Pokerstars freezing

[schwza]

i'm having the same problem. has anyone tried observing tables for a few minutes before playing to get the freeze out of the way?

I thought it was the same as party when the buttons disappeared, on ps the buttons seem to take up some resources or something and i only get lag when sometimes i click on one.

I'm having the same problems. It started happening for me right after the second most recent update. When there was a new update I was hopeful that it fixed the freezing. No such luck. Like the others here, it seems to occur when I click on one of the action buttons - the hard drive runs and I'm frozen temporarily. I'm usually back right after the 8 or 12 second warnings. I can't recall ever missing a hand because of it. I've never really kept track of it but it doesn't happen all the time and I can't remember if it only happens once per session or not.

This has happened to me for months, and there have been countless updates since it started happening. Support were useless so I just gave up complaining. When I first start up PS software, it will happen after the first hand that I paid to play, i.e. if I paid a blind or ante. It doesn't happen after observed hands. It also happens in play money hands, so I used to always sit at a play money table and play 1 hand before moving into a proper game. Once it happens once, it won't happen again until you shut down the software and start it up again. For me, the pause is long enough that I will time out at the start of the next hand only if it is a speed table.

I switched to UB due to same prob. I am not running the other software you mentioned though.

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 thought I was imagining this problem until I saw this thread. I'm not sure it happens within the first 6-10 hands, though.
