Is my fold hot key a glitch? A few times support has told me that I can still fold and I need to set up the hotkey but I can only ever get Check/fold not fold.

There is an option to have "FOLD" and an option to have "FOLD TO ANY BET" in the list and I presume Fold to any bet would be the same as check/fold but "FOLD" doing the exact same thing same thing?

Is this correct or should my hands be open folding if I am using the Fold hot key (the first hot key in the list of options)

Cheers.

there is no pop-up for a re-entry option anymore.
can we get that back?
also get rid of the sats pop-up window already or offer the option to hide like everything else.

and please stop breaking stuff that work (like the 2 examples above; sats popup was a new introduction but should have a hide option from the get-go), no offense but it gets frustrating when it takes 2+ build cycles to re-fix, sometimes more... :sigh:

PokerStars crashing A LOT of times.

Losing a lot of hands and well, the tags wasn't saved when I re-opened the program.

JESUS! A lot of time and energy wasted.

How many hands are you losing? I though this as well so yesterday asked how many i hand played which was 1053 but my HM only had 1021. The winnings were pretty close (only a dollar or two out) so I have just decided to monitor a few more days to see if i am imagining it.

Hi,

I have recently changed some settings in my PS software and have the following issue:
When i finish a tournament a pop up would show saying " You have finished the tournament " and an "OK" button to click wich helps me to see when i bust a tournament. Somehow i managed to remove that button and now i find myself sitting with 2-3 tables that i am not playing at on my desktop.
Any idea how can i bring back that pop up ?

I still have the pop up on my PS.FR software and tried to compare my settings from PS.EU software but no luck finding the right setting.

Sorcery needed

Thanks,

Ferdi

Try hitting "Tools / Restore Info Messages" ( the bottom line on the left hand column under "Tools" )

iirc that should bring back all the pop-ups that you have disabled.

I don't know mate, I play SNG STT, so probably the software are crashing when I finish a tournment(don't know why and the frequency). So if I'm playing 5 tables, at least two hands in each SNG until I can re-open and re-login, on HU probably more hands because the other guy steal with no mercy. And well, that really ****s everything.

Have had multiple instances of the Pokerstars client crashing with an, "A problem has occurred and the software must close" error message popup, when closing The Deal window. Has occurred at least three times now. Log files have been sent.

It's pretty clear that there is no meaningful testing done anymore before rolling out software updates. It's only a matter of time before PS rolls out an exploitable glitch that wreaks havoc on the player base.

btw, I was thinking that the HM auto replayer is the reason of the crash... Anyone?

I'm losing a lot of hands histories. I've done some experiments and it seems my hand histories don't save if the hand hasnt finished before I close the table. This didnt used to be a problem.

For example I play 4 hands of 10NL zoom and I pressed sit out and close table on next big blind. Only 2 hands were imported.

Next I played 10 hands and sat out, but didnt close the table. It took a couple of minutes but eventually all hands were imported.

I think hands dont import if the tableis closed before the hands have finished.

thanks

The next time this happens, could you please note the hand ID of the last hand to be saved from that Zoom session, and then send that to Support with your log files?

Please go to Help > Log Files, add a description of the situation in the text box, include the hand ID of the last saved hand and click Send Log Files. Thanks!
Sorry just saw this. Will do.

When the deal popup came up last time, I've clicked 'don't show this message anymore' and accidentaly agreed to watch it. Now I have to watch it every time. How do I switch it off?

You'll need to restore your info/pop-up messages. You can do this in your 'tools' settings.

After you've done that, you'll then have to go through the process of deciding what you want to do with each pop-up again as they come up and in the case of the 'deal' one, you can then switch it off when the next jackpot spin is struck.

This is exactly the problem I have been encountering, sometimes I play an orbit to test and then leave the table open for 5 mins but it stays at 5 hands imported.

The last two days I have asked stars for my hand count and it is about 30-50 hands more than HM has (only 1000 hands or so, so could be worse on a bigger volume day) weirdly the winnings tallies up to near enough exactly what it should be (starting balance + what HM says).

I am just going to keep testing for a few days to see what happens as I only noticed a week ago when I was testing HM because of an error and I am not exactly sure if it has always happened or if it is even a fault or not?

Have noticed the same kind of discrepancies between PT4 hand counts and the client hand counts for pretty much forever. I just figured some HH's do not get downloaded properly and have just learned to live with it.

Sometimes when trying to open hand replayer, or just opening new table, it doesnt open and I get the following message:

low system resources



I included in the pic the task manager so you can see the process that are runing and see the insane memory pokerstars is using

Could you tell me what software do you use to set the different bet sizings that are shown in the picture.

Sorry for posting this since it's not related to the thread. I can delete it afterwards.

It's a known bug, check recent posts in this thread.
