most themes, if not all, have an options button and a layout button which bring a pop-drop down list resembling the Mac menu you are fond of.

Mercury is not one of them. Mecury has table settings option but it pops-up a GUI interface.

Options is usually underneath the dealer chiprack and layouts is the two window icon.

I had a quick test in the following themes and they all have Options & Layout buttons:

Nova
Classic
Black

A couple of weeks ago I reported an issue in which my theme changed from my custom theme to nova, everytime I closed and restarted the client. The same happens with cardbacks and decks. They reset to the default cardbacks and decks.

Today, I tried downloading the latest client version (10124) and the issue remains. Please address it.

Build: 10125

Some problems I faced while using HUDs:

Using Jivaro , after opening 6-8 tables it started lagging. Though it didn't make it unplayable but it was not pleasant.

Using Jivaro and TimeMojo at the same time crashed my PokerStars (lost some of my filter settings which I just set)

Was unable to open any more cash tables as the error appeared: Low system resources. Later realised my AVG Live optimization may have set PokerStars to low. Added to exceptions

Can you please change it so that the News screen doesn't pop up every time you log on on a mobile device. When you are connecting on 3G it makes things a good few seconds slower, surely the first log on of the day is enough, repeat ones should just allow you to go straight to the lobby.

If you are still having a problem, please contact Support@pokerstars.com for further assistance.

I hear you. This has actually been an issue for years and we have an open item to use Enter in that dialog, but it has never been deemed important enough to make it into a build. Thank you for bringing it up and I will keep trying…

mac menu bar not used anymore in ps7: i still demand that the menu bar is used like any other mac program does use it in order to get to the function i wanna use quickly!!! to be able to only use the ps7 app window to get to functions makes NO sense!!!
I understand your point, yet from a code-maintenance perspective, standardizing on the App menu system does make some sense. Having two completely different menu schemas for Mac and PC is not a good thing as it would increase the time and effort needed to enhance, maintain and QA literally hundreds of features.

That said, we are looking into the issue, but I can’t make any promises at this point as to what can be done or when. Our focus at the moment is on ironing out the residual performance issues some Mac players are still experiencing.

Just to confirm, you are reporting that the keyboard shortcut CMD-3 does not work as a keyboard shortcut, correct? Instead you have to navigate to the Settings app and click the button in the Custom Layouts page? I have reported this to the team for investigation, but if I’ve misunderstood, please let me know.

I hear the sound that it's my turn, but the table doesn't pop up right away (even though I have no active tables)

I'm only using PT4 (with HUD), and I was only playing on Stars

I played yesterday in the day (Eastern time) so I don't know if you consider this peak traffic
And just played a quick 20 minutes session this morning
Today was a bit less intense but didn't play for a long time

Lag is definitely worse when I add more tables. It wasn't apparent this morning until I reached 10-12 tables
Okay – thanks for the additional info. I have passed on to the investigation team for review and if they have further questions I’ll PM you.

Glad to hear that the client is running well and you find favorites useful, but more importantly that the random bet issue is resolved!

Ugh! Can you tell me about your situation (computer specs, network speed) and let me know which client version you are on (Help > About PokerStars: 5-digit Build number)? Also, please send log files to Support (Help > Log Files) and include a note giving your 2+2 username and ask that they forward to PokerStars Keith.

Thanks for your comments. Are you looking for general reactions from players on the forum, or is this directed at Stars’ poker room managers? I have forwarded this to the team, regardless.

The lag have to do something with animations I think!? When I reduce to simplified it goes a bit smoother and recommend all mac users to do so meantime until the lag is gone completely.
It´s like when the chip merge and the cards are dealt the lag appears the most imo and I think the problem lies there.
Still think it´s a big improvement overall tho and you are heading in the right direction.
Okay – thanks for the update, have let developers know.

Here are the instructions for Mac users:

1. Do not launch Client (or close it if already open)
2. Go to Finder Application
3. Go to System folder
4. Go to your usernames folder
5. Go to preferences
6. Find file com.pokerstars.user.ini
7. Double Click and Open in TextEdit or Drag it onto TextEdit Application
8. Find the [PIPE] Section
9. Directly under the [PIPE] heading insert a new line
10. Enter “cli=20050620” without the quotes
11. Save the file
12. Close TextEdit
13. Launch PokerStars
14. NOTE: You will need to remove this line to go back to PS7.
Sorry, no – we had to remove that access to PS6 because the client became too unstable and out of sync with the Server. PS7 is your only option, and we are working to resolve these lingering performance issues experienced by some Mac users. Please see a following post from me with instructions for how you or any player experiencing lag can help us investigate the sources and resolve them.

