Detailed Notes & Screenshots:
Find Tournament – ‘Enter’ to submit
In the Tools – Find A Tournament function, you no longer have to click the Submit button to initiate the search action. You can now hit the <Enter> key instead.
=============
Custom Themes
Some players who use custom table themes reported that their custom themes were being removed on client restart, and they would have to re-establish them manually each time. This issue has been resolved, so custom themes should be preserved after restarting the client.
==============
Scroll-Wheel Adjusting the Bet
Some players reported that the mouse scroll-wheel was not adjusting the bet amount when it was their turn to act, unless the cursor was directly over the bet box. As long as the table is in focus, the mouse wheel should adjust the bet no matter where on the screen the cursor is position. This has been corrected.
=============
Using Cntl+S should not bring up lobby
The hotkey ‘Cntl+S’ is a shortcut for ‘Seat me at a similar table’. When playing Sit & Go games, it will allow you to register for another SNG, and the confirmation message should appear over the table, not the lobby. Instead, the action was bringing up the games lobby with the confirmation message in front of it, like this:
This has been corrected.
=============
FPP Buy-In Filters for PS6 Tabs
When the All Games lobby controls are set to the old PS6 style tabs, the FPP buy-in filters were not working correctly in all cases. This has been corrected.
=============
Hand History email language
A few players reported that the hand histories emailed to them were in their ‘Play In’ language rather than the language they selected in the Playing History settings here:
This has been corrected.
=============
Customer Support Chat Window
A couple of players on the .IT license reported that the window used to conduct a chat session with our Support team was not closing and would remain open on the desktop. This has been corrected.
=============
Phantom Challenges in UK Client
Several UK players reported that they were still seeing Challenge nudges in the lobby even though there were no challenges currently available for them:
This was similar to an earlier phantom challenge bug that we had resolved for .COM and other sites several builds back, but a slightly different cause. It has been resolved for UK now, too.
=============
Tournament Name Displayed in T-Lobby
Tournaments with longer names would sometimes not display the full name in the Tournament lobby even though there was enough space in the header:
This has been corrected.
=============
Stack Icon in Draw Games
A player on the IT license reported that the stack icon in some Draw games on was shown in front of the cards, obscuring the card ranks. This has been corrected.
=============
Mac: Network Status Panel
A few players reported that the Network Status panel had no data in the Connection and Lost columns. This has been corrected.
=============
Home Games – Desktop Only
Our ‘Home Games’ feature has always been officially supported in our desktop software only, it was never designed to run on mobile devices. However, some players realized that if they set up and registered for the club games on their desktop, then if they were logged into their mobile device when the tournament started, they would be able to sit and play.
Unfortunately, in some cases this caused the mobile app to crash. Because the work to fully support Home Games on mobile is so significant, the team decided to prevent club games from being played on mobile, thus preventing the app crashes. This means that, going forward, all club games have to be played on desktop / laptop machines. We are sorry for the inconvenience to our club players.
