Windows 7 update?

[BilboBagginZ]

Hey.
Yes, I'm aware that the bot doesn't work on windows 7, and I'm aware that you have "reported it to your programmers and they are working on a fix".

But, do you have anything further to tell us? Do your programmers have any kind of progress report, or any information at all just to put our minds at rest?
You need to keep your customers informed, don't leave us in the dark. :\

Do you mean Rohan US bot, right? The programmer said it did support Windows 7 system, but he couldn't be sure it would work 100% for all the win7 system, it also ups onto the PC's configuration. And we will try our best to gradually perfect it. Thanks

Ohh, thanks for this!
I saw posts complaining about it and assumed it didn't work, I played with some settings and it works now.

Running the bot as administrator did NOT work for me, I had to turn off UAC, and Windows Firewall.

Also can I ask another question: When I'm botting, is nProtect supposed to be running? Because when I used to bot in the past, I'm sure I remember it used to disable nProtect?

Thanks.

We will ask the programmer about it, then reply you here. Thanks

Dual clienting works terrible on Windoes 7. If I have 2 characters botting at the same time, one of them will always disconnect.
And if I want to play on 1 chatacter, whilst botting the other, the bot automatically disconnects once a non-bot client is opened.

EDIT: Infact, it works if you open the non-bot character BEFORE the bot charaacter.

"No,nProtect won't run when botting " replied from the programmer.

Yes,bot indeed has some problems on multi-clients under windows 7.

Try as BilboBagginZ said above please:
Running the bot as administrator or turn off UAC and Windows Firewall.

Thanks for the replies staff!
Ok, so on 1 of my Windows 7 machines, the bot works fine. I can only have 1 character botting though, which is fine for me anyway. However, I can play 1 character, and have another character botting (this is very nice when I want to join a party on my melee character, but need a healer, I can log on to my friends priest and bot it).
So you cannot dual-bot.
But you can open as many clients as you want, but only 1 of them can be botting.

How I got it working on this machine
Turn off UAC completely.
START > Control Panel > System and Security > Change User Account Control Settings. - You will see a slider. Slide this to the bottom, "never notify". You should be asked to restart your machine, so restart it, and you're done.

Turn off Windows Firewall (and any other firewall or AV that might conflict)
START > Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall. At the left hand side, click "Turn Windows Firewall on or off", and in that box, tick both "turn off Windows Firewall" options.

-

The bot wouldn't work on a different machine because DEP (Data Execution Prevention) was turned on for all programs. So I changed this:

START > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced System Settings (left hand side).
In this box, click the "Advanced" tab. Now under "Performance" click "Settings".
In thix box, click the tab "Data Execution Prevention"
Tick the "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only".
Apply.

If the bot still doesn't work, I wouldn't reccomend trying to completely disable DEP (if there even is a way). Because DEP probably is not the problem.

In maybe a weeks time, I'm going to introduce a friend (Windows 7 user) to botting, also going to try and find a way to multi-bot. If I find out any other fixes I'll post here.
Hope this helps someone!
