pokerstars problem

lowkey · #1 02-22-2007, 07:06 PM

every once in a while pokerstars starts having some wierd glitches. Like the flop from the previous hand will stay out there and i cant see my new hole cards or buttons.. Anyone w/ the same problem and know what causes this?

Never seen it myself. If I were you, I would remove your software and download a new one.. Maybe something screw up on your computer.

I've had the same thing happen. After 4 hours or so of play the graphics glitch so that the screen is not updated properly; for example, the fold/call/raise buttons do not appear until you mouse over them, and the cards from the previous hand stay on the screen until dealt over by new ones. Restarting the software fixes it. I've only had this happen since the latest patch, so my guess is that it introduced some sort of memory leak.

sounnds like the old days in Win98 of a GDI memory leak causing graphics glitches, especially if it happens over time and rebooting fixes it

sux.. maybe your OS is fubared

try

1- make sure windows 100% up to date
2- update video card drivers ? if u have like a nvidia or ati card not an onboard pos
3- uninstall pokerstars, reboot, reinstall pokerstars

all else fails maybe try swapping your ram out with some other ram if possible, or take 1 stick at a time out to see if one might be faulty. or at least take them out and re-seat them in their slots, and make sure everything else is solidly in their slots (vid card)

sometimes just opening it clearing out dust and poking around, reseat memory etc. helps like maybe some dust clogged up and its overheating slightly over time

lowkey.

actually, sometimes the things you have described happen to me as well. it usually happens when i have a bunch of things running at once though, so i never really worried about it.

the truth is out there.

Try turning off animations.
