Hi, are you going to set aurora on pokerstars? Because it disappeared from there. And if I can't play in the old mode, I have incredibly lags. Someone can't help me set up a poker star to get me normal. My computer is a macbook for 256GB

It's a total disaster in terms of performance. I have a GTX 1080Ti, 9700k processor and the client is telling me it's having performance issues and to lower animation quality. WTF? I can play any game in ultra settings at steady 144 FPS but somehow a poker client is too GPU intensive?

Before the last update that made Aurora mandatory I was able to play in 15+ tables with 40% CPU usage (core i5-7600@4.1ghz). Now my cpu usage gets to 100% after opening only 5 tables and everything starts to lag.

I currently have 22 tables open without Aurora but with a 9900k and I don't get more than 10% CPU usage.

This update tilts me too. Why would they ruin something that's perfect?
PS was always the site where it's the most fun to play for me.

Aurora is mandatory now? I haven't played there in a while but even on a solid PC couldn't run more than few tables without lag. Without the engine I could load as many as I wanted no problem.

LAGGGGG

You changed your software to PartyPoker's garbage one.

Why would you ever take off the option to use the older version? That's my question. Please put it back..

This happens every time when poker site updates their software, they think it's an upgrade, but you end up with a pile of ******. Who is testing these things before "updating"?

I haven't played with aurora yet and I don't plan on doing it as long as they let me.

On the PS improvement thread I ve posted about a bug I encounter when I can't open menu items. Check to see if you got a similar problem and see if my solution helps.

I accidentally deleted the whole ImgCache folder not just the files, would that stop it from working as every time I open up the client it is the crappy new software?
