Computer manufacturers have a lot of junk loaded on PC's these days when you go to buy them. Extra programs made by software companies that pay the computer manufacturers money to load those programs onto their systems. So, everyone has extra useless software operating in the background constantly. These programs automatically make updates and this tampers with other programs.
In order to stop this you have to spend time to shut down these bloatware programs manually. Bloatware just started becoming popular in the computer industry about 5-6 years ago. Which, is about the time we all started experiencing disconnects on poker sites.
I spent a few hours shutting down bloatware programs on my 2 year old laptop and it functioned better on WPN and Bovada than it did out of the box. I've since started purchasing computers made by smaller companies that specifically refrain from loading such extra worthless programs onto their systems. Companies like Cybertron PC, etc. All of the big computer manufactures have crap loaded onto their system that you don't need. Even Windows has programs operating constantly that need to be shut down.
Just fyi.
The first thing you should do when you buy a new computer is remove any programs that you don't want and change the start up programs that load.
I have problems with WPN from time to time, but any time I do many others also do and tend to post on here. I guess with the lack of a forum maybe that is less likely to happen?
I've never seen multiple people get sat out and there not be something on 2+2 about disconnects. I also have got disconnected from WPN less in the last 6 months than I ever have. The only issue I have now is when the entire client spazzes after I click something, seems unlikely that happened to all 3 and then they come back at the exact same time.
May or may not be sketchy, but seems to be closer to the latter, imo.
Good to see you're still in the streets, TC.
