-first set playing 4 tables at the same time: it ran decent except for just a few bumps here and the alert sound being a bit laggy;
-second set, 6 tables this time: absolutely unplayable until I busted 2 of the SnGs; super laggy so I decide to monitor the resourse usage in Task Manager; RAM is fine no big changes there from before-the new softaware need aprox. double the RAM compared to before, which wasn't alot, so no big deal; CPU usage though was on fire-random spikes in usage, keeping it above 85% for the majority of that 6-table time frame. Again, once I dropped to 4 tables it all went back to normal. I am using a i5 older generation CPU, which is more than enough for the requirements of a poker client, at least any other than this "post-update-888". So, given that it doesn't make sense for it to be a minimum requirements issue then it has to be an optimization issue. For me right now it's unplayable until a bugfix.

I understand we are not going back to the old tables and really I don't want to, ideally a blend of the old layout with some modern colors and options would be ideal, but it doesn't seem too much to ask the tables be configured to have the old size especially with all the dead space at the bottom. Other than that, it's a bit slow sometimes and such (I assume this gets better with optimization now that everyone is on this design), but overall the color scheming and bet slider and so forth are improvements.

But grinding on it will have to go down for anyone who plays on multiple sites.
Appreciate your feedback guys which I have sent over to our team.

Thank you for being here all the same.

After 20 emails back and forth between support and I, they have now finally explained they did not credit me a refund (during the connection issues a few weeks ago now) in a 44$ PKO I was knocked out of due to their software reading a “call” as an “all in” which I have provided them proof of because I “finished in the money”. I did not. I finished In roughly 50th, 20 or so places outside of the money. I pointed this out to them 6 times in emails, which were ignored. They have eventually accepted that 5 members of staff who dealt with this were “mistaken”, and clearly did not understand what a PKO was, as they “assumed I had gotten back into the tournament and finished in the money as you received a return”. The returns being KO bounties. Not finishing in the money. So they didn’t check if I did, they told me I was wrong half a dozen times. They’ve admitted to not even watching the video...

Guess what the outcome is? Go on, guess @888rep?

Still no refund.

4. table too big compared to the font of player's names/stack sizes.. need bigger numbers
5. sit out options with check box was better
6. "snake" timer for hero feels a bit tilting
7. bigger player squares + name fonts + stack fonts
8. bigger card backs

9. add green felt option
10. bigger numbers and chips on the table
11. make smaller background.. too much blank space
12. add sound when table from waiting list is ready for us
13. put hero's name/stack to look same as other players.. in a square
14. don't ask for show hand after we win a hand
all this, especially the bold parts are baffling.

I didnt think it could be as bad as the comments but it really is.

There is a lot of wasted space in the new design. Everything is too small.

The time for hero makes me feel like im running out because it moves fast. Maybe just me.

Why has the Big Fish tab under tournaments been removed?

Also is the only way to tag players now with colours? No chicken/fish/donkey etc images?

Sir, ive been playing in 888 since you started your operations. I love the site, play there almost everyday but RN its unplayable.

Iam using 888 caption to edit the layout but its still unplayable. You cant multi-tabling.

The size of the tables is terrible. Th free space on the bottom is terrible. The hero spot is awful. The 4 color deck is way worst than in the old version. The action info its impossible to follow.

This is not an upgrade. Its not a question of getting used. This is a downgrade, but a big one.

I have access to a chat with 180 players and everyone was upset, sad, unmotivated with this layout. We want to play but its impossible. pfff

Bounty tournaments - Show the amount you actually get. Why is this taking so long.

888 employees. Go use GGpoker software, Pokerstars or even Party and than tell us what the problem is with your software.

Like others have mentioned, it doesn’t seem like there is anyone with any poker expertise whatsoever making decisions or developing the software . You’ve become a third world country in the online poker market from a players gaming experience perspective. It seems you are trying to come from a fun angle but whats fun about tables freezing everyday? Being disconnected everyday? Not being able to log in everyday? Having so many dumb software features that make playing unenjoyable like others have mentioned. Not having player friendly features (If your goal is to have less pros at least make the software enjoyable to use for amateurs - again go play on GGPoker, it’s lightyears ahead of you in terms of fun and usability). Not being able to contact support or be refunded for problems that occur - basic refunds that we are entitled too, not even above and beyond service like compensation for lost equity, you do not even provide minimal standards of service and now your software is not even minimal industry standard and you are here asking whats wrong! Go look in the mirror boss!

LOL to those who’ve said 888 has actually lost traffic during the pandemic. Is there any actual stats to show this? I’d guess their spike has been substantially lower than other sites with a high churn because of the unplayable software and terrible (invisible) customer support.

At the end of the day this is how 888 holdings chooses to operate their poker business and it sucks

Not sure why they removed the Big Fish tab,
Yes that is the way players can be tagged now.

@888rep,

Did you guys do any consumer testing for the new software? It is pure aids. I'll be cashing out and not returning - as will many others - whilst this eye cancer is being used.

The software is only new for players who were on the old version.
The current software has been running for over 2 years.

Still getting the log-in error. (oops something went wrong). Been many days without logging in now! Support have been in touch but their genius suggestion of restarting my PC and modem didn't solve anything.
Anyone have any miracle solutions or can I ask support to manually cash out for me and give up? If what everyone is saying about notes suddenly being gone is true then don't think I want to keep playing on 888 anyways.

Any chance of bringing both back?

Why does the pc version differ from the app? I can still tag players as fish, donkey etc on the app.

No they won't bring them back.
They probably haven't got around to doing the app yet.
