***OFFICIAL BlackChipPoker Thread*** (or see WPN sub-forum above) - Page 264 - Internet Poker

Most of the changes are to the actual pictures .png and the .jpeg files that the software uses as a resource for what you see. I was watching when the "update?" was downloading and only saw one executable file being downloaded, maybe a few dlls, but saw plenty on png and jpeg picture files being downloaded. I believe what he says that they are trying to fool the players into thinking that the software was improved it's true. You can look in the Blackchip folder in your computer and see that only a few files that actually run the code of the program, one .exe and maybe 3 DDL files have a July 2013 date as being modified. All the rest of the actual code files are old. If you look in the scene folder and other graphics folders, those are the files that all show being new.

That's one way of looking at it; but the fact of the matter is that the non-image exe/dll files that were changed compromise about 12MB of the client whereas the files that were untouched compromise less than 3MB. And it looks to me that the files that weren't changed largely have to do with things like the configuration or basic system-like files like msvcp80.dll or uninstall.exe that really shouldn't be touched.

Not that it matters, but you are saying that you can look at an .exe file and tell what language compiled it?

" It is the Microsoft C++ Runtime Library and is used by programs written with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005."

Why did they not used the newer version of the library which is msvcp90.dll? Hmmm?

Bovada folder shows msvcp90.dll, BCP shows msvcp80.dll

Bottom line, this was no upgrade.

Yeah, but the question here is whether they upgraded anything and they did not. msvcp80.dll is used by old compiler Visual Studio 2005.
msvcp90.dll is the equivalent used by newer compiler.

Bovada has only worked a lot of the bugs out of its crappy software, it hasn't impoved it. If Ford had wanted to stick with the Edsel, the Edsel would probably be running like a top by now; but it would still be an Edsel.

Not really, I am placing importance on the software temporarily freezing and when it comes back I am timed out. It happens about every 100 hands at BCP, before the "upgrade?" and after, and never once has it happened at Bovada. I am talking from my experience. I will not play BCP until they resolve the issues that they have as it pertains to me as the "upgraded" software remains unplayable. They can't even work the bugs out, much less improve it.

Crashing.

Perhaps if they would program for Win 7 or later, with backwards compatibility, instead of programming for 13 year old XP, some of the issues would not be occurring. They are stuck in the year 2000, and Windows Blue will be out soon. Ouch!

So long.

Is there any word when a mac/OSX client will be released?

If not for a long time, does anyone know if it runs OK in Wine? I can use Virtualbox, but it's always really damn slow.

I thought it was working ok under wine/ubuntu until I got moved to a new tournament table. Crashed...
But seems to work fine in a XP VM.

Did anyone else just lag out or have their games/client freeze? Was playing cash and all my games froze, but the rest of my internet was working fine. Came back, and had the "would you like to retry to connect" popup boxes for all my tables. Couldn't reconnect on most. Apparently ended up timing out with K9 on 996 in a 3bet 3way pot so that kinda sucked.

Is it true that you have to give your social security number to get the debit card for withdrawals?

Every debit card issuer requires a ss#.

Putting this as nicely as I can so that I'm not accused of being unconstructive: I'm reading a bunch of totally unacceptable issues happening at BCP. What you guy need to do is what I did, that is, leave posts on here informing BCP and it's rep that you will not be playing on their site until they get a freakin' clue and actually upgrade and fix this godawful software.

Stop supporting terrible businesses like this poker site and let them know about it.
