Pokerstars Video Refresh Display Problems in new update 15+ tables?

CheeseMoney · #1 10-19-2007, 02:25 AM

I thought that this may be the best place to address this issue, though no one outside of STT is playing 15+ tables except for crazy cash game setminers, and I don't know how many in STT visit the software forum. When I get to around 17 Stars tables on my 20" monitor (regular sized cascaded) I've been having problems where the screen basically stops refreshing and I can't see my cards or buttons. Mousing over a button will sort of reveal it, but I can only solve the problem by exiting out of stars completely and then reopening the client. Is this a known issue? I used to play 25 tables fine. I'd say this started 1 or 2 updates ago, and I'm trying to rule out whether or not is a graphics card issue or a known stars problem. I tried to take a screen shot but am having problems capturing when this mess destroys my screen. I've already uninstalled/reinstalled. Is this a known issue? Any ideas?

ur pc doesn't have enough memory. try adding more ram. and fyi stars only allows 12 cash game tables.

sometimes I would get this like a month ago, and I would have to resize the table just a little bit for it to "refresh" and look normal.

I havent had this problem recently so I don't think its the client, as for the tables, I have run up to 30 on my computer without a big issue its the software that kills it and winamp or whatever your playing, maybe set your HUD/PTrack/music/video to low priority

I have 2 gigs and routinely used to run 25 tables of STTs.

I should add that it probably doesn't matter, but i have plenty of video ram as well.
