That means no play for many mac players over the weekend.Can you just let us use stars6 till all mac issues are resolved?
Already had enough money lost because of this stars7 issues, dont need more
It's a reasonable question - the simple anser is that PS6 is no longer stable enough for play. As we mentioned when we made the advanced access to PS6 available, it would only be temporary because that version was no longer supported. The code is not being maintained, modified or QA'd. If the poker client software was a stand-along application, that might not be a problem.
But it's not - it's part of a client-server system, and the server code has already been through a few build cycles since we stopped supporting PS6. As the server code evolves, the client code must be modified in concert (and vice-versa), otherwise the system breaks down.
At this point the static PS6 client code is no longer compatible with the latest server build, so we have to pull the plug on the advanced access.
As I mentioned in my previous post, the new client builds have several bug fixes and code optimizations that should resolve most of the lag issues for most of the players who were still experiencing them, and indeed we have received confirmation from players on the licenses that have already been updated that their lag issues have been cleared up.
We expect that, given the wide variability of player network access, computer specs, third-party application use and play style, that there may be a few players who still experience some lag effects after the latest updates. We will work with these players to investigate and identify the remaining sources of lag. We are committed to improving our poker software across many facets of performance and features, and will never stop striving to make it better.
