What can i do? Answer man.... you see the freaking messages here in the forum but you just pass them.
Start from Pokerstars.exe and it doesn't update. Everyone should do this tbh, they're not adding any new features so an update is only going to break or remove stuff.

No and it's unlikely to be coming back despite the negative feedback...

Dear stars,
crashing again today, about thrice per hour...
imposible to play hyper satties or spins...
just crashed two times right after restarting the client
when i tried to log in with my RSA, my code has already been USED.
guess what, i had to wait a f***g minute before i could log in again!!!

do you know what a minute of sitting out in three 74$ satties feels like in a game where edge is so minimal and the rake is so high???!!! it feels that its useless to play. thats how it feels.

fix this. for the love of god.

also, note making and color labeling is impossible because every crash deletes new changes in notes file!

The ability to enable open fold was never an option in Settings, and that is what I was talking about - although I can understand how you might have been confused if you had not taken the time to read the prior posts for context.

So, to spell it out more clearly: yes, the team is aware that a number of players have suggested that if we want to hide open fold to protect newbies we should add an option to advanced Settings that would either hide or show the Fold button in 'check valid' situations, with the default being 'hide' (for newbies); then regs could go into Settings and enable it for themselves.

This idea - of adding a new, advanced option in Settings, is something the team is aware of. That's all I was saying.

And, although it's beside the point, it is not a matter of simply reinstating existing code; new code would have to be written to create the new option in Settings.

But the decision doesn't rest on how many lines of code would be needed. This is purely a policy decision by the PRM team. The Poker Room managers are listening to player feedback and discussing it. If the team decides to make any further changes with respect to the open-fold function, I will let you know - but for now the decision stands. All I can do at the moment is relay your thoughts and comments, which I am happy to do.

Upfront gotta ask, did Stars have an EXCESS OF RECS complaining about accidentally open-folding without being warned? Wasthere, basically, a scientific survey showing a need for this change?

I am honestly wondering.

Anyway, in response to your PERSONAL ATTACK:

Your gaslighting and accusatory presumptions are very concerning.

I am basically a rec. I keep trying to be hopeful Stars/FullTilt descent into a skill-free game at least stops accelerating. But now I suspect I am an overly loyal fool.

I play micros and almost 100% on my mobile, but I am a software developer who can imagine the back-end code for certain features -- like the "OPEN-FOLD" ability that has ALWAYS existed just not under that particular label/name! Nice try. GL is the method of those who can not rationally defend their position.


Look at my 2+2 handle -- I LEFT PARTY mainly for their support being guilty of far less insulting BS than what Stars has done for the last 18 months, NOT EVEN INCLUDING what your post just did. Personal attacks were never a regular thing in Party support thread, they seem to be in Stars now, wtf.

Other recs should be concerned how easily you dismiss their concerns / observations / analysis to the point of calling them grunching TROLLS. On this subject I am neither.


PS if you are exercising semantics, FINE there was never a setting labelled "OPEN-FOLD". Instead you had a popup prompt that asked what action to default to WHEN YOU CLICKED FOLD when you could have checked. That IS the same as "OPEN-FOLD" just a different label. The feature has been there for a decade, you try gaslighting casual readers of this thread who are too lazy/stupid to know better.


Scary to think at this point I am actually considering trying Party again. But your insulting post to me is symptomatic of Stars attitude -- first the regs were ecology-killers, now the non-gullible "don't pee on me and tell me it's raining" RECS are basically "Deplorables". Your competitors would love you to keep this up.

****ING THIS.

Thanks for your defense in such clear and brief wording.

Warning: Being less clear or more verbose earns you the name of troll and the implication you grunched or just do not understand context. HOW WELCOMING to recs who speak up in objection to arbitrary dictates of an untouchable industry leader. #HowToLoseAMonopoly

Given the current state of development, and in the interest of accuracy, shouldn't this thread be renamed the "PokerStars Software Updates Thread?"

I want to know something..if fold button doesnt work,then if a player is on sit out his hand will be checked or folded?I mean,now you cannot steal from a player who is sitting out?
And another thing..in a tournament,if you press info,on the largest stack will appear the shortest and viceversa

If you take no action when you can check, then when your time bank runs out your hand will be auto-checked, then eventually auto-folded when facing any action.

If you stand up (leave table), you will be auto-folded.

