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.

Is there a way to prevent the update from happening? I know you can do it with UB by removing the autoupdate file from the UB folder (or something like that). I don't feel like having problems on juicy Friday.

Run Stars from PokerStars.exe rather than the default PokerStarsUpdate.exe.

Wish I'd done that!

I notice two new things in this update,

1. When your in a tournament, and click view lobby, it doenst go the tournament lobby anymore. It simply goes to the pokerstars lobby.

2. Their is no countdown at break on each table, It simply says, "Players are now on break".

Are these new features or bugs? Not quite sure...

Well, I have closed P S twice today and re-opened and have not had any problems. In fact, I haven't had an update today either. I just now logged in--no update--oh well, maybe everybody doesn't get the update at the same time since the lobby is not resizeable for me like the tables.
