Party Lobby is CPU hogging beyond control - help plz

[Jefferds44]

Hey guys,

The party lobby has been hogging my CPU beyond control. It seems to take control of all my computer's resources and in cycles, making playing almost impossible. The mouse becomes sluggish and the lobby doesn't refresh itself for long spurts.

I have a solid machine 3Ghz w/ 2 gigs of ram.

If anyone has any tricks to optimize the lobbies performance or any workarounds, it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Jeff

I'm experiencing the same problems. Works fine at first but after a while partygaming.exe is using 98% of the CPU which makes for lots of problems. PT can't keep up with the importing, PAHud doesn't update the stats and often doesn't even show them. Mouse movements become sluggish and sometimes the screen freezes for 5+ seconds.

I would be really grateful for some kind of solution to this as well. I'm already using Demonster btw but that doesn't help very long.

That can happen on a low-end machine and also on mahcines with certain video cards and certain video configurations.

Try this:

Under "Game Rules & Options" / "Video & Audio Options", turn off (uncheck) everything, especially "Chip & Card Movement".

If turning off the video/audio options didn't help, then phone Party tech support.

It seems it might be a problem with Party + Poker Tracker + PAHud.

I am also using a couple of AHK scripts like you. Perhaps we can try isolating the problem by disabling one of the supporting applications at a time while playing.

Try installing Process Guard and blocking Party from hooking your keyboard. If I remember correctly this helped quite a bit. Party is still a resource hog but not quite as bad...

Also try DeMonster...

is there a way to get rid of the monster # counter in the party lobby?
