PARTY LAG + Reward

[GLmaestro]

When I 12 table on party, after 200-300 hands it starts lagging like [censored]. All the tables become slower, and it gets really difficult to play after 1k hands or so.

I've tried restarting PA hud
I've tried setting my monitors to 16 bit color
I always set CPU usage for Partygaming.exe to Realtime (the highest possible)

None of the above helps. The only thing I can do is to ctrl+alt+delete shut down the software, and then quickly restart it. The problem with this is that the tables won't arrange automatically.

I would appreciate any help regarding this, and $50 will go to whoever helps me remove the lag.

Thanks

Perhaps you're running low on memory? I had the same problem, the Party client kept slowly eating more and more RAM and when I only had about 100 MB free it started lagging. I have since added another gig and now everything works fine.

[GLmaestro]

Ive got 2 gigs, that should be enough right?

Did you try turning off antialiasing?

I think I have it turned off, not sure though. How do I check this?

[HalvSame]

Right click desktop>Properties>Appearance>Effects> uncheck the second box, "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts".

Yah, had already done that [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Anything else I can do?

No one?

You're surprised? There have been like a dozen of these threads in the past month, I don't think a universal solution has been found yet.

Over the past year, there have been lag issues that have affected Party and FTP. I've gone through 2 PCs in that time - one a 3 year old laptop, and the other a custom built AMD dualcore with 3 displays. I've never had a problem with lag while 8-12 tabling on Party or FTP, and the only difference between my setups and other peoples' is that I have always run Pokertracker on a seperate PC.

Do you run Pokertracker on the same PC as your poker client? Do you have a spare PC you can try this on? Instructions for using PAHUD, PostGRE, with Pokertracker on a different machine are available on the Pokertracker & PokerAce forums.

I don't know if this will solve the problem, but so far it's the only reason i can think of as to why I've never run into this problem on multiple PCs, but so many others have.
