    i also had a problem in tko tonight.. game loaded then went to blue screen. had to keep cancelling and reloading the game.only managed to play a couple of hands when screen went blue again?  when i finally got it up i had 177 chips and bb was 100 .all in and out.very frustrating.

    I had same problem.

    It is funny (not) when all other websites load immediately and Sky can't cope on TKO nights. If you remember a lot of people had problems first TKO.

    Something is wrong.

    Please get it sorted.

    I feel for you guys.

    As I said elsewhere, I was on a 7 yar-old crockity PC with very limited memory, but it was as smooth as silk.

    I do, however, close all my other Tabs, & especially the Tournament Lobby.

    I never have this problem other than last night.

    My point is simple. So many players loading the webby up around the same time, means a fair few of us won't be able to get on....

    With a software, this would never happen.

    You can't blame someones PC (Although mine is Po0)

    When everything is working fine, all other websites are working fine, i restarted my router, same problem occured (Just with Sky), restarted my PC, same problem occured (Just with Sky)

    No flame here, but does it cost millions to make a software? As it seems to be the main thing the community wants, and we are being ignored.

    Guys and Girls.  I used to have these sorts of problems all of the time and my lappy is spec'd right up.

    I switched to google chrome (which is easy and free to download) and nearly all my issues have gone away.

    I recommend to everyone to switch straight away!!

    This is just stupid now.

    Rich, Mods, someone in techie please sort out this nonsense. I'm now beginning to lose all faith in this site because the reliability is getting worse. I've got a decent spec laptop not even a year old & all I get is lagging or in some cases your cards get folded automatically. If someone cares to take a look at hand id 226039775 you will see just why I'm so angry right now.

    I've tried IE, I've tried Firefox & this happened tonight on Google Chrome.

    Please can someone explain what exactly is being done about this now because quite clearly more & more people are experiencing problems with the reliability here.

    I like playing here WHEN IT WORKS but I'm not gonna sit at a cash table for ages waiting patiently for a hand where I can stack someone only to have the system fold my cards for me on the river.

    EDIT: Just for the record, I only play 2 tables maximum at any one time & have absolutely nothing else running.

    Hi Rich

    Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. It took me a good 10 minutes to write that post because I was absolutely steaming and had to think about what I was typing so I didn't break any house rules with obscenities!

    One question you might know the answer to, with Firefox, Adobe have a different flash player for it so earlier I checked to see if they had a different one for chrome but couldn't find one. Would that have made any difference on chrome?

    Cheers

    Jay

    TBF Hogan, I'm not convinced it was the fault of chrome but then I'm no expert on these things. When I've used chrome for other general browsing even I can see that it's definitely a lot quicker than IE. I certainly noticed it on the Sky sports site which is painfully slow on IE but almost instantaneous by comparison on chrome.

    Ok, after costing me almost my entire bankroll. I have decided that it is time to quit skypoker! With the constant annoyance of losing connection to the tables and tables freezing, skypoker will not see another penny from me! I am not enjoying poker on this site with its awful so-called updated site and software. So tomorrow morning, I'll be calling (because no doubt when I try online it will fail!) to have my account closed. Thank you for the very troubled time at skypoker and thank you for putting me off poker altogether skypoker.com! Complete nonsense!!!

    By the way guys, it doesn't matter what spec you have on your computer or which server you use. I have tried on several computers (new and old), running different servers and the fault is the same. Skypoker.com is a sham!!! Which is a real shame, because it was great previously.
