prudent to install the trial for MP4 (on all PCS, not just the Primary) as that is our main focus of late. </p
[quote]Can the Seamless Display option be used to play a game? It must be better than RDP but I'm guessing it would still be pretty laggy. [/quote] Much depends on the connection medium (Ethernet being the best of the options), but yes, we tested gaming with it and is a legitimate use case. Sean Drohan Stardock Product Lifecycle Manager
[quote who="bwana4swahili" reply="110" id="3955522"] Running the latest version of Win 11 on desktop and laptop. I have the vertical taskbar configured for the right side of the screen. On occasion the taskbar does not populate, i.e.: nothing shown in it. This occurs most often when returning from hibernation; however, it also occurs on startup as it did this morning on my laptop. The start menu can still be accessed by clicking on the blank taskbar
And if you turn it off, the fake mouse pointer option? If it works as expected with it unchecked, that is how you should use it. Sean Drohan Stardock Product Lifecycle Manager
[quote quoting="post"] I'm guessing that Multiplicity requires the keyboard and mouse to be wireless, yes? I've a wireless keyboard available here but I use a Microsoft Trackerball here (wired) rather than a mouse (I've always had a preference for trackerballs...) So does that mean my setup here wouldn't work with Multiplicity? [Edit...] Also, if the monitor expects a wired input, how will two (or more) cumputers work with Multiplicity? [/quote] I am no

[quote who="OutpostDEaD" reply="4" id="3955452"] So, I went back to my original startup setup. I then selected the 'Always use the IP address (192.168.x.x)' option in the Primary PC KVM settings. I have been testing this setting since last night. So far, every single power on/off, restart, wake from sleep, and wake from hibernate cycle test, with Nord set to auto-start and auto-connect to VPN, has resulted in the correct (and instant) mouse movement within the secondary PC.

[quote who="johnbloom" reply="3" id="3955336"] FYI, I rolled back the 24H2 feature update, and the disconnect problem went away. So it's pretty clear that the 24H2 update is causing the disconnect issue. As 24H2 is rolling out, are there any others finding this problem? [/quote] We have several internal PCs that are on 24H2 (and scores that have been sold that are using it). If you are connecting via hostname, try entering the IPv4 address

[quote]Single Key, Multiple Activations or Multiple Keys, Single Activation? [/quote] Single key, multiple activations would mean you have 1 key and can activate multiple Primary PCs with it. The quantity at purchase would be how many concurrent activations (Primaries) can be attached to that key. Multiple keys \ single activation is a single key with 1 concurrent activation associated with it. The quantity at purches determines how many
If Nord were set to a manual startup (or 'delayed' that can be set if its a service - which I suspect it is), and you make the KVM connection, is all fine then as well? Is so, I am not certain how we can help here as it seems to be a 'race' (in the chaotic process that is a wake \ startup) that MP is somehow getting put to the back of the bus (so to speak). In any event, it would be interesting to know the results of the test. Sean Drohan Stardock Product Lifecycl
[quote who="Levity02" reply="95" id="3955170"] I will be reverting to the public release since the system tray is broken and that's critical functionality. If you'd like me to test anything further, I'll reinstall the beta. [/quote] Thankyou but it will be unlikely that anything is asked for or addressed before we return from beak. Please see the pinned holiday message at the top of the forum for the schedule. Thanks for the feedback.
