I am using two databases for my HUD. In the pop up menu I use, it shows all the hands, but in the actual layout on table it only shows player stats from my secondary database. How do I fix this?

This issue will be fixed in the next beta release due in the next couple of days.
Development Timeline

Link says the following:

Next Beta Expected: on or before July 20, 2008

Has this now been delayed?

It hasn't been delayed and we're hoping to have it out tonight. Remember that our development is located in the U.S., GMT -4 though.

pretty disappointing to see fixing the super slow import speeds is NOT a priority at all...

why is that?

How slow are your imports? The development timeline does not list bugs that need fixed.

Pt3 is really fast when imports hands. (the fastest poketracking software nowadays w import).

That seems more likely to be a problems with your pc. Ask for support help.

Because change tracking software need import hands :S. Pt2 ---> Pt3 needs import.

When I tried Pt3 ---> HM needed import hands too but I didnt have lucky with speed import and i dont have patience to wait 4 or 5 days.

When you purchase or share datamined hands you need good speed import too.

well. Speed import is important :P.

So I've basically been avoiding playing 6-max entirely because configuring the HUD in PT3 seems like a huge pain in the ass. I took the time to do it today, but I'm still a pretty far way off from where I want it.

Here's my awesome layout in PAHUD:


I'd like it if I could make my PT3 layout look exactly like that. Right now it looks like this:


Also it took about 3 minutes for the stats to load. What do I need to do?

Have you tried Poker Observer HUD? It could replicate that layout.

First of all, you'd like to use 3 groups of stats for this. One for the VPIP group, one for the CB group and one for the AF group.

Open the HUD configuration and go the the "Group" tab. Make sure that you add groups so you have enough to be able to create a setup like the one I just mentioned. Now edit each group by having it selected and going to the "stats" tab and add the stats you want in the different groups.

To create the lists of stats like you had in PA Hud, you would want to go to the "Special" tab under the "Stats" tab and add a "New line" after each stat.

About your issues with the HUD being slow, I don't know which version you're using but Beta 14 has been good for most of our users and Beta 15 is set for release later tonight and has been showing up some great performance improvements in the alpha testing.

Playing on FullTilt for the first time with PokerTracker 3. Is it a known issue that it's very laggy playing 9 tables with the HUD on?

i'll get 11 hands/sec. 20 if I'm super lucky....
I've discussed this with Kraada a few times, and given him hh's and he gets slow speeds also with my hhs...

I've asked support more than once, and it doesn't matter...
I'm just told it's a known bug with large hh files, and will be fixed...

so that's frustrating as well

well in my experience i had problems with big ipoker hands sometimes.

Try to reboot first when going to import and have a sata hdd.

Try HM and see how it does with speed import.

Try the latest beta version. It includes a lot of Hud performance improvements.


If you have submitted a support ticket, I will get to it. Please understand that we need to prioritize what we work on. Problems causing people to not be able to use the software will get more attention than problems that are inconvenient, but aren't preventing the use of the software.

Beta 15 Released

Added:

• Import of observed PokerStars hands (max 30 per table), Hud on observed PokerStars tables
• Site Pref: PokerStars preferred seating settings (for those it doesn't automatically detect)

• Cluster has been changed to improve performance of most reports and Hud stat retrieval

Fixed:

• Hud: More performance improvements

• Import: WTSD not being recognized for some hands
• Import: SB completing is now considered a limp
• Import: Fixed "has position" database field when an invalid button is specified by the hand history
• Replayer: Bug with pot odds when facing raises

A lot more Hud performance improvements have been added to this version. There have been minor changes to the database, so PT3 will go through your databases at startup and update them. This may take a while, depending on how many databases you have and how large they are. Afterwards, PLEASE do a cluster, vacuum and then analyze. You should see a dramatic improvement in report speed and Hud stat retrieval. Warning though, the cluster will take a while if you have large databases. Also added is the "Best Hud Performance" option, available both in the Settings and in the Hud Options. What this does is reduces the resource usage of the Hud at the expense of some features. For those of you playing a large number of tables, you should notice a significant improvement using this option. Combined with the new cluster, this feature should allow for just about everyone to play a large number of tables without problem. If you continue to experience performance problem after running the cluster and using the Best Hud Performance option, please open a new support ticket (or respond to your existing ticket) and provide the following information:

1. What site you are playing on
2. What kind of table you are playing on (cash or tournament, 6 max or full ring)
3. How many tables you are playing on
4. Whether renaming your Layouts.pt3 file to Layouts.backup and restarting PT3 helps the problem any
5. How many databases you are using and how many hands are in each database
6. If you play multiple sites, is the problem isolated to one of them, or does it occur on all
7. Reproduce the problem, then attach the PokerTracker.log, PokerTrackerHud.log and the Layouts.pt3 file to the ticket

Doing all of that will be a tremendous help in assisting us to figure out your problem.

Also added in this version is the ability to import a limited number of PokerStars hand histories for the purpose of table selection. This means for each PokerStars table you open, PT3 will import the first 30 hands at that table and will be able to show you stats for players before you sit down. For those of you who were having problems with PT3 not automatically recognizing your preferred seating settings, you can now adjust these manually in the PokerStars Configuration tab on the Auto Import window. You can do the same for Full Tilt's auto-center option. By popular request, table averages are no longer weighted. I may make this an option, but I believe most people would rather see the simple average instead of a weighted one. The problem with multiple databases causing different results in the popups and table stats has been resolved. Several import bugs were fixed too, including the annoying Party import bug with invalid pot size/winnings due to the preflop action being reversed. PT3 now attempts to correct this and can now import most of these hands.

I'm really hoping this version solves most of the remaining Hud issues. We still have some performance improvements planned, but hopefully this version is for the most part usable (perhaps not optimal) for the 20+ tablers. Enough so that we can put the Hud on the backburner for a short while so we can add some other features to the application. Please, if you were having Hud issues in the past and this version fixes it, let us know! If your problems still aren't fixed, please follow the directions given above.

Which features are these?

Wow, populating goes awesome fast.

GJ imo.

Hey i was hoping this. Downliading.

OT: What means vacuum a database?.

The first part of this page is quite good:

No ongame?? ah well....

Holy **** Jehaim you weren't kidding. 246k graph took something around 5 seconds. It used to take 10-15.

I dont understand why PT3 wasn't released without ALL PT2 features..a whole lot of other features were added before building the foundation.. Autorate rules still not available.. purging hands?.. still a huge amount of errors when importing party hands.. all you have to do it datamine party for 10mins and try importing these hands, they import fine in PT2 but have heaps of errors in PT3.. Not even any incentives to submit error logs..

Import complete. 19,102 hands in 49 files were imported. (124 errors, 0 duplicates)

x2

still experiencing performance issues + crashes

10th logfiles im sending on the way..
