dread a second table opening

edited May 2017 in Poker Chat

is it me?  is it adobe flash?  what is happening?

for weeks i have tried everything to solve this problem.  i have cleaned my pc, updated drivers, updated this and that, reinstalled stuff, uninstalled stuff.  changed start-up programmes, used task manager to disable processes.  alll to no avail.

when playing a table, in a hand, everything freezes when a second table opens.

i have had AA and simply unable to click a button.  i have held the nuts and only need to call a shove, but unable.  this is very frustrating and costly.

is it just me?

    I can normally get away with 2 tables, but for the last couple of weeks if a 3rd opens my laptop struggles, all updates have been done so will have a look tonight.

    Hi aussie,

    Are you playing the download client? Does it happen every time a second table opens and does it mean you are unable to play more than one table at any time?

    hi sam,

    thanks for posting.

    i always play via Mozilla Firefoz (v53) and always have.  it is a long term problem that has become impossible over recent weeks.  sometimes i am in a hand about to bet or call with the nuts and then another table opens.  everything freezes while the new table is populated.  20 seconds later I see that i am sat out.  it is an awful position to be in.

    to solve this i have tried virtually everything.  i have used different browsers (Chrome, Edge, Internet Explorer) even old versions of Firefox.  I have uninstalled many things.  cleaned this and that.

    my thinking is that the processing power requirement is now so great on one table that, if a second table starts up, the laptop is simply overwhelmed.  it is a laptop 2 years old, running windows 10, a good processor, good memory 4GB, sky broadband.

    i think that one table is now taking lots of memory to run.  but i am dismayed at the problem and pained by the lost wins. 

    one final thought, i use the old style tables.  i dislike the updated look and graphics.  is it a problem linked to this?  do the old style tables use a lot more processing to run?

    my best theory is that just one table now takes up so much processing power that doing something else is too much, even for the most powerful pc.

    Hi Both (kev I have read your other thread),

    Thanks for your feedback. Specific times when you experience this issue would be very useful. I have sent over some extracts from your play to our tech team where you appear to time out. I will keep you updated on this one, for now I would strongly reccomend playing on the Download Client.

    This post is one of many that show why I like Sky. Yes, niggly things go wrong, but you CARE.

    I was having problems on another site (which I won't name), because there were major problems on Firefox. Their "solution"? Don't play on Firefox (ignoring the fact that everywhere else works fine). My solution? Don't play on that site...
