Pokerstars freezing

[mojack]

I have the same problem. I let PS know about it, but so far I have just gotten a form letter on internet connection problems that seemed no help.

My symptoms to be clear are:
1. Always and only happens within first 6-10 hands after log in.
2. Never happens again, until the next log in.
3. The hand history just says I didn't respond in time. Not that I was disconnected.
4. This started with the last PS update. I have not updated PokerTracker in a while. And it occurs whether that is running or not.
5. I have the same computer and internet connection I've always had.

It's still playable, but a big hand in the first orbit is a gamble with the no all-in protection.

Any ideas to help would be great, as I fear PS has none.

I have the same exact thing happen

I don't time out, but I pause for a few seconds about 5 minutes after starting my games


I wonder if this is some sort of bot-check

I never put much thought into it but recently stars has been freezing up for a few seconds every once in a while, I just figured it was cuz I put pahud on "flicker free drawing"

You're not alone, I have the same problem, unfortunately I don't have any solutions to offer.

I'd like to add that the freezing also seemed to coincide with a recent Pokertracker update, although being computer ignorant I don't know if this has any possible relevance. Perhaps someone who doesn't use Pokertracker could weigh in.

I'm getting it using PT or not. Mostly I get back in time for my action, occasionally not [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Same thing here, but I don't time out.

It's not PT, the last update I downloaded was a few months ago.

I cleared a bunch of stuff off my computer incase I was having memory issues, but that wasn't it.

A similar thing has happened to me in the last few days. After a bit the tables freeze, then my connection appears as 30% or lower, then after about a minute it returns to normal. I've been timed out as a result a couple times, then it goes back to normal. 99% to 100% connection and no freezing. I run PT and AceHud too.

Similar, but I assumed it was a connection issue.

Last night I'm dealt AA and I click "raise" and.... [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

The button disappeared for a while as my tables froze and then came back as the audible time-out warning was going off and the hand continued. Fortunately, I got my raise in. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

This has also been happening to me lately. I thought it was a connection problem but was able to ping pokerstars with no problems while it was freezing.

I have had the same problem - it will freeze up for about 10 seconds.. then it's fine. I added 2 gigs of RAM because i thought i was shorting on that aspect.. but no help.

Same problem here, it's only started happening recently. Freeze lasts about 20 seconds then returns to normal.
