Right on the card catcher interface there's a step by step video tutorial, and an online manual link. Here's the online manual guide:

Yeah, but again, it's likely a DPI issue on your laptop. The developers are putting in another approach for large resolution setups, and any non-default DPI settings. They are already testing it, so it should be in the next build.

But on your laptop, check your DPI. Make sure you have version .5 or .6.

I know that using the card catcher for zone would not would work for the HUD but I am wondering if it is able to collect hands so I can analyze my play in the database?

I am also wondering if I have hands saved on my computer from before having the card catcher is there any way to import those previously saved hands into poker tracker. I tried one way and it said unrecognized game type and it doesn't seem like it worked. Thank you.

My DPI is set to 100%. And my res is 1280x800 on my laptop. Can you tell me what standings I should set it to for standard settings? I don't think my settings are non-default? I can't view last hands either. I guess I would like to know if this is a separate issue because messing with those settings has done nothing to resolve my issue.

I have the ability to activate time bank or last hand for 1 table, and can do nothing for other tables.

I just had the same issue where TT stopped updating the HUD at one of my tables. The odd thing is this that i've been playing at this table for awhile with the same opponent. I have a screenshot of the card catcher detecting all of the tables and the table tamer only finding 1 of them (only actually playing at 2 of them)

oh also, i'm on 2.04.6

This is at HU cash

I played 1.5k hands of HU cash and won 4 buy ins yesterday and the catcher said I lost 7. I have the latest version.

Some days it works and others it doesn't.

It doesn't work for zone right now. We're going to look to add zone support at some point in the future. Right now the hand converter we have does work for zone if you just primarily play that.

I don't know what those hands you're referring to are from. That's really hard for me to guess w/o more info, but if it's saying it's not recognized, then my best guess it likely not.

I have a new 2.04.7 version going up. This is a completely re-worked time bank and last hand. It seems to be working very well for our testers so give this one a try. If there's any issue for any reason, I can have one of our advanced techs remote to you and check out your setup and see what we can do to help.

Thanks for letting me know. Anything like this happen, just send your bcc.log file and the hand history file to support. The developers can look at it to see what's going on. I think we need to do more table tamer testing too.

But I'll also have a version with some more advanced logging going up soon. That should help knock out some of these lingering issues more.

v2.04.7 Beta up for download:

http://acepokersolutions.com/poker-s...up_v2.04.7.exe

- Time bank and last hand button fixes

This is a completely re-worked approach to the time bank and last hand on table fixes. We've tested it w/ several people on lots of setups, DPI settings and resolutions. Not one issue. So if you do have any problem, please let me know asap.

Note: The auto time bank is still the same. Assuming this approach is good across the myriad of setups, we'll implement it for auto time bank too and we'll be golden.

Thanks for the continued updates! Much appreciated. Just out of curiosity, what were the technical reasons why the HUD breaks last hand/timebank buttons, and how did you work around it?

So for anyone running this with Parallels in Coherence mode, 2.04.7 is a nonstarter. Every time you open a new table, a new item called "Last Hand Overlay" appears in the Mac dock. Any Mac windows you have around the Bovada windows instantly have their focus stolen by the Bovada window.

Incidentally, my Last Hand button has been working just fine on 2.04.6, so I'm reverting back to that for now.

Interesting. Good to know. Are you running XP with parallels or is it a more recent OS? Maybe we add an option setting in the next release.

As far as the technical question, you'd have to ask the development team. I'm not a developer, so I don't think I could explain it very well. All I know is there's an invisible overlay from the HUD, and it's interfering with those sections of the table clicks. So they are running a window underneath that HUD overlay, but it's highly technical.

been running 2.04.7 today. thanks for the update and the continued development.

no MTT HUD freeze ups yet! fantastic! but I haven't gone very deep today tho, so haven't had a chance to test for the final table freeze up.

on table time bank button works! awesome!

i am NOT having any issues w/ 2.04.7 running w/ my Parallels 10 Windows 7 setup. but i am NOT using coherence mode

1 issue however, the auto time bank is being inconsistent. which can cause a lot of trouble when playing a lot of tables.

Yeah it's a Coherence only thing. The behavior can only occur while in Coherence mode since it involves having Mac windows in front of Bovada windows. Having the Mac window over the entire Parallels window probably won't be the same thing.

Cool, so not in coherence mode and then it should be fine.

Also, like I said in the release notes, the auto time bank can still be an issue on some systems and it's something we're addressing next build.

Can you not run it in coherence mode, or is there a reason you specifically do? I can probably have an option setting for this in the next build so you can use one setting for time bank or the other.

I purchased the card catcher hud but I noticed it isn't catching all of the hands. I've had 2 tables that it didn't pick up for some reason (well it did in the program but hands weren't importing into PT4). One had Omaha in the name so I'm wondering if that was part of the reason. The other I couldn't figure out.

What's the difference between the card catcher hud and hand history converter? Does this program just import live while the converter allows you to import after the fact? I was thinking of getting the converter to try to get all of the hands imported because there's quite a bit of difference in money in my account vs. how much PT4 says I've won but not sure if there's any benefit to having both.

I'm put up a version for you to try that should work in either mode. I don't have a way to test it, and I don't have many people who run in the setup you have. Maybe a couple at most. But if you want to try it it's here:

Strange. If you want to send your bcc.log file to support I can see if there's something in there. There's some newer table naming Bovada has done that might be causing an issue. I had one other person report it, and the developers are addressing it. I think there's a work around for it. It should rarely rarely happen. I mean I play on Bovada regularly and never have any of these issues. So I'd bet it would happen pretty rarely.

As far as the converter, it's more of a study aide than anything. You can grab the hands 24 hours after they've been played, see all your opponents hole cards and import zone. I recommend it to people who play a lot, because it's just helpful, even though you shouldn't results oriented, it just helps with putting things into perspective a lot more.

By client I assume you mean the catcher. Are you shutting down Bovada in between sessions? I'm going to be putting in some clients checks before load to make sure that the bovada client hasn't been lift running, because the catcher could crash, and at the very least it won't work.

By client I mean poker client. Every few times I load the catcher it crashes Bovada and I have to restart it. This never occurred until I downloaded the most recent version of the catcher.

Ok, and this is 4.7 I assume. Yeah, don't use that version then of course. You can try the 4.7a if you want. That version is a completely different timebank approach. I assume it's the new method causing an issue. Maybe a resource issue. Are you for sure shutting down the catcher in between sessions when you load Bovada?

On the first page of this thread you said there was a recommendation for a color coded HUD for Bovada, where is this?
