New PokerStars update has weird window focus issue.

Sean Fraley · #1 09-07-2007, 05:31 PM

It seems that the lobby insists on staying on top at all times, making it near impossible to press buttons on table and dialog boxes. This is on XP. Anyone else having this problem?

On further inspection, it seems that the lobby is also resizable now. This might have something to do with it.

I wish sites would stop messing with there stuff and just leave it alone and let me play.

My pt is all messed up, my AHK scripts don't work, this is seriously pissing me off. I was going to play 4K hands today on stars...but I've played 63 and calling it quits for the day...good work stars, smart business move.

thanks for the warning.
will be sure not to close my Stars now.
Leaving it open means I get to dodge the update for now while I learn of others' experiences with it.

That's funny. I'm doing the same thing. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I will probably just leave my computer on overnight so that I can play tomorrow without any of these problems.

note that we have no idea if these problems are universal or not. Maybe they don't effect you or me at all. I don't run AHK stuff for instance.

But mostly I just don't feel like taking any chances until I hear of others' problems or hopefully lack thereof. So I will be leaving my computer on overnight as well.

I got stuck with that new update and I thought Stars had turned into Prima Poker.

The most annoying thing was scrolling through large lists of tournaments. I can't really explain the problem but it scrolls through ones visible already on your screen rather than showing the ones up and down, if you know what I mean (probably not), which was annoying.

are you still stuck with the new update?

Could probably uninstall it and then go to the website and reinstall to get the old one back.

I haven't loaded it up on my normal computer today. I'll try later and if it's still the old version, I'll do that for sure.
