In case anyone was wondering, Im the guy in $50 dons who always screamed "LUBE UP!" Before an all in

always hilarious to see a player bitching about someone who's at another table

also funny that they gave us the ability to mute players while simultaneously taking away the ability to say anything you'd want to mute

Yep now that the chat is gone I'm cashing out. Being anon is lonely, sketch enough.. **** that. I'm moving to wpn, chico, and global

HE SAYS NICE HAND TOO MUCH! MUTED!!!!

So much this. No more being able to prod the semi-tilted into full on, light your stack on fire mode with stuff like "I feel sorry for people related to you" or "How does one who plays as poorly as you even come into money to deposit on this site." Sigh.

its bad enough players are anonymous . now no chat. bovada poker is now robotic, not as fun as back in the day

Has anyone emailed or called them?

Right - and in doing so you identify yourself, and they then activate the doomswitch.

I had to call them this time. Not to complain about the chat but to get myself back up and running. With Windows, I had a problem after this most recent patch that took several calls to customer service and several hours of troubleshooting to resolve.

There's a glitch in the most recent patch where some users will, after trying to update to the new version, continue to have their software try and open up the lobby with the old software. It creates a conflict and although Ignition.exe can be seen running in Task Manager, there's absolutely nothing you can do with it.

You have to go into your computer and manually delete the Ignition file after you formally uninstall Ignition. THEN you can reinstall the software and the old data will be completely gone and the new data will be able to run freely.

Just thought I'd post this here to save someone else the time/trouble to go through this and eventually figure it out.

As for the chat being removed: I've been on this network since it switched to Ignition and although I can live with this change, I don't see the point. As someone else pointed out: They had/have much bigger fish to fry than spending time on things like this. It's almost a slap in the face to us when they spend time issuing a patch for something so meaningless and unimportant when there's a dozen other critical issues that could be addressed.

It's quite likely that WPN and BetOnline may catch up to Ignition at some point. They just continue to grow and improve while Ignition continues to have chronic issues. Further, we are extremely feature light on Ignition and it really feels like we're playing on an outdated network at this point.

I don't think it's a secret that we're all playing here for one reason: It's soft as soft gets. As more users leave Ignition and join the other sites, those sites will naturally become softer, as well. So, in the end, Ignition just gets pushed to the wayside.

have fun playing with the bots.

There's plenty of bots on this network too. They're just not as noticeable because of the anonymous structure, table limts, and the amount of recreational players. Location restrictions and software issues are also key factors. I still think many would be surprised at the actual amount if we lifted the anonymous veil.

i have on several occasions registered for a sng where the table opens, loads to 97% and stops. I can close the table, and use the 'take my seat' button in the sng lobby to relaunch the table and yet it still just loads to 97%. with the lobby still open i can see the game running, as i get blinded off. But i'm unable to get the table to load to 100%.

Does this happen to anyone else? Does anyone have a suggestion of what to do?

I have closed the Ignition client hoping that when i sign back in, the table will launch as I'm in an active game, however the table doesn't open and the client lobby doesn't show active games. I am unable to participate in the sng I have registered for and paid for.

Does anyone have an explanation for why this happens and what to do?

i know when it has happened that my connection to the internet has not been interupted, however Ignition Customer Services tells me that the tournament logs "show that you were disconnected from our servers; however, we can assure you that this wasn’t a connection issue on our side as the other seated player was able to continue on with the game." they go on to say "Disconnections are unavoidable. When you connect to the internet, you may experience lags or loss of your connection that usually happen very quickly. This short period is enough to affect how you're connected to our games and cause errors while playing."

they don't recommend a way that i can recover from 'an unavoidable short term server interruption' to get the table open. it seems ridiculous not to have a way to recover from an 'unavoidable interruption'.
its ludicrous to think that anyone would continue to register to play if the possibility (likelihood?) that an unavoidable occurrence might occur that has you forfeiting the sng.

Suggestion anyone??


FWIW i'm playing Ignition on an ethernet cable connected Windows computer with FIOS.

If there are bots on bovada they’re ****ing terrible. Still the softest site out there by far (except maybe global which I haven’t played on so can’t say)

Haven't played here or read this thread for 3-4 months, still a dumpster fire?

Yeah I think chat should probably be brought back. Keep the emoji's, they are fine. Yeah there is some amount of racism bs etc, but there are plenty of substantial things said in the chat that shouldn't be banned. I always would chat with rec players just to make the experience more fun for them, it actually made it more fun for me too. Poker is a social game and the site should be making the experience more enjoyable for the average player, not less.

I'm not going to claim that every bot is crushing the games, but for your statement to be true either everyone on the network is terrible in your eyes or you've chatted with every single player that you deem as solid. I agree though that they are not a big issue for the reasons I stated above.

If you and all the other 2+2ers wanna go play with the nits on acr because they took away your ability to chat with anonymous players go ahead, more fish $ for me

Any ignition fish would probably quit poker if they had to play on WPN. Ignition is designed for fish with the anonymous tables and 4 table maximum. They like it here and don’t give a **** about the issues all the regs complain about.

I was talking about bots but...I already don't play on here much. I just haven't enjoyed the changes they've made since 2016. While I think the chat change is dumb, I'm not a big chat guy while playing anyway. It's really not a big deterrent in my personal decision on whether or not to play here. There is a limited amount of tells you can get when playing online and the chat feature allows for some of them. That is why I don't like the change.

I've found that waiting for the tables to fully load and begin before resizing/touching them prevents the "stuck on 97%" bug when playing zone on my laptop.

On an iPad, zone loads 100% , table does not open even after waiting ten minutes as I see it working. Cash table loads to 97%. On my laptop, same connection, logs in and plays fine. This all within the last 24 hours. Emailed support with not even getting an auto response. I don't expect any response at all. As with most of their problems they tend to be fixed by surprise one day. Here's a thought, ignition could put a system status on their homepage.

I was having the same problems and emailed them. I did get refunded my entry fees for when my table crashed and then was no longer available to rejoin or be found in the lobby. However they did say that there was no way the problem was on their end. Doesn't make up for the 25 other times the half loads and crashes have cost me this week but it did make me feel a little better. Also got a nice non-canned response. Whoever handled my email should be promoted to CS Manager. I have not tried to play again since I sent the email though. And from all of you still having same problems I might just wait a bit longer. I agree a system status would be fantastic but then they couldn't say it isn't on their end.

Those changes are so minimal when you look at the bigger picture. It is the only good poker site US players have left in my opinion. It’s not an open market, sometimes you just gotta be happy for what you have.