If you are sitting out, then you are not in the hand, you have nothing at risk on the table.

Regarding the tournament question, I'm not clear on what you are reporting. Can you post a screenshot showing where you are pressing info to see the stack size swapped?

Hi Keith, I can answer this for you. There's been a few reports about this in other threads. I've noticed the issue myself. It's when your playing an MTT and click on the 'info' tab in your chat box to check out player positions, places paid, stack sizes etc...that it occurs.

Here's a link to another thread with a screen shot (post 6800/ last post of the page):

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/61.../index272.html

As you can see in the pic, the largest stack is showing as 364K, the average stack is showing as 1.1m and the smallest stack is showing as 2.4m.

I was just about to upload a printscreen,but i saw that comentor above,so it;s useless to do it again.I dont understand the meaning of these changes,but i guess it's just another way to tilt some of us.

The windows in the client have some sort of lag or whatever(saturday at 17.00EET and sunday in the evening are the worst).
I will try to find something else to do instead of playing on pokerstars

Thanks, Sonic - I'll ask someone to investigate.

the exact wording of the crash i'm seeing is:

"Rational OpenGL Detector Client Software has stopped working"

and i get the same thing with the FullTilt client also. i never saw this before the FTP merge
I relayed your information to the team investigating the crash problems. First, thank you for posting your comments.

Their assessment is that OpenGL issues imply old drivers or very old hardware. If you open your user.ini file and set openGlSetting=1, it will disable OpenGL hardware rendering and force software rendering, which may resolve the crash problem for some players.

To do this, first exit the software (to save any pending settings changes), the restart the client and go to Help > Open My Settings Folder. In the folder that pops up, look for the user.ini file and open it in a text editor. Use the Find tool to search for "OpenGl" (that's a lowercase "L"). Modify the setting to 1, then save and close the user.ini file. Restart the client again, and let us know if that has any effect.

Sorry, we're not sure what is happening here. We have not received any similar reports recently. The next time this happens, please send your log files to Support so we can start looking into it.

Please go to Help > Log Files, add a description of the problem in the text filed and click Send Log Files.

Hi Keith,

With latest pokerstars update I noticed that the fold button is removed when player could check instead. However visually this is kind of misleading for the brain, so far we had two buttons shown only when facing an allin. Now we also have two buttons when the only options are check/bet so it takes a little more processing for the brain to realize which situation we are in. I think that adding back the fold button (or at least add a checkbox in settings to show it) would help players.

Yesterday I made the latest update for pokerstars.com

Still I have the problem of software crashes when playing SNGs.
OS = Windows 7 Ultimate
Pokertracker 4 HUD in use

How can I solve the problem by myself? Change OS or something else?
The problem starts more then 6 month ago and I don't expect any solution
from pokerstars since the using PS7.

Any recommendations? thanks!

Thanks for your comments. A number of players have made the same point and this has been relayed to the Poker Room managers.

Pokerstats Keith, thanks for your quick reply.
I would also like to vote for keeping the fold button and allowing all players this option, please.

In a real game of poker, any player can fold whenever they want to (usually when it is their turn to act).
If you take that option away, you are making the game on Pokerstars less like a real game.

There was already an alert dialog box in place, that prevented any accidental misclick (the "Are you sure you want to fold?" dialog box).So there really was no chance of anyone actually accidentally folding.

There are reasons why some people may want to open fold:
- to hide your card range and any action you played in a certain way, to maintain some mystery.
you don't want to risk exposing & giving away how you made an unusual play (your strategy), so you open fold.

- in multiway pots, you can fold and let the remaining players battle it out.
SNG/tourney example: 3-way, the final player may not want to bluff into 2 players.
We have played them long enough to see & know they don't bluff into multiple opponents.
We open fold, leaving them heads up, the aggressive final player now steals the pot with a bluff.

- for table image , or to show we have 'read' their hand.

(these are just a few examples, I could list more)
Removing the fold button, also make the game slower (e.g. suppose the hand is multiway 5/6 players, someone bets, now we have to wait for every single person to make a decision. If my hand misses the flop and is now junk, let me fold it.)

By removing the fold button, you have now changed how people will act in situations like all of the ones listed above.
You are effectively banning people from playing certain strategies.

There was always a certain % percentage chance someone might open fold. You have now changed the odds in the game, by removing it.
So, Im TOTALLY "+1"ing it all
