Server restart. Supposed to be down for 3 hours from 6:00 ET (this post is about 8:00 ET) but these things almost always take longer than they say.

Can't login with macOs since Wednesday evening when an update came out. Removal with App cleaner and re-install did not help. Client fails to initialize. Support doesn't have a solution

I'm having the same problem. It was working fine just two days ago, now it just says "Client program has failed to initialize" every time I try to open the software. I've re-installed it and restarted my computer a few times, but that hasn't done anything.

I'm still waiting for PokerStars support to get back to me.

It says exactly the same for me. I used the app cleaner, removed all filed, re-installed several times but nothing changed. I think it has something to do with the newest update. Which macOs are you using? I have the suspicion that the update is not compatible with 10.12.6 or lower.

They stopped replying me as I assume that they are simply clueless. Maybe you've received some feedback in the meanwhile.

I have 10.11 El Capitan. It says on the PokerStars website that it is compatible with 10.10 or higher.

They asked me to send the log files, but that was two days ago and I haven't heard anything since.

I have a work-around that works for me actually. I've restored a version from March with time machine back ups. This version works fine for me now.

They are working on the issue, as they have received multiple complaints on this.

They sent me a message this morning that they had released a new update that should fix the problem and I should re-install the software.

I did that, but now it just stays on the opening screen indefinitely. It doesn't even say "contacting site" like it usually does. It's even more broken now than it was before.

Maintenance. You should join the email list where they announce these one day ahead so they don't come as a surprise.

Unable to register to an MTT that was supposed to start 20 minutes ago...got a message about many registrations ahead of me and to wait.

Edit: Tournament canceled.

I'm guessing the latest update didn't go well.

We have been playing hand per hand in a field of 5k runners since the start haha. This 11$ 75k is a treat.

The ''Midweek Freeze'' freezes all right.

All the sit and go satellites for the Sunday Storm are gone. Is this deliberate, or did somebody simply forgot to turn them on after the events that took place in the last two Sundays?

It is second day in a row I have some lags and network connection problem every couple minutes, that can often result in sit out. Does anybody have similar problem? Internet connection very good, other sites, www works very good. Tried switching off HM3, other apps, nothing helped so far

I had like 10 emails with support trying many reasonable and unreasonable fixes. Eventually it kinda got better and now its playable - just aurora not working smoothly. But luckily no more lags/disconnections. To be honest as an ex-IT specialist, I think it was/is either on their side or I had some files corrupted. So I suggest to to do full reinstall of the client. Especially if you tried to avoid aurora with some PokerLegacy tricks.
