Hi Juk,
I just played a session with FPHG v3.03. I only changed the 6max tag in the .ini, I left everything else as it was. I had no problems what so ever. Played for a little over an hour with four tables and didn't notice any lag even though I played with HM running. Good work!

Peter

Cool, so it looks like this has fixed the old crash bug for you too then?

Not 100% sure if it will never cause HEM to lock up again as it might still occasionally output a corrupted HH, but it should happen less hopefully.

Juk

Yes it looks like it. Just played a 1.5 hour 6 table session and had no problems. What a relieve to be able to use the betpot button again. Many thanks.
Peter

I've now updated the main FPHG page (see here) to link to the new v3.03 installer.

Juk

Where's the donation button?

Hey jukofyork,
fphg 3.03 does not work for me any more with the latest Party update. No HHF files are being created at all, both in active and passive mode. I have been using fphg 2.x and it was working fine before the 08/11 Party update.

It's OK, FPHG has always been 100% free - just sorry it took a long time to get round to fixing it.

I don't think they changed anything in the last update that should have broken it (nobody else has reported this). Here are a few things you could try:

• Try manually deleting the FPHG folder and contents and then reinstalling.
• Double check your setting in the INI for where the hands are getting saved to (it's been changed in V3).
• Make sure your firewall and/or anti-trojan software isn't blocking it from injecting a DLL or calling ReadProcessMemory().
• If using Vista make sure you are running it in "admin" mode, etc.

Juk

Reinstalled, checked the ini file, don't run any firewall/anti virus software, running it in admin mode. Still the same problem.

I haven't updated FPHG in a while - I have v2.14 and that still works with the new Party software.

Thanks, v2.14 does work for me also.

Strange as nobody else seems to have got this. Is you OS running in English? If not, then try setting it to see if it makes any difference. Also try the old version and see if that is still working (not 100% clear if it's the update or the new FPHG that's the problem).

Juk

I have the same problem. 2.14 works fine, 3.03 doesn't. OS version is Vista Business x64 (German).

I don't know how to set it to English without reinstalling.

Does "active mode" also not work? If it doesn't then that at least narrows down the problem.

Have you tried changing the location of the saved hands folder (see the INI) to somewhere else to see if that makes any difference?

Is there anything noticeably different about the German hand histories (I'm guessing by the name that Faust is also German so this could be a possibility)? Could you post a few here for me to look at.

@Faust: Are you also using Vista and/or a 64bit OS?

Juk

Try replacing the EXE in the install folder with this one (ie: copy this over the top): http://www.jukofyork.com/FreePHG.exe

I just had a quick look at the code and there is one thing I've done to speed up a bit of code that could be a bit iffy in a 64bit OS (the EXE above doesn't do it). See if that makes any difference.

Juk

PS: Try that in "active mode" as the change doesn't effect "passive mode".

I never tried active mode before, but I just did it and it worked. (Edit: I'm referring to untouched v3.03 w/o fixed exe)

I also changed the HH location in passive mode.

I don't think that there are any differences, because my Party client is completely english so my HHs are also english (I doubt PT3 can import German HHs, that's why I have everything in english).

Here is an example HH, grabbed by v2.14:

It might well be something fairly simple to fix then: most of the code is in the FreePHG.exe process now and if active mode works it can't be a problem in their and also if v2.14 works then it can't be a very big problem in the injected DLL.

I'll wait for Faust to report back on if he is using a 64bit OS and see if I can have a look then (my brother uses Vista 64bit so I can prolly test it on his if it turns out to be related to 64bit stuff...).

Juk

Please upload somewhere installer for 2.14
I'm on Windows 7 and FreePHG doesn't work for me also

What happens if you run FPHG and/or Party in "Windows XP compatibility mode" (I don't have Vista but think this is an option in the right-click compatibility mode page)?

Juk

Tried to run both in Windows XP SP3 comp. mode and nothing happened. Still doesn't work.
mate, please upload v2.14

http://www.jukofyork.com/FreePHG_Install_214.exe

You might have to manually delete the 3.03 INI file before running this.

Juk

Sorry if this is an easy answer but I can't get right click to work on 3.03 or 2.14

I used to use freephg back in the day but it would crash every 30 minutes and now would love for it work again.

If someone could please help me. I have windows xp and betpot v 0.2w Party fix test 1. I also use the oldschool Party themed tables.

Probably best to also ask in the BetPot thread. If you just downloaded the bog standard script then you prolly need to make these changes to get it working again after the Party client update from last week. If it still doesn't work then you may also need to make this change as well.

Juk

I'm using Windows 7 Build 7100 x64. The OS is in german but the PartyPoker software is in english.

Sure you gave me the correct links? I didn't find the changes you were referring to.

Hello,
could anybody upload FPHG to any server, becouse the links to the site JUKOFYORK doesn't work . I will be very thankful if there is 2.14 and some of 3.0 versions...thanks.
