New Blog - with a difference!

The whole purpose of this Thread is to get YOUR feedback on some changes Sky Poker have made to the way the software works, all of which are explained in the Blog.

....and, to remind you, there are the questions which the Blog asks.......
1) How is it for you? (Keep it clean, purlease!).
2) Feedback – Good and Bad.
3) Could you play as many tables as you wanted on the old version?
4) Can you play as many tables as you want now on the new version?
5) Any issues/bugs?
OK, I'll get the ball rolling!
occasionally, when playing only one table, i have heard almost synchronised sounds from two tables. i guess that this was due to the hidden mini view table running alongside. i trust that has now a thing of the past. hurrah!
I never had a problem before, as I rarely play more than 3 Tables at a time.
On my Desktop PC, I've never had "Script Errors" or table-loading issues, so it won't affect me there.
On my Lappie, which is slightly older than me, I did have some problems, which seem to have disappeared completely, I can now load as many Tables as I wish, no problemo.
I also use "Chrome" on my spare Lappie, which did cause me some headaches, & they seem to have been resolved now.
Issues & bugs? I'm not sure, though I did find that when I was typing stuff in the Chat Boxes whilst 3-Tabling, sometimes the chat never appeared. But that may have been my imagination. Or, err, optimisation.
PS - I still don't know what "optimisation" is, but if it makes thinks better, it's fine by me.
A better word, though, would have been "betterisation". I prefer that.
You know when you've been betterised.
1) Intial loading of tables in MTT's seems to be longer than before. They have all loaded for me though eventually.
2) The bottom of the screen once loaded is cut off at the very bottom. I have to go to options, enable large chat, then minimise again, to view and change the options in the summary box i.e. full detail/chat only etc etc.
3) The delay has come back on the notification of breaks in MTT's after the hour mark. This can be up to 30 - 45 seconds before you know a break has begun.
I am on Windows IE. XP, version 2002.
After talking to a few of the regs who play 10 tables i thought i would have to spend £1k on a gaming PC.
Now i dont, made me smile ty.
I currently have a 22' monitor, i cant run 2 off my current PC so i wanna just get one large one. What screen do i need? i dont want to get a 30' monitor if it only makes everythin bigger. What screen reselution should i be looking at? is 1920 x 1080 or would 1920 x 1200 best?
2. Sky Poker have also taken the opportunity to decrease the time a railed table stays open from 100 minutes to 30 minutes. This has been raised here.
3. The problem mentioned in 1. by yb had been noted by myself previously. There was mention of limiting the chat box entries that are stored in mini view so I'm running a test now to see if this has happened. Either way this leads to one of two possibilities:
i. When running in mini view for an extended period of time when you switch back to standard view it will repopulate the chat box, the longer you have been in mini view the more entries it has to populate. On testing I found this would completely lock up your pc on a lower spec machine and if you are multi tabling will cause time outs on other tables.
ii. If the chat box entries stored in mini view has been limited then you can't review what has happened or been said before the 'cut off' point.
Also, with the chat box issue if you have been playing on a table for an extended period of time and switch to mini view and back you will get the long lag as it is repopulated.
Performance wise the new 'optimised' client is much better.
If you can rotate your monitor into portrait mode (I have a LG W2442PA and it's ace) so the display is 1080 x 1920 then you can get 2 tables by 4 tables on mini with no overlap.
Sadly the extra 120 pixels of 1920x1200 doesn't give you much more useful space.
BTW, my post was just feedback as requested. I know I cannot complain about anything on here so it was defo just feedback, nothing more.
I think the next resolution up is normally 2560 x 1600 but they come with a hefty price tag starting at about £800-£900 quid!
The one I'm using you can pick up for about £170 here.
+1 seems silly no one noticed that the king had no clothes on !
Can you be more specific? 5 1/4", 3 1/2" or 3", single or double sided, standard density, double density or high density. Actually it doesn't matter I have them all, I'll do you a good deal - no refunds.
btw - apologies to Tikay for hijacking this 'Optimised' thread for all this nattering but we are inadvertently bumping the thread!
