severe lag

It was unplayable for me, I changed to the browser and it improved but there was still lag. Others on tables have mentioned it too. It cost me a fair chunk of my stack and ruins the game.

Hate to say it, but I knew it would happen, the software is shockingly bad.

    Was fine for the first few hours of my session then about 9pm, maybe 9:30pm, it kicked in and has been pretty bad since.

    was only playing the 25k and lag got so bad I started missing hands, tried to contact live chat but for half an hour it just kept going round and round.... got so bad in the end I shoved and needless to say went out which after two and a half hours grind is pretty annoying

    Yep same here.
    Really puts me off buying into the rest of UKOPS to be honest.
    It started for me around 9.30pm also so perhaps sky can look into if anything happened at this time to cause the lag.

    We were assured that the software had been tested and it would cope with running a 2000+ runner mtt alongside the regular schedule.

    It clearly can't.

      Sorry to say I had same situation, download crashed around 9.30, managed to get back on through browser but severe lag throughout. Funnily enough it only seemed to affect MTTs but dym seemed ok apart from problems getting lobby up.

    I have only been able to 2 table all night, anything more then it freezes, lags, becomes unresponsive and has to be closed down... in a way im glad i have ran/played awfully tonight, i cant imagine being deep in 5-6 tournies while its lagging like this.

    Download Client crashed just before 9.30. Changed to browser (firefox) and was a bit better, but was getting a script error if I tried to open the lobby. I was only playing 2 tables. Like others stopped me playing the 9pm £4K Turbo as software wasn't working properly.

    Had the same lag problems from about 9.30 ish. 

    Hope it gets looked at/commented on before Monday nights UKOPS day two or volume will be down by a few of the MTT regs it looks like.

    I had to close everything down (including lobbies) and reboot PC. Seemed better after 10.30 ish

    Hit me too, around 9.30pm.  Lasted about 45 mins.
    Cost me a lot of chips in UKOPS main and in the super UKOPS.  So frustrating seeing a set of Queens being timed out...

    YOU CAN ONLY LAUGH.... I eventually got through to "customer care", I  politely explained that I was getting so much lag it was making a Horlicks of the game and that I'd tried logging out and logging back in again around half nine but it was still the same then I started missing hands... the response was priceless..... that must be very frustrating she said......  then it said agent has left this chat.....

    No issues for me at all, was able to 4/5/6 table no problem. Only caveat to this is that the PC I play poker on is for poker only so I do not and never have run or downloaded any other software. Possible it's this that makes a difference, As well as being on Virgin broadband which is a super fast connection, this may help as well.

    If it was a problem with Sky would we not all be affected?

    It was fine on my end as well but I imagine if so many people had issues there must have been a problem with sky

    Same here, I was in a few tourneys including the £110er, the lag and timing out really tilted me and made me play even worse than usual lol :/

    It may be our end in the sense that our computers aren't good enough, but the Sky software should be nowhere near as resource intensive as it is even at normal traffic

    Having the £11bh lobby open seemed to cause problems and when on the download the whole thing crashed once or twice. The other poker sites I was playing on were fine.

    The dowload clients problems seem to be completely random, I had issues on Friday and Saturday yet last night it was Ok (tiny bit laggy but no freezing)

    I was playing between 3 and 5 tables all evening, mainly DYM's but 3 MTT's

    With 3 more of these super bounty hunters to come my suggestion is that the gtds are lowered.  Whilst it would be great to see an £11 £25k gtd i dont think the software can handle it.  So its going to cause problems for everyone.  For the other 3 nights that this is due to run id rather take the night off and play somewhere else than to sit there and wonder at what time will everything start lagging.  My suggestion is that it should be lowered to a £10k gtd with a max of 1000 players for the 3 remaining super bounty hunters still to come.