Okay – thanks for the information. I have reported to developers as it may be helpful with lag investigation, but you should also contact the vendors of those tools to have them investigate from there end why using their software adds to or causes performance problems.

For those players still experiencing lag with PS7, we are committed to resolving them and you can assist us in our investigation by sending me a Private Message with the following details:

1. Your PokerStars client version (go to Help > About PokerStars, note 5-digit Build number)

2. Your computer specs: CPU speed, Memory (RAM), Operating System & version, age

3. List of the third-party tools and HUDs you use for poker (vendor, version, type)

4. Your network speed: ping, download & upload speeds (use speedtest.net or similar)

5. Types of games / tournaments you play and the table theme you are using (Mercury, Black, Nova, etc.)

6. Number of tables you play simultaneously (multi-tabling) when lag occurs

7. Your preferred layout style for multi-tabling (stacked, tiled or cascaded)

8. Describe the lag effects you are seeing –

• What is happening? What is the nature of the lag, how does it affect play?
• When does it happen (during peak times or other), is it consistent or intermittent?
• Does it get worse when you play more tables or with more players connected?
• Does turning off your HUDs/tools have any affect? (You have to restart the poker client to tell)

===========

Next, it would be most helpful if you can do the following:

9. When you are experiencing the lag effects, send your log files to Support. Go to Help > Log Files, add text to ask Support to forward the logs to PokerStars Keith, please include your 2+2 user name so I can tie it back to you and then click ‘Send Log Files’.

10. Take a video screen capture of the lag effects you are seeing, using Camtasia or similar video-screen capture software that can produce MP4 video files. Send it to Support@pokerstars.com along with a note describing the lag, when in video it occurs, your 2+2 user name and ask that it be forwarded to PokerStars Keith.

=============

PokerStars understands how frustrating it can be to experience performance issues when trying to play poker. We are working diligently to resolve all these issues, and we very much appreciate the time and effort from players willing to help us investigate the sources of these residual lag effects.

How about getting rid of the red "!" icon from the daily challengers button within the lobby and at the tables when there are no challenges available or upcoming. It is annoying seeing it displayed, and I feel like I am being trolled every time I click into it just to remove it.

@centebakkie, when you say your favourites disappeared, do you mean that tournaments you previously favourited are no longer showing in the list of favourites, or do you mean that the favourited tournament is not showing in the list of tournaments?

If it's the latter, players in here, the original PS7 beta thread, and the MTT thread have been complaining about this since the creation of PS7 and favourites. The tournaments disappear from the list every time the guarantee changes, and it is incredibly frustrating if you have individual games selected.

I don't really care if it shows in the lobby how much money players have won from KOs in a standard KO tournament, but it would be very nice if the tournament summary provided the amount that I won from knockouts.

Anyone else who currently gets, or earlier have reported, total crash when starting PS7?

I've tried total uninstall + reinstall without results. Even removing my user.ini and other profile files.

The weird thing is that PS.FR v7 client is working just fine.

This is not an issue. CMD + 3 stands for 'Apply active layout'. If Tile is the active layout that would mean CMD + 3 and CMD + 9 would do the same thing and that's why it doesn't work once you hit CMD + 9.

You mean a simple crash or you mean the blue screen of death? If you mean BSOD standard software shouldn't be able to cause blue screens, if PokerStars crashes it will do so without taking the operating system out with it.

Have you looked in the mini dump files that are created with a BSOD crash? This will show you the reason of the crash, the video/link below will tell you how to locate and read the file using XP:

2. Lobby lags as hell

I mean, how can the developres of PS be so inept to make something totally nonfunctional! Yeah, im not working with you but i use it a demand it to be the same good as it was on PS6, PS7 is utter S**t, seriously you shuld feel so bad to have ruined something functional to something that does not work ok.

And now... we can not back to PS6 fkk!!
