After I downloaded the update, I now have no Pokerstars sounds and there isn't a Stars mixer option for volume either. Anyone else stuck with this or have an idea whats up? Really is brutal when multi tabling/tasking or on breaks and used to hearing the beeps to get your attention. I checked the sound settings and everything is on and normal. hmmm

When you take away focus most players will still finish their notes first even if all the other tables have to wait. It really slows down the games for sure!
Also it is super annoying if you keep taking away the focus.
Please check how other sites solved that years ago.

ya i gotta admit though i dig the subtlety of the change for the final table in theory, in practice i cant even see any difference with my hud cluttering things up

the option to let people design their own background/felt or choose their own custom theme for fts would make this addition meaningfull for me

Hating on the whole cap on SNG lobbies for higher stakes. Why is this only implemented at the higher stakes? I think it should be uniform. Granted tho there should be more at the lower stakes.

I actually am in favor of capping the amount of lobbies generated, but capping it to only 4 lobbies for $60 is too small. It should be around 8 lobbies for $60+ and maybe 12 for <$60.

Is a feature that you can replay the CURRENT hand (that is happening) for example :

You are on the river in a multiway pot and don't QUITE remember what exactly happened because you were 24+ tabling

You can just put a box near the PREVIOUS hand replayer so that the multi-tabling regs will be very happy with this change!
No.
If you can't handle that many tables, play less.

not really a software related request but imo anyone who uses a player's stats to insult another play (e.g. haha youre down $10k you huge fish, etc) should be insta-chat banned for at least a few days. in my experience the mod just comes, tells everyone to behaviour, and if they carry on doing it then the mod only warns them again.

I can't seem to find the new 16NL on the Easy Seat menu.

Could someone add it, please.

Anyone having trouble running Stars at all since these new updates. I connect to the server fine but then nothing will load up in the lobby, it just stays blank and says loading. I thought it may have something to do with my current connection and speed as i'm on holidays and not at home, yet i'm running 6 other tabs fine and 2 of them are poker clients.

Hi,

If you have feedback on a specific situation here, can you please send me a PM with the details.

The difficulty with this issue generally is that the "punishment" to the offender is not announced at the tables - that is, only the offender knows what action is taken. Thus, there are many incidents where the complainant is unaware of the action taken (and it often looks like no action was taken, even though it was).

With non-malicious rules breaches, it is our typical policy to warn on the first offence, and then institute harsher penalties for subsequent offences.

Hopefully this explains the situation a little further.

Regards,

Michael J

Only problem is, it looks virtually the same as the standard background. The whole point is that you instantly recognise that you are at a final table, just as instantly as know you have a good hand when you have AA. You shouldn't have to waste braincells trying to figure out if it is an FT or not.

This wouldn't be a problem, but when you make a custom background, it applies to FTs as well. Obviously redesigning new FT backgrounds is a lot of work so can you simply have the option not to have custom backgrounds apply to final tables as then I can make something that looks completely different for non FT tables.
when you select a custom graphic for your table the client saves a copy of that image at the preferred dimensions. The can be found

Code:
c:\users\username\appdata\local\pokerstars\bg
or

Code:
~/library/application support/pokerstars/bg
depending on what theme you are using there will be separate images for the regular backgrounds and final tables.

so taking nova as an example they are bg.jpg and bg-on.jpg found in the

Code:
c:\program files\pokerstars\themes\nova\green
or

Code:
applications\pokerstars.app\contents\resources\themes\nova\green
folders

so, use the client to apply custom background.
copy these images from the 1st set of folders to the theme's directory.
back up the original images that the theme uses
rename your custom ones to the relevant names and bush...bash...bosh you're set.

I can handle them. And for the most part (~98% i know what happened)
but when you're playing that many tables it just has to happen in certain pots that you don't remember what EXACTLY happened

The cap on SNG lobbies is being implemented at higher stakes first as a trial. Based on how well it works in practice, we will look at extending it to other buy-ins in the near future. The cap of four simultaneous registrations was based on player feedback in this thread:

Stars really need to get rid of waiting lists, for so many reasons.

I don't like the new luminous green "seat open" box colour (slick dark theme).

It's pretty off-putting.

When the public Beta of Fast Ring Game Poker starts, will it also be available on the Mac-Version? Will it be on Pokerstars.FR too?

Or will the public beta only be on Pokerstars.com Windows-Versions in the beginning?

Release it soon please!

Thanks.

That's the file empty-seat2.png, located in ...\PokerStars\themes\...\label; just open it with paint.net or gimp and make it black/white.

Too many ratholers. Min buy in should be 50-60 on the 100 bbs tables.

ya thats why I ask caue if the non-ratholers dont buy in with 40bb for the most part, i dont see a reason to keep 40bb buy in

- higher minimum buyin (50, 60 or 100)
- 16 tables max
- remove waitlists

voila, games just got better

I disagree, 24 max is good and so is waitlists.
