Happened twice in a row now with 180s. Got folded/sit out first hand after registering without getting chance to act. Happened when I was utg+1 and utg

Edit: Have saved the log files

If titlebars/borders are removed the x isn't there.

Any news on the sounds? The warning sound playing for every table is annoying, the main reason to timebank is a tough decision, repeated warning sounds are a bit distracting!

When you click "sit out all tables" make it so any tables that are waiting for the big blind sit out also. It's frustrating when you click sit out all tables and then the one or two tables that were waiting for the BB continue to play.

hopefully this is a joke post as I've always assumed that only the ignorant and the stupid actually buy the $10 cash bonuses, but on the off chance that you're serious.. a $10 bonus costs 1k FPPs, so you presumably have 850fpps? Those fpps will be converted to 1020 StarsCoins on Jan 1st, with a cash value of $10.20, so you'll actually be better off waiting!

He's talking bout stellar rewards that cost 1fpp- if u don't make up the required vpps u lose out- they reset in the new year
I myself have 150k vpps with no chance of getting the next reward

Sounds like it might be a bug - so please send in logs with a description of the issue. Thanks!

Upgraded the .COM version yesterday, and now my sounds are inconsistent. If I have a table in focus, I don't consistently get a notification when it's my turn to play. Irritating if I happen to be distracted.

Do I tell the support team to forward it to you or simply send the log files to support with a description?

Yes I noticed that too. Infact I'm getting this "Time Warning" sound instead of the "Attention" sound when playing zoom everytime I'm UTG. Pretty sure this didn't happen before the update.

Please send to Support with the description as usual, but ask them to forward to me as well. That way I can help push it along.

We are looking into this - don't have anything to report back yet.

Not a joke (but... thanks? )

I am a semi-rec only playing 5nl or 2nl, so even with Zoom I dont get many FPP/VPP per month so that's why I just use those $10 cash bonuses every 1k for my VIP store purchases. .. I beat live low stakes MTTs but online it's so full of 24 tabling nitty regs so I dont feel MTT satellites are a better buy for me because of when those run (I.e. just before target tourney starts, so u cant unreg if u win) or what variant they are (6max HYPERS, with antes... so u start with M less than 7 iirc, so luck too big a factor).

Thanks for raising the issue. The team is looking into it.

I have a bit more info on the Leave Table button situation:

First, it's not temporary for those table themes that are presently missing the button (Nova, Classic, No Images, Shiny, Stars, Hyper-Simple, Azure, Renaissance and Nova Gray).

On those themes the Leave Table button was intentionally removed to make space for VIP Steps graphics coming in January. As the Leave Table button is redundant to the [x] close control in the window border, we did not view this as a problem.

For those few players who have turned off window borders through their OS (and thus have no [x] control showing), their options will be:

• Use the task bar to close the table
• Turn on window borders
• Use a different table theme (Mercury, Black, Slick, Slick Chairs, Marine, Saloon and Techno should still have the Leave Table button)

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

It will probably be Monday before I have an answer about the sounds - sorry.

i'm out of the loop with what's happening on stars. i re-downloaded table ninja after not using it for years and I get this pop up, am i not allowed to use it anymore? can someone please fill me in on what's going on?

This, 4 tabling zoom and the sound is driving me ****ing nuts. I had to turn the sound off completely.

Hi, is this the same for mac? I mean for the use.ini file, i dont know where is it.

I will have to play in windows since in mac it totally sucks!

ZOOM bugs and question:

Bug 1:
There are times when checking the "Sit out next hand" option between hands that it does not take affect then gets unchecked after being dealt into the next hand. This has been around since the beginning of ZOOM and is just as frustrating every time it happens.

Bug 2:
When trying to join a ZOOM table when the buy-in restrictions take affect it is not always possible to click the "OK" or "CANCEL" buttons because the dialog window extends beyond the bottom of the screen unless you choose the option "Fewer Buy-In Options." I think I reported this a while ago (as in a year ago or more), and while yes I could just select the option to show fewer options, I would rather not have to do that because I am just going to select "More Buy-In Options" next time I start a session. I think the easiest solution here is to use the full width of the window to display the red warning text. It only uses the left half of the window and wastes a lot of space.



Question/possible bug/feature misunderstanding:
Buy-in obligations. I know what they are, I understand why they are there, and I support them. Based on my ZOOM session last night, I'm unsure if they are working correctly or if I am misunderstanding something.

I started a session with 4 tables. I reloaded a little on one table (after losing a bit). On one table I won a couple of large hands, wasn't comfortable with the percentage of my bankroll on the table, so I closed it. I then bought in for less than the maximum (one obligation used). I then proceeded to go on a wonderful losing streak and reloaded 10 times for varying amounts on varying tables before my session ended, including the one which I exchanged earlier. I would have assumed, because I reloaded on each table, including the one I exchanged earlier, it would have used up my obligation. When I ended the session I was up on 3 of the 4 tables. I now have 3 obligations, or if the first one is still being applied (as much as I don't think it should), a total of 4.

As I'm trying to start my session today, as you can see from bug 2, it is enforcing a buy-in obligation even though I should still have 4 left (it hasn't been 20 hours since I ended my session last night). Can you provide some clarity on this issue?

