How to identify which EnB client has crashed

[jrichards]

NOTE: This may not work if multi-boxing off the same exe but I found it works great for my setup.

 

I run multiple E&B client.exe's but when one hangs/crashes, and the active program icon in the taskbar does not show a master server connection problem, how can I identify which client to close?

 

Normally I just see a bunch on main (32 bit) icons and I would just cross my fingers and close them hoping I got lucky.

 

However, I found that I can right click on the 'tab section', of the Task Manager, and add Process name as a tab. In order for this to work, to identify the crashed client.exe, you must name your client something distinct. I just add a number so I know which client is which. By doing this its very easy to identify which character/window has crashed/hung, close that client from the Task Manager, and leave all the other clients running.

 

 

Yes, I know, this has been around forever.....but I just discovered it. /facepalm ? Hope this helps.

I use a heavily modified version of Wolfie's launch scripts, which names each client window uniquely. Your tip is also useful to people like me, we just have to expand the process to see windows that are a child of the process. Task Manager will list the window name(s).
