I've requested you on skype. I have no idea whats going on, or why it is randomly stopping to work. Again its good that re-including the sites worked. But I'd like to find out what the problem is as well. I have not heard of this from anyone else yet. I'm sure there would be plenty of reports. Maybe its something specific to your system.

After I reincluded sites on the break yet again, everything started working again. But man, can you do something about? I hate to see AA and KK getting herofolded pre.

And I am back. Same thing happened today. I don't know what's wrong, maybe Sat decides to act up on Thursday?

I had to switch pokerstars into focus mode to be able to play somehow.

If you can, add me in skype (same name), I can show you what is happening live.

So my 888 and overall table size settings look good, we can rule that out.

"Problem starts" - that means one of the party tables stops popping up when action is required there. Sat sees it, table counter sees it, but it doesn't move focus to it when action is required. Today I didn't have that problem, but I played 2 party tables at a time.

I do not have problem, described by user "Felix" in that link.

I will run test from that link and report back.

But if you ever played poker professionaly, you know how stressful it is. I don't tilt from poker itself, but when something not poker related like interent/phone/computer/software etc. starts causing problems, I get from calm to mad very quickly (I think all poker players lose their shit in this kind of situations).

I do play poker professionally, although lately only live when a big PLO game gets put together. Its too tough to play online in the U.S. that I can't be bothered. I used to play mid-high stakes online so yes I relate when technology messes up. For example, connection issues in big hands were a huge pain. I can tilt with the best of them, so I do understand.

Ok then we can rule that out.

Quote:I resized all tables to bigger sizes, because 888 seemed to have problems with that.

888 sometimes poses a problem because of its buttons. SaT looks for the color of the Fold button to determine if action is required. On 888, the buttons are black, with only a small sliver of color near the bottom of the buttons. When the tables are small, the color shrinks even more. So it was a good idea to enlarge the grid slot size.

Quote:Problems starts with one party poker table, it's usually a rebuy one (I don't know if it's a coincidence, or it matters).

First, just to clarify, when you say "problem starts", do you mean that the tables don't get detected as requiring action? While they still show up in the table count #s?

But every piece of information can potentially help. For example here, you mentioning a Party rebuy table reminds me of this thread, where a user said that SaT was clicking on the 'rebuy' button causing a popup to appear. However, in my testing, I couldn't reproduce this, and the user doesn't seem to respond anymore. Do you get this behavior?

Your settings look good. Usually with this type of problem, of tables not popping up, or being incorrectly detected as needing action, I ask the users to run the Test described here:
http://www.stackandtile.com/sat/help/tab...stay-stack

Please try that out for each site that you play on. I know that you use tile only mode, but SaT uses the same internal mechanism for detecting when its your turn to act across all modes. This test is an easy way to verify that its working correctly.

Oh man. I don't know what happened. I replied to your post a few days ago, but it must not have gone through. Geez I typed up a long response. I'll have to do it again. Sorry about that.
Posted by Mad1Lee - 09-22-2014, 10:12 AM
It worked today. I still don't know what happened last time and if it's going to happen again.

And there is no alternative to your product, really, you are practically a monopolist, but I hope you are not taking too much advantage of this situations. Because pros like me need this kind of software, and although I always rant about its price and everything, I am not about to stop paying for it and refuse using it.

I have an absolutely new machine (8 cores i8, 16gb ram, SSD drive), legal Windows 8 home premium, working antivirus, it literally chews thru any poker software and I don't have any problems with performance. I have HM2, no additional plug-ins.

I didn't make any hotkeys. I have "activate when action required" in advanced settings, I don't use stacking, I tiled tables manually. Scan mode "DMW", aero theme in Windows. I resized all tables to bigger sizes, because 888 seemed to have problems with that.

Problems starts with one party poker table, it's usually a rebuy one (I don't know if it's a coincidence, or it matters).

Fix what? How can I know what to fix before we've even identified the problem?

It sounds like you are unhappy with the product, and were unhappy right from the start. If you do not think the program provides you the value that you pay for, then you probably shouldn't use it. I'm sorry to say that, because I want customers to be happy and satisfied. Of course, if you are truly willing to try to find the problems and get them resolved, then I will help you as much as I can.

If its working now that you've re-included the sites, then thats a good sign. I cannot tell you if it will start to mess up again when you increase the tables. Perhaps its a problem with your computer, maybe it cannot handle the volume. Or perhaps a configuration problem. Or maybe SaT has bugs that I haven't fixed. My suggestion is to use Play Money, start with a few tables and slowly keep increasing the tables and making sure that it works as you expect. When something doesn't work as you expect, notice what happened and try to reproduce the issue. If I can reproduce it, then I can fix it.

Its very strange that SaT would simply stop detecting tables altogether. If the tables are still showing in the counters, then I would think things should work. Did SaT's hotkeys still work on these tables? How are you using SaT? What are your layout settings?

And if you have suggestions on how I can make the setup easier, I will definitely hear them and take them into consideration. This type of software does require a bit of configuration and I would want it to be as easy as I can make it for the end users.

If the program starts to malfunction, you should immediately stop using it. In the future, simply turn off SaT, tile all your tables, and turn on each site's own "pop up tables when action required" option.

With 4 tables left (thanks to that major bugging out), reincluded all sites. It seems to work (3 tables now), but I am not sure it will with 15 tables. Still don't know what was (or still is) wrong.