EDIT: The client enforced buy-in obligations on all 4 tables that I joined.

Thanks Keith!

After the last update, when antes are posted in an MTT, the 'Chips moved to pot' sound is played instead of a sequence of 'Bet' sounds like it used to be. Also, 'Chips moved to pot' is played when the chips move there after the flop betting round and the turn is dealt, whereas previously, the 'Card dealt' sound was played in that situation. Was giving the 'Chips moved to pot' sound a priority over other sounds relevant to the situation intended as part of the update? I'd prefer it to remain a low priority sound that's played if no other sound is applicable.

^ I'm not sure any longer about the sounds on the turn, but as for the sounds during posting antes, 'Chips moved to pot' is played on 100% of such occasions in tournaments, but not played in ring games (instead, 'Bet' sounds are played in ante ring games like usual).

Besides, I've discovered a bug with display of carpets of observed Spin & Gos:







This doesn't happen in Spin & Gos that I play myself.

I hope Pokerstarts know how important is this problem. This is about player privacy. Please do something!

===========

To check your client version, look for the 5-digit build number in Help > About PokerStars:



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

The mobile builds containing these changes are:

Version 790 for Android (available now for all licenses)

Version 1.54 for iOS (available now for all licenses).

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

For this December build cycle, apart from some minor bug fixes, the bulk of the changes are the infrastructure for the new VIP Steps program that is scheduled to start in January 2016. There are two known graphical issues related to VIP Steps that surfaced with the new clients in December:

• ’Leave Table’ button has been removed from some table themes (to make room for VIP Steps graphics)
• FPPs are being shown as StarsCoin (this is a temporary graphic/visual issue, the actual conversion from FPP to StarsCoin takes place on January 1st)

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

Regarding the new VIP Steps program, you can read details about it here:

https://www.pokerstars.com/vip/changes/

And there is thread discussing the changes from the VIP Steps Beta Test conducted on the UK client this fall:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...-test-1556241/

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

Regarding the Leave Table button:

It affects the following themes: Nova, Classic, No Images, Shiny, Stars, Hyper-Simple, Azure, Renaissance and Nova Gray.

On those themes the Leave Table button was intentionally removed to make space for VIP Steps graphics coming in January. As the Leave Table button is redundant to the [x] close control in the window border, we did not view this as a problem.

For those few players who have turned off window borders through their OS (and thus have no [x] control showing), their options will be:

• Use the task bar to close the table
• Turn on window borders
• Use a different table theme (Mercury, Black, Slick, Slick Chairs, Marine, Saloon and Techno should still have the Leave Table button)

I remember listening to Daniel N a couple of months ago, he hinted at stars banning HUDs. does anyone in this tread have any further information on this? or any opinions on the likely of this going thew/ if so, when?

I know there was a thread in NVG some time ago regarding this, but this needs to be addressed Keith

Im playing spin and gos on quite possibly the quietest day of the year, nothing more than 2x multiplier over about 10 games and EVERY one has had at least 1 spectator, on $1 spin and goes

It couldnt be more obvious that theres bots harvesting stats and i feel outraged that this is happening

^ Baard has recently released a statement on the issue in the said NVG thread:

I'm not sure if Keith can tell us anything extra about it.

PokerStars Giveaway Freerolls: I tried to create a filter to find only these games. When setting the filter for the "Type" all of the Giveaway tournaments disappear unless I select the 'All' option. Even if I select every individual option except for 1 (e.g. Regional) the tournaments disappear. As long as I select the 'All' option for the Type, the tournaments appear. Every other filter setting is set to 'All'.

Another odd behaviour that I noticed while playing with the Type filter. If I select the 'All' option 7 tournaments would appear in the lobby almost instantly. If I select an individual option, they disappear. If I select every individual option, which causes the client to change the selections to the "All" option, I am seeing one of two things happen:
1) Only 2 or 3 tournaments are appearing in the lobby
2) Every 7 - 10 seconds an additional tournament appears in the lobby until all 7 are present.
When this occurs if I then select an individual option, all of the games disappear (as described above), then I select the 'All' option, all 7 tournaments appear almost instantly. The only time the lag occurs is if I select every individual option.

Just in case, I sent my log files to support and asked them to forward them to you. This actually led to another "issue." I used the PS client to send the files, typed up a similar message to this, and pressed Send. Nothing happened. I pressed Send again and an alert told me a problem occurred, and to send the files manually. So I saved the log files and copy pasted the text into an email. Partway through, another alert appeared in the PS client telling me my log files were successfully sent.
While this may not be an error (if the files successfully sent), it would be nice to have some sort of notification so that users aren't left wondering if it worked or not. Perhaps an alert that says "Sending files, may take a moment...", in addition to the "Success" message after they have sent.

You want effin nuts try 4 tabling Zoom on Android where the latest update broke the "thumbnail" feature! You see a blank for a new hand often as well as post-flop waiting for villain's action. Getting a headache having to flip back and forth nonstop just to prevent timing out.


Keith is this bug almost fixed? Im not sure how often the Mobile thread is checked... also others HERE may recognize the Android thumbnail problem too...
