I'm using 0.07 for weeks without any problems.. I do have the CPU use increasing issue but I think that's the same with 0.06 and due to the party memory leak?

i get it all the time

I cant get past step 1. When I click on the link in your 1st post it just opens that 2+2 window again. plz help

found the link to the zip file 4get it

Yep, I think it's mostly the memory leak, but also it's likely the more hands you have observed, the more hands are in memory, so FPHG has to do more work to check if it has already processed them.

Juk

It seems like every one has solved this problem but me.

I cant get the observed hands to auto import.

I have done everything.

1.I moved the freephg to the empirepokermaster folder. not the HH folder where my HH's r kept

2. the black box that is freephg is fuctioning and reading the tables and posting observed hands in the freephg folder.

3. poker tracker is functioning, but only bringing in my hands. It is pointed to party and empire.

4. I do not have the box for not importing observed HHs checked

I dont know what else I can do. some one plz help

I have been using FPHG for 14 days and everything have worked fine, until yesterday where empire asked me to update their software. Now FPHG is not "seeing" the tables anymore.

Does anyone else have this problem, or do anyone know what I can do to solve the problem?

tot,
Are you using the lightning bolt icon to import the hands?

Juk,
The link to v0.06 seems to be down.

I've just updated to v0.06b (fix for Empire update). Make sure you are not using a cached page (hit Ctrl-F5 in IE on the page).

Juk

Fixed it yesterday, check http://www.jukofyork.com/freephg.htm

Juk

It is working again, Thank you very much

And thanks for a great program, you are doing a great job

no I am using the round thing that looks like the party symbol. The lighting bolt doesnt auto import and that what it seems like others have been able to accomplish

Would datamining and importing 12 tables all night be harmful to my computer?

Juk just upgraded (0.06b) from your site. When running header says 0.06a. I assume this is just an oversight?

Yep, I just forgot to increment the value

The only difference between v0.06a and v0.06b is fix for the Empire upgrade.

Computer newb here....I edited the batch file as you said here, but I can't get the program to run by trying to open via the batch file...I double click on it, and for a fraction of a second it looks like it's opening (I see a quick flash of black, like how FPHG looks), then it dissappears. Any help?

@echo off
freephg.exe -6max
pause 0

This should make it stop for long enough to read what it is saying (perhaps you don't have the CLI stuff installed and need to edit a shortcut to add the options?).

Juk

Thanks, that worked for getting it to load up, but now it's tell me the following, "'FreePHG.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external comman, operable program or batch file. Press any key to continue . . .

When I press "any key to continue" it shuts down.

Sorry for the newb questions, I know I'm almost there to get this working correctly, hehe.

It might also be that you haven't got the CLI stuff installed for XP/Win2K, so you could try this instead:

1. Create a shortcut to freephg.exe
2. Edit the properties of the shortcut.
3. In the box which says "Target" add the option you want (just as you would in run.bat).
4. Run FPHG by using this shortcut.

Juk

That worked perfectly!!! You're awesome, thanks!!!

hey Jukofyork,

Awesome program!!

When I (run) run.bat it says "Another program is currently using this file." I have tried rebooting and running it before any other FreePHG related files and I still get the message...

The only problem caused by this is that I have to manually renamed the file extentions before extracting the hands from them, so it's not a big deal.

Thanks

Sorry, can you explain a bit better what the problem is. Are the .hhf file themselves locked or is it run.bat itself?

If the problem is with run.bat, then just use the shortcut method (see my last post in this thread for instructions).

Juk

Juk,

Thanks again for a wonder program, and all your efforts.

Got a quick trivia question: I'm using AHK to launch all my poker programs with one hot key.

The issue I have is that when I launch it via a hot key, I get a CMD.exe process, as well as the FreePHG.exe, and neither have a low process priority.

My batch fild consists of
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
FreePHG.exe -p -2 -o -6max
</pre><hr />

I wasn't able to lauch that bat file directly with ahk (via
run, FreePHG.exe -p -2 -o -6max) for some reason.

So I had to create a shortcut to the batch file, then use ahk to call that:

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
run, C:\Program Files\Poker\PartyPokerHH\FreePHG.lnk,,min
</pre><hr />

This successfully launches FreePHG, but it's not low priority, and there is additionally a CMD.exe process that is also launched....

Any suggestions?

thx!

When you run FPHG using "-p -2" it won't actually show up as low priority in the task-manager anyway!

The reason is that I just spawned a new worker thread and set the thread priority to "low" (ie: "-p -2"). The FPHG main thread does nothing but spawn the worker thread, then waits forever.

To make 100% sure it's low priory, try running something else and you should see FPHG's CPU use drop to almost 0%.

As for starting run.bat from inside of AHK, I'm not so sure about that. I do intend to add a GUI soon(ish) to FPHG to make it easier, but just haven't had time recently, so using AHK to fire it up seems a good idea. Is it not possible to call a program from AHK with C/L args passed to it, rather than using my batch file?

Juk

I'm having the exact same problem winchips was. When I run PT it's saying over and over but no hands being imported:

I'm running the FPHG file directly from within C:\Program Files\EmpirePokerMaster where EmpirePokerMaster.exe resides. It's creating the .hhf files there, but PT isn't importing the hands.

Ideas?
