I have had an invitation to try this new software. The thing is, sky want me to use my own money in live play to test this software. Would you?

    decline the invite if you feel that way.

    if you do decide to join you still have the option to play tables in the old format

      Will they be adding a RNG to the new software?

    The question is - do you trust the Sky developers with your own money on software that is not on a released version? I don't think I would to be honest.

    I tried it for the first time last night.

    It works fine. It takes a little to get used to as all software does when it changes and looks slightly different, but I didn't encounter any bugs.

    Not tried the new version but I did beta-test the current version many years ago. Never suffered from any problems then. Any issues were cosmetic IIRC. Any bugs should be relatively minor.
    Remember beta-testing is late stages of the testing phase so any major issues should have been detected and corrected.
     
    I wouldn't be too concerned using my own £££££££age

    1st hand I played I had AK went aipf got called by A9.  flop came A9X xx
    so the new version is just as reliable as the old  imo.  :)

    ps; I did only buy-in for £1.40 not the full £4...
          so it's not all bad news. :)

    Been using the new software also for quite a few months, unlike the flash based software had no tables freezing on me , no bugs and Sky have listerned to users feedback and have made changes.

    Personally I have lost money on old software not only do I think Sky have created something at last that is proffesional and smooth.

    I do have 1 complaint please please please get this new software launched asap! :)

    For those who are on the new system, what improvements on the current software have been made?

    I've dabbled on the new software but seem to find myself missing crucial action and missing hands comlpetely endeding up sitting out as i don't realise when its my turn as easily as the old software. This is only the case when i multitalbe thuogh so could be a case of getting used to the new graphics.

    + points
    Game is smooth
    chat in miniview (well there is no mini view but when you resize the table)
    the cool graphic when you win a hand and you watch your ingame balance tick over to the final amount
    Notes feature improved giving more room for notes and can assign different types of player different colours
    EDIT The ability to "Raise to" makes things simpler imo to
    - point
    I would like to see the whole cards be as large as the old software in comparison to the size of the table
    Pre flop betting options no need for 2bb keep as rase and options in forms of x3 x4 ect rather than 2bb 3bb 4bb makes re raising tricky

    I have just joined the trial and used it last night for the first time - very well developed and I find it much more clearer than the other graphics - I will keep using it and report back any issues I feel need addressing, but all good so far, except it is only for the cash tables and I cant wait for the finished software so MTTs can be accessed  - cheers sky

    don`t know if it`s just me but loading up the beta tables takes forever for me anyone else the same?

    if it was quicker loading I would be using the beta tables more.

    yeah that's been happening to me, it seems to take an age to load . lost count of the times the free seat has disappeared while the table has been loading.

    another anomaly I encountered last week was a little strange. last week the beta wasn't available, so as per when I wanted to play I joined waiting lists. the first few loaded the standard version when the seat became available but then it was beta tables that started to launch which weren't available and just came up with error messages, which meant I lost my place on the tables. got a little tilting in the end. anyone else encounter this?
