Can you think of a major company, ever messing up worse?
#4776373 - 02/17/06 02:21 AM

After going through all of today, waiting, watching the threads get bigger and bigger and bigger.

Can you ever think of a major company screwing up worse than today? So far today here's what I got:

#1. Curtains + some people no longer have image files in the program files folder.
#2. In random tournaments, certain players get the right amount of chips, certain ones don't.
#3. In random tournaments, players can no longer bet.
#4. In random tournaments, players can see flops without actually putting money into the pot.
#5. At random times, peoples buttons disapear and they cannot act.
#6. People are STILL randomly kicked off the client when resizing tables.
#7. A good portion of people can't even run party poker anymore because of how memory intensive it is.
#8. A whole wide collection of memory errors have shown up that we think is from some kind of memory leak.
#9. People are having to click the button time after time to make one action.

Plus, at least 10 more probably.

Now. I didn't make this thread to talk about the issues.

I was just wondering, do any of you guys ever remember a company being so incompetent to do this?

Why did they have the beta period if they weren't going to take our advice?

I can remember Windows 95 having alot of issues, but I don't they were as deep as these are...

Yeah, it's pretty mind boggling. At least it's proof the place isn't rigged. I mean, if they can't code a simple application and get it working on the launch date, how the [censored] are they going to write a card rigging system that's undectectable.

Very well said! I would think this will cost them bigtime. If I owned stock, id be waiting for the market to open.
