Why are there always 10-15 background processes running on Ignition (shows when checking task manager)? It's maxing out my cpu while just four tabling and causes the site to freeze usually less than 10 minutes into a session. Bring back the old bodog software from 10 years ago, it ran much better! In fact I've never had a problem with any poker site software, even bovada/ignition until this update in the last month or so. This really is unplayable for me.

good god this software is still so utterly broken. Almost unplayable. Pretty sure I could enroll in some community college programming courses and build a better client over a summer. I cant imagine recfish putting up with "not responding" force closure issues every few minutes. 3 crashes in 30 minutes I'm done.

FWIW, like said a few times already in this thread, Holdem Indicator was the cause behind Ignition freezing up every 10 minutes.

Been running "smooth" ever since i axed Holdem Indicator.

I also have 10-15 background processes related to Ignition. My CPU has been less than 5% while 4 tabling ever since i got rid of Holdem Indicator. Not sure if that's your problem as well.....

Uninstall completely, delete folder, re-install into newly named folder. Some have said this fixes some issues.

Has it been explained why ignition has so many processes running like everyone else is describing because with or without holdem indicator theirs still a ton of those processes running has anyone asked ignition about it?

I played another 5 hours of 6max cash today with just one brief disconnect. Cardcatcher with PT4 is working well.

So the issue w/ all of the processes running is because this is how Ignition/Bodog is now developed. I've tried to explain this in here before. But it's now java, embedded in chrome. So all of your windows and functions it needs to do, it opens a new process (just like chrome). If you open chrome and browse some sites, open task manager and you'll see 15+ processes running (depending on how many windows and plugins you have). Previous to their update, it was just one process (like most desktop apps).

So this is also why it was a highly complex fix. One part of the data for one table would be in process #5, while another part of the data for the same table would be in process #18, and so on. So it was like putting a puzzle back together. On top of that, it's resource intensive, and writing a lot of data to system cache. If you aren't ubber careful on where you're injecting and grabbing this data... crasho.

That's why the first version of card catcher we were seeing crashes as well. We fixed that several weeks back.

Any ways, fyi, for anyone using the catcher there's a major update today and it's posted in the commercial software forum. I'd recommend just shutting everything down before you install and update. One of the reasons some people were still seeing issues is because the DLL for the catcher was still active and locked when they had Ignition open, and they would update the software, but the catcher part wasn't actually updated. This was addressed and fixed as well.

Now lets all cross fingers for no more updates... please! Or at least minor updates that don't change everything completely again.

Been running smooth all day for me. had lots of probs yesterday tho.

How long should it take to log in? So far I just have the sign in button flashing at me for about a minute?

common bug. close and restart if it never finishes loading

been running smooth for me lately, aside from the bug where I have to keep opening the client for it to connect to the server

Any recommendations for just getting the poker client to run smoothly lol?

fix ur computer up, reinstall windows. me and my mate never had any crashing problems with client.

So they did another update, but didn't fix the the freaking table resizing issue, sigh.

Thats the first thing I checked for when I logged in to see if they had fixed that. How pathetic they can't fix a simple issue like that.

So, I ran Ignition on two of my computers, one with a core 2 duo 2.53 processor, and the other an i5 3.5 processor.

On the core 2 duo, which is the computer I use primarily for poker, the CPU usage spikes to the high 90% range at times and ultimately the program ends up crashing at some point. This is without HI and no other programs running.

On the i5 the cpu usage is usually only spiking to the 60-70% range. I haven't played long enough on it to determine if Ignition crashes but it seems better so far.

Lobby text is bigger in the new update but as already mentioned still no table sizing fix.

Im excited that I was able to open up the client and it seems to work now! Throughout the summer it wouldnt even do that.

Has people have any issues with deposits and withdrawals? Ive played a little bit on BetOnline, but have since found a lot of people having issues with withdrawals so I think I might want to avoid putting more money on that site. Hopefully Ignition is good!

Client wont open for me. Fml

Ive never experienced problems with deposit/withdrawing on Ignition. Check the ignition cashout thread for more feedback, but I think you're safe with Ignition.

Working now, thankfully works open

Client is not working for me either.

I received a call at home this morning. Guy said he's from Bovada and asked me if I wanted to make a deposit to take advantage of a casino/NFL bonus. I said not right now and hung up. Anyone else got a call from Bovada?

I am trying to deposit. It says the credit/debit card transactions are free, so I tried to make a deposit for $100 using a MasterCard with the Welcome Bonus. My transaction was declined because of fraud activity (which wasnt unexpected)... but when I verified the transactions, my bank said the transactions were for $106.xx. Has anybody else had this happen?

I believe Ignition is going to charge you a fee w/ credit card deposits. You may even get hit by their payment processors too(some info in the cashout thread regarding that I believe, that you should look into if you want to go with CC).

The best way to deposit/withdraw now is Bitcoin. Fast deposits with very low fees, and withdrawals within hours again with very low fees.
