I can only speak from my experience and the system worked very well. It was much more intuitive for multi tabling imo, but this is speaking as someone who fiddles a lot with their "setup" to make things as efficient and mouse-free as possible, so I might not be a typical pokerstars customer

We do plan to add a hotkey that will allow you to cycle between the top 2 tables that require action the most. Would this address the problem?

So we will have Next/Prev as now and we will have a Hotkey that brings most urgent table to front and if pressed again will bring second most-urgent table. If pressed third time the player will be back at the most urgent table to act. This way you can "peek" into the second most urgent table if you want to and you still have a single key to get to the most urgent table.

I would be happy with the previous behaviour but this would definitely fix my main gripe

Re: Nova time to act display: This will get halved with one of the next builds (currently 4 seconds).

great

Agreed. I was expecting it to work that way and was surprised to find it didn't.

I still have tables popping up and stealing focus from notes even though I have "steal focus from notes" disabled in the settings.

I also had tables close without warning when the big blind hit me after checking "sit out next big blind" even though this is disabled in the settings.

Re: applying felt changes to all tables: The main reasoning to have it apply to all vs apply to current table only is that a lot of casual players who might engage with this feature would actually mean "Apply to all" and will find it frustrating to have to change the felt every time they open a table to the one they desire. This is why we need to split this with an option and we prioritized "Apply to all", but "Apply to this table only" is planned to come with next client update as an additional option.

[Pascal-lF]

why would anyone want to randomly change backgrounds on all their tables a few times a day rather than highlight specific tournaments? honestly confused :P

[HredunoS]

Plz add option to hide hole cards on current table after checked "quick fold".

Dear Pokerstars Stefan,

Could you please do something about the corrupt user files?
In hindsight it turns out all the problems I had the past 4+ years were caused by this.
I still haven't been able to play real poker in all this time!!

After I found out about the corrupt files by accident PS told me they were aware of the problem but I should fix it myself, which clearly is literally impossible.

It is not fair thousands of people that have this problem are severely handicapped on PS.
IMO PS should be open about this and if you can't fix it offer us new playable accounts.

Your user ini file is corrupt.
This is because you blocked an x amount of player images which PS software can't handle.
You will need to rename or delete the user ini file and then unblock every image you ever blocked.
Good luck with that.

Can you still bet any amount you want or do you constantly have to fight the slider?

do you mean Doomswitched?

A really annoying issue with Zoom, every time you try and add another table an warning message comes up saying you are already playing at that table, and it asks if you want to open more.

Can you include a check box to not show that message again?
Obviously I'm aware I'm trying to add more tables, that is why I clicked 'Join Game' after all.

Also are there plans to add filters to Zoom so we can choose to display only 6max or FR, as well as hide the limits we aren't interested in playing?

Hey. Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not sure that's it.
I haven't blocked a single player image. Bet slider works just fine as well.

I guess, I'll give deleting the user.ini a try and setup from scratch.

Zoom improvement needed --> Start running the pools when 2 players sit. It's very very hard to create a pool at nl200 FR because most players get's bored of waiting while the pool reaches 9 players.

Pokerstars mobile: It would be great if we could import the color tags from the computer client.
