The Jan 13th date was correct. They just forgot to mention the year... Should be done by 1/13/2018

😂 This

I dont really play jackpots anymore, but what a disaster this is. I know the old jackpots worked perfectly fine i played a crapload of them. Does anyone know why the decided to do this? Like what is suppose to be better about the new system?

no clue, unfortunately

I would try the new format but not going to bother without at least HHs. With the reported glitches, I can just imagine the futility in chasing down refunds or whatever with no numbers.

Anytime I try to fire one up in it's current unstable state for the lolz it freezes the window about half of the time then the client crashes. This type of thing happens frequently with html type of implementation into software using flash/java.etc. so I can't imagine these jackpots will ever be good using that type of coding.

So the people get another month without hand histories and no rakeback I assume?

This network must really hate money to not roll it back while the programmer (singular, not plural) attempts to fix things but come February will likely say "I meant March 13th".

This has gone on for what three months now?

Embarrassing!

Betcoin has jackpots now and they're in the old format. Unfortunately, it appears they have *extremely* low traffic (segregated from ACR, et al). Also, they do not go towards SNC there.

They've been pretty silent about the whole thing. An update about what's going on would be nice.

I think the changing of format to this html inferior version was supposed to be in preparation for allowing shared pools between normal players and those on mobile when that launches, and I believe sng 2.0 is supposed to be done the same way. If it's taken this long and there are still no hand histories, bugs in which players aren't even dealt in, problems with the games launching at all, games not auto popping up after restarting the software, the king/jack face card swapping issue, not even being able to see opponents full names, player notes, points for first deposit bonus, etc., then it doesn't seem like they should have made this switch so soon. I do like the new seating method so you're not playing with the same guys on every table, and I like the idea if the maximizer, but not having a minimum buy in makes it useless at the moment. Who wants to play a $2, $10, and $40 jackpot at the same time?

Small request, will the window titles be fixed and can we get tablenumbers at least.
Helps me with analyzing my games.
Used to be:
$40 Jackpot Poker, Table 1 - No Limit - 10 / 20 Hold'em (1234567)
Now all tables look the same:
$40 Jackpot Holdem No Limit Hold'em - 10 / 20

Starting to think the wpn soft tech guy is in bed with the ceo`s ugly sister that nobody wanted

Cant see any other reasonable explanation why they have not fired the guy. A real ceo would hired outside pros to make the back end changes needed for consistently stable game play

A real ceo would pay to keep his ugly sister happy and fix the site

Then the QA guy must of married the ugly granddaughter.

Well it appears that rakeback points are working at least I been able to clear some of my bonus and rakeback has value now that was not there before for tourneys. Of course they waited until I only have 1 day left on my bonus before it expires.

I probably should complain and see if they will extend the expiration date on the bonus.

Yes. Yes you should.

Well did live chat and they said maybe some points missing. Then get a call and say no shows all the points. Though they said there was a blackout date range they could not see. Since I played over 1K of the 2.00 jackpots while the other ones were not working I said well look for over 1K of those and if they were credited to my account for bonus clear then all is good. He said he would keep looking into it.

I was not expecting that level of commitment to seeing if I had an issue. Really did not figure to have a phone call back. Expected just nothing to happen which will probably still be the case but they at least looked like they cared.

I think on twitch last yer CEO said they go outside.

For those who know about software development, theoretically, how difficult should it be for them to roll back to the old format?

Is it possible the old format as we knew it is gone forever if they didn't back it up correctly or whatever?

I mean, the old Jackpot format has to be one of the most valuable assets of any U.S. poker site right? How they can just voluntarily cripple that asset for months is beyond me. The must have their reasons and they have more incentive than anyone to get them working again asap, so I believe they are doing what they can to get this resolved. It's just amazing to me that they didn't roll back while they patched up the new version behind the scenes, it's been what, like 4 months now?

Some will likely say it would easy, but without knowing the details of their implementations it's impossible to say with any certainty. You point out seemingly compelling reasons why they would want to roll it back, so logic indicates that it might be very difficult. There could also be reasons for keeping the new format that are unrelated to the difficulty of rolling back. I agree it is certainly puzzling from an outside perspective.

[edit: I don't see how blindly insulting the CEO or programmers or anyone else can help the situation.]

I am guessing they do not compartmentalize the different pieces of the code for different sections so a roll back would not be easy to keep any of the other changes they made to the code besides jackpot poker and just roll that part back. If there is a valid reason/issue fix in the main code not to roll the whole thing back then I can see them not doing it.

Now that would not be optimal way to code but sometimes legacy code is done wrong and you are just forced to keep up the bad habits instead of starting all over from scratch. Of course it could be who they outsource to is just out of college and they have no real world experience. Cost cutting is not always good for the customer in that case.

Issue I have noticed and work around that seems to help not to get it. Course could be hurting my ROI if nobody ever freezes out anymore but I am in QA so like to get work around out there.

While playing jackpots I get the client freezes/crashes. This only occurs when playing jackpots. The actions that cause the freeze is to use the button to register for a new game from the one you just busted or won. Then instead of waiting for the close button to show up you click the x to close the window instead. This fairly often like about 98% of the time causes my client to crash. If I close the finished game using the close button that eventually comes up no crash occurs. Using win7 for OS.

Issue maybe just closing window with the x in the corner and have nothing to do with doing the auto register but have not done that enough to be sure.

Hope this helps others out if they are experiencing the same issue as me if not wasted forum space I guess.

garbage

Word on the street is ACR will be adding a $1 million dollar prize to jackpots which means 2x pulls all day long.

I decided to take a "gamble" and play a $2 jackpot. The 6x multiplier hits for $12 and the client freezes up on me while I'm heads up. I come back and of course I'm almost blinded out.

I just HAD to waste money playing this garbage.

Outside of hand histories, which has at least been acknowledged, are their plans to fix the table priority bug? It is making play very difficult, and causing me to sit out when multi-tabling.

been experiencing another bug that is quite annoying. when your typing in a bet, your bet amount will reset back to a min-bet right when the time bank hits. very annoying to type out a bet and then min bet because the time bank started at the same type you clicked in the bet...

+1. I tried 3 tabling some jp's last week and ended up sitting out and blinding down in a couple of them without even noticing. Never was a problem before, but with the new format putting in volume is damn near impossible.

This reminded me of something. Sometimes, perhaps even every time, if you're typing in chat and hit enter to send the message if action is on you, or has become on you, you min 3b or min open. Pry happened like 6-7x to me (I like some chatter) and has gotten me in some annoying spots haha.
