This is essentially how the rsa token interacted with the client when it was first rolled out. It was changed/fixed eventually. I hadn't seen it until just very recently again. So has something changed recently? Is anyone else having this happen again?

rebump. just had it happen again. I was able to close individual tables manually and then reopen them from the lobby. I was still seated at them when I did this- but they were completely non-functional prior to trying that and it's a pain in the ass mid-session to close a table and then find that table in the lobby and do each table like that.

next time I'm going to try closing the client/logging out and in, but if that doesn't work I won't be reloading tables.

I have this problem when I have connection issues too. It'll sit me out at a table with no option to sit in, and closing the table doesn't actually cause me to leave it. because of this, if I try to open new tables, I'll get the "you can only play 24 tables message" even though I'm only on, say, 18 tables.

If you close the client, it'll kick you off all your tables and you'll have to reopen them. BUT if you kill the program from the task manager, Stars thinks it crashed and when you reopen it, you'll be back on all your tables, including the "forever sat out" ones. hope this helps as a temporary fix until they fix the software

i've recently have had that problem as well... very frustrating..
is there a fix on the way for this errrrr.....

it will basically lag - disconnect - pop back up - and ill sit back in the tables - but some are like ape said, non-functional... so i've had to close all the tables.. and re-open stars.. only to have stars put me back on the non-functional tables..

just to make it clear- the table will return to functionality if you close it and then go find it and reopen it from the lobby. that fix may work for some people who have a low table load at the time. obviously even that's a pain and took experimenting and multiple times seeing it happen to find that "fix". I look forward to the task manager "imitate a crash" fix next time.

I can't say exactly how long this has been happening (that I've noticed) now but I'll say since some time before the first post I made on it but maybe no more than a week or so prior to that.

Again, a stars rep contacted me tonight and I've sent log files for them to take a look at. When it happens to others I suggest doing same. Should help in diagnosing the issue/fixing it.

agree - (assuming this is how it's happening) a table shouldn't list with an available seat if there are waitlisted players still deciding to take the recently opened seat. it's inconvenient and after a few in a row somewhat aggravating to click seat me only to find out you can't sit.

if that's now how it happens and it's just funky timing with multiple people trying to grab the seat at similar times oh well.

huh? I am sorry but are you stupid or something? What is the reason you dislike this extra feature? Table ninja does NOT provide this feature. Table ninja has an extremely slow bb function and it only shows YOURS...every now and then... it's bad.


This is an entirely seperate EXTRA. If you don't like it you simple don't activate it via > Options > Display Money in Big Blinds


Totally seperate function...so those who WANT IT can HAVE it.


Get it?


What the hell ???

This isn't true. It's an extra $0.50 or $1 depending on the number of players in the hand. Still too high, but not nearly as bad as the above.

no, unlike some people in this thread, I can approximate how many BBs I have in my stack using simple arithmetic. Try it.

You getting paid by TN owners? Or why would you advocate paying for additional software to get feature poker softwares should have as standard anyway.

I want to be able to multi stake... without this feature id never consider it.

It's a good feature. Anyone who disagrees is just plain stupid. It's that simple.

Sorry, I thought it was. I hate spouting misinformation.

it's pretty easy to approximate the amount of bbs I have in my stack, especially since I play mostly 100NL. That's not the reason we want it. It's easier to move up and down stakes because you don't have to adjust to the different amounts of money, and it's much, much, much easier to play multiple stakes at once. If this is in the options menu, especially if it's in multi table options, it's never, ever going to educate a fish; only confuse them, so there's really no reason not to have it.

plz to be implementing stack/pot/bet sizes in bbs!

also, again, plz to be reducing wait times for new games from 15 seconds to 5 seconds.

Hi,

Just to confirm that today's intermediate client update fixed the sorting issues for fixed-limit lobbies. There were no other features released.

If players still experience issues, please PM me.

What about making an option to color code the background of various limits? e.g. 100nl=red, 50nl=black, 200nl=tan? That way we could easily keep track of tables without having to display the stack in BBs. I know people who do this manually when starting a session.

this doesn't help the issue at all and is way more complicated than it needs to me. the issue isn't differentiating between different limits; it's easy to tell 100 from 200, etc. it's not having to figure out the limit, the stack sizes, and the bet sizes every time you look at a new table.
