I now agree, this software sucks

Ye getting the same.The site has been pish for ages and seems to be a lame horse these days.

I've got 3 laptops,and none of them can cope with more than 4 tables. In fact playing 3 is about as much as I can get away with.

As for tables sticking Oval, you should try playing 30 man stt's, it's a nightmare.

The only people working for the company who seemed to give a sh1t about the poker have left, which pretty much says all that needs to be said.

It clearly can be done, as there are people 16 tabling without any issues.

Not sure which skin sexysandy69_ uses, it isnt Betfair, but he must be playing at least 16 tables at a time,including the 30 mans, and never seems to get discoed.

Pain when freezes.

Mine seems to do so for something as little as a radio broadcast changing. No problem on any other.

Not much until recently. Glitch appears to be back an far too often.

I gave up and playing on Stars and I-Poker.

^^^^^ Memo to self.

The lag the last 24 hours, even just playing 2 tables, has been as bad as I've ever experienced.

Was on the same table as nick this morning who commented on it. Lag was so bad I couldn't even type a reply.

I only played on Betfair/Ongame this a.m. Had absolutely nothing else running.
Was less runners in lobby.
Put a turbo 30 man SnG with a turbo 10 man.
No surprise to see chip as the 22 or above were not filling. Not seen on others i presume 4 same reasons.

LAG awful. Any table move just froze all BF. Worse when start more 30 players as more likely to move.

Went to pub for lunch & got a scones with cream & jam. So got a pot of tea too. TV was the queen again.

Fine on poker stars all afternoon & evening. 100% connection too so my internet was fine. Still lag on BF  on any table move froze. Gave up turbos as missing too much & sometimes was playing blinf. LAG when unfroze but not seeing cars....sic. Play at lot MTTs but 4 max at a time as action clearly freezing not just 4 me. Lots of wtf in lobby from presumably a Betfair player.

Just unreg 4 BF community. Think I'll play on stars until WSOP freeroll final. Try CC qualifying on sun only. & moan on here.

I sent them an e-mail about it..they blamed me or my setup or both was anyone but them..not got a problem this side..sure i have heard this before but..

site is a ****ing disgrace and has been for ages and will never improve so get the hell out of here like hundreds are every day !!

My mistake, I never made my point clear enough.

I have preferred seat taken (been ages since I set it) it's just that Holdem Manager's HUD has to be reset on every new table. You have to click on the seat where HEM thinks you're at. I suppose it's not Ongaming's fault (why should they have to make their software to suit a 3rd party site) but it's a nuissance and Betfair is the only site where I have to do this. Considering a lot use a HUD nowadays, it surely must put players off playing here.

There was a software upgrade last night? Lets hope they fixed some of the issues especially moving on multi tables.

Ah, ok, got you. I don't use a HUD and didn't quite realise what you meant.

I have preferred seating on HEM but only for 10 seats. No options are there for any less, no good when you play 5 handed STT.

Are you sure PT has the option for 5 and 6 seaters?

Just checked.  PT3 deals with preferred seating in 6 seat DoNs perfectly well.  Still don't know about 5 seat SNGs but I'd imagine they're fine too.

Today it logged me out already twice and it is 12:30. So presumably the emergency maintenance of Thursday morning wasn't to fix this (or the fix didn't work).

The second time was while playing my first game of the day:
a) The table comes up;
b) I click on a player's notes;
c) Software goes unresposive (as usual - NEVER ask the software to do two things at once).
d) I cannot play the first hand, arghhh;
e) the software shuts down and tries to restarts itself;
f) a white message says something like "the software is already running";
g) the main master window goes unresponsive with a message that I have to login again;
f) I use the broweser version to restart it.
In the meantime I lose another hand.

It is the BetUnfair's software because other clients on the ongame network don't have the same continuous problems. LEt's see if they run another 'bonus code' for a few aficionados like the April one.

A new one.
Got table move to final table & it froze.
I never got to play a hand. And never got to see any of the rest of the game.
The table still stuck open even though finishe long ago!

im back on pokerstars and i never have to play on this fkn sh it site ever again wwwwwoooooooppppppeeeeeeeee !!!!!

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY CLUE HOW TO REDUCE THE LAG???

I have been playing for more than 4 months multitabling SNG's 12-16 at a time and I only had very slight lag problems.
However the past few weeks  the LAG has been driving me crazy! I cant open 8+ sng without my games freezing!!! I asked Betfair what could be done to reduce the lag and they send me some updates for java/direct x which did not help at all.

If there is no solution to the lag problem I ll have to leave betfair for good...
Are the other skins on  ongame lag-free?

aura - I get the feeling you are a tad frustrated.

Take a chill pill ,i.m worried about your health.
