+1 this is the only thing that I miss from full tilt that hasn't been adopted by stars. Its great for differentiating stakes/tourneys/gametype. Plz plz consider.

I'll be interested to try it out but from how you're described the changes and from my own experience I think I'll much prefer the current system.

Also, I keep mentioning this, length of time action is displayed for is far too long
Re: Hotkeys: The issue is that we received actually a lot of "bug reports" from players about Next/prev not functioning correctly before. Even if it is a smart system, having a feature that is so difficult to understand is not desirable.

We do plan to add a hotkey that will allow you to cycle between the top 2 tables that require action the most. Would this address the problem?

So we will have Next/Prev as now and we will have a Hotkey that brings most urgent table to front and if pressed again will bring second most-urgent table. If pressed third time the player will be back at the most urgent table to act. This way you can "peek" into the second most urgent table if you want to and you still have a single key to get to the most urgent table.

Re: Nova time to act display: This will get halved with one of the next builds (currently 4 seconds).

For example so I can right-click set all 45man blue, 18man green and final tables red? If not this update is kinda useless, there are already mods out there that let me globally change the table/background look.

Alternately, please just allow the built-in final table theme to be used for all final tables. The whole point is to allow the player to identify Final tables at a glance. If I'm playing a session of 18/27/45 man SNGs and the FT theme only works on 1/3 of my tables, its effectively worthless - I still need to check the info tab on every table to find out if its the FT or not.
We will add an option to apply the right-click changes to specific table only so it will be very easy to change felt and/or background on individual tables. Long-term we will even add functionality to have profiles per game type, but this will take some time.

Re: Final Table for sub-45-man SNGs: I have raised this with the responsible people and will update later.

Next client update we plan to have it off by default for RM games so players can try it out and give us feedback.

This is not intentional and will be fixed with next client update, which is currently planned for after SCOOP in the week starting on May 21.

Certainly possible, but this feature has not been requested much though to justify adding this.

Thanks. This is a bug and will be fixed with next client update.

We will look into this. Are you confirming the registration in the first Sit & Go before pressing Ctrl+S again or are you pressing Ctrl+S multiple times without confirming any registration?

I can only speak from my experience and the system worked very well. It was much more intuitive for multi tabling imo, but this is speaking as someone who fiddles a lot with their "setup" to make things as efficient and mouse-free as possible, so I might not be a typical pokerstars customer

We do plan to add a hotkey that will allow you to cycle between the top 2 tables that require action the most. Would this address the problem?

If pressed third time the player will be back at the most urgent table to act. This way you can "peek" into the second most urgent table if you want to and you still have a single key to get to the most urgent table.

I would be happy with the previous behaviour but this would definitely fix my main gripe

Agreed. I was expecting it to work that way and was surprised to find it didn't.

I still have tables popping up and stealing focus from notes even though I have "steal focus from notes" disabled in the settings.

I also had tables close without warning when the big blind hit me after checking "sit out next big blind" even though this is disabled in the settings.

(Mac version)

Re: applying felt changes to all tables: The main reasoning to have it apply to all vs apply to current table only is that a lot of casual players who might engage with this feature would actually mean "Apply to all" and will find it frustrating to have to change the felt every time they open a table to the one they desire. This is why we need to split this with an option and we prioritized "Apply to all", but "Apply to this table only" is planned to come with next client update as an additional option.

why would anyone want to randomly change backgrounds on all their tables a few times a day rather than highlight specific tournaments? honestly confused :P

Dear Pokerstars Stefan,

Could you please do something about the corrupt user files?
In hindsight it turns out all the problems I had the past 4+ years were caused by this.
I still haven't been able to play real poker in all this time!!

After I found out about the corrupt files by accident PS told me they were aware of the problem but I should fix it myself, which clearly is literally impossible.

It is not fair thousands of people that have this problem are severely handicapped on PS.
IMO PS should be open about this and if you can't fix it offer us new playable accounts.

Your user ini file is corrupt.
This is because you blocked an x amount of player images which PS software can't handle.
You will need to rename or delete the user ini file and then unblock every image you ever blocked.
Good luck with that.

Can you still bet any amount you want or do you constantly have to fight the slider?

A really annoying issue with Zoom, every time you try and add another table an warning message comes up saying you are already playing at that table, and it asks if you want to open more.

Can you include a check box to not show that message again?
Obviously I'm aware I'm trying to add more tables, that is why I clicked 'Join Game' after all.

Also are there plans to add filters to Zoom so we can choose to display only 6max or FR, as well as hide the limits we aren't interested in playing?

Hey. Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not sure that's it.
I haven't blocked a single player image. Bet slider works just fine as well.

I guess, I'll give deleting the user.ini a try and setup from scratch.

Zoom improvement needed --> Start running the pools when 2 players sit. It's very very hard to create a pool at nl200 FR because most players get's bored of waiting while the pool reaches 9 players.

It is not about multiple times a day, but about the casual player who decides to right-click and customize his table. At that point, that user expects the change to apply to all his future tables (chances are this user is only playing one table at the moment he does this) and will be quite surprised if he has to change felt/background again.

I am not aware of us having a widespread problem with corrupted user.ini files for players. Maybe best would be to PM me with details and I will look into it.

Re: Pop up: We will look into this.
Re: Filters: There are no current plans to add filters to ZOOM lobby due to the small number of groups displayed.

There is a problem. If I keep blocking players images, some of them get visible again at some point (number > 500), even though the correct entry for each of them still exists in the user.ini file.

Example:

[Block]
Img565=14695390

After the client restart, the entry remains, but the ID=14695390 seems no longer valid and I have to block the image again. Now I have a double entry for the same image, user.ini file gets bigger and I can block even less images before the problem occurs again.

Every day I block about 10-40 images that I already blocked about 100 times before. You can't imagine how annoying that is.

Suggestion: Currently when you open the lobbies for games, lets use for example an 18man you can either sort by 'Player', 'Chips' or 'Rank'. By the side of each players name you can see the colour that you have coded them. How about being able to sort by the colour you have them labeled? Or even just none colour labeled and all colour labelled separately.
The reason I'm asking for this feature is for game selecting, at the moment when you open the lobby the players are all jumbled around, so seeing how many unlabelled (non reg) players you have is pretty hard, where as if they were all listed in a row its much easier, and hence you can decide to register or not register it quicker.

Thanks
