I was playing on Lock poker today and every time i re-sized a table all of my tables would freeze for at least 30 seconds, causing me to fold many hands during the session. I want to know which site is the least laggy. I did turn off animations and put the graphics quality on low, and if anything it just made it worse...

Were you using other softwares while playing? HEM lags a lot when I have more than 16 tables running.

I was using PT3 but the most tables i was playing at once was only 5 or 6.

I believe that all of the Merge sites use the same software so it won't matter which site you choose.

I guess my next question would then be is anybody else experiencing this same problem as me?

i've experienced that a few times if i recall using lock client and also carbon client on merge. if it lagged for more than a few seconds it would usually perform illegal operation and need to be shutdown which was ridic tilting

A faster computer may help. I used to experience lag but got a new computer and don't anymore.

all the same, only differ the colors.

Any one else experiensing total freezes of the Merge client while playing (has to be killed from task manager - and fast if trying to reconnect in time)? This also freezes all input to all other poker clients until the Merge client (Poker Nordica) is killed. Only connection I could think of was the HUD but yesterday this happened without a Merge table open for the first time.
Win7, PT3, TST, Merge working lagless untill the sudden freeze.

I've been playing merge casually for a bit over a year. I've multi-tabled up to 15 tables with no issues lag or freezing wise. Then again I have a beast of a computer designed for gaming / video editing so thats probably why.

My sole complaint is the lobby refresh rate seems to be garbage. A lot of the faster filling six max tourneys at the extreme micro limits fill almost instantaneously and its a real bitch when it doesnt update.

I had problems freezing up and lagging on all my computers and laptops that use W7. I never crash on my laptop and pc that run Vista so I installed virtual vista on one of my W7 computers and since then I have never froze. This is just my experience.

Isn't carbon one of them?

overbet yo!

Merge with HEM1 in my netbook runs o.k HM2 though tilts everything!Thinking of changing my hard drive with a SolidStateDisk heard from a friend that a SSD drive can speed up a slow p.c enough...Anyone with experience pls put your input")

RPM crashes my new pc every time I play but it works fine on my older laptop
