Wow, first, really 50 tables? I imagine any computer lagging with 50 tables whether running SaT or not. How/why are you playing so many tables? Cash or Tourn? I'm very curious, care to share more ?

I just realized, that when tables are minimized, SaT cannot scan for the fold button. So I don't know how SaT has been detecting that minimized tables have needed action for you so far, because in all of my tests, SaT cannot scan minimized tables. Perhaps using Scan Mode = DWM in conjunction with Windows Aero, it works now. I've been on WinXP.

Anyway, I've found the problem. I just tested this with Stars and OnGame. Here's the thing, SaT will constantly check to see if your tables are the correct gridsize, and will auto resize any tables that aren't. When you minimize a table, its obviously not the correct size anymore, and SaT will keep trying to resize it. It actually keeps trying to do this for Stars too, but because of the way Stars handles resize commands, we don't pop the table up. For OnGame, iPoker, and some others, the tables will not redraw, so I manually send mouse clicks to the border, or even click and drag. When doing this, I need to pop the table up.

That may be more detail than you're looking for. In short, SaT is not expecting tables to be minimized, and its probably not a great idea to do it. And it really shouldn't cause any performance improvement either.

Playing that many tables will naturally result in slowdowns in conjunction with third party software. Are you using HUDs on 50 tables?

If you would please email support @ stackandtile, I'd like to have your contact incase I do investigate if there are any more performance improvements I can do.

tables pop up immediatly only when snt is on. pop up at action on ongame unchecked.

i use snt only to pop up tables if action is needed afterwards i ignore those tables.

i thought minimizing them would result in a better performance as 50-60 tables stacked on screen laggs my computer down quiet a bit.

have the stack slot outside the screen atm which is a bit better.

any performance tips ?

I want you to test out a few things for me.

1. Don't change anything. Load up OnGame and Ipoker, and reproduce the error for yourself. Try to minimize tables. Now, when do they pop back up? Immediately after minimizing? Or only when its your turn to act?

2. Next, all I want you to test is to Stop runnning SaT. Then try to minimize again and see if/when the tables pop up.

3. Finally, have you turned off this option in OnGame? If not, this could be the reason that tables pop back up..

Yeah, can you try that setting and then start SaT, then just put one table in the stack and wait for your turn to act, it should then move the table into the grid. This is the most basic thing SaT does and we need to ensure first that it can do that successfully.

If you try to move a table to the stack with this setting, and SaT immediately pops it back to grid before it is your turn and continues to do that each time you try to send it to the stack, then we know theres an problem. If it works as expected, then we can rule that out..

Happy to help.

I've never used that setting... I pretty much only use SnT to size tables, stack em, and move em around the grid...

Ok well you're gonna need to help me debug this, I'll keep firing questions as I think of them and maybe we can figure it out.

First, the most obvious: when using Tile Setting = Action Required, do the OnGame tables correctly pop out of the stack and into the grid when it is your turn?
Posted by wrapitup - 06-02-2012, 12:27 PM
They just pop right back up within 2 seconds.
Posted by SaT_Admin - 06-02-2012, 05:01 AM
This is very strange because SaT shouldn't be popping any tables up, unless they need action. But if you say that this doesn't happen on other sites, then for some reason OnGame is the issue.

Do they pop up immediately after trying to minimize them? Or will the table stay minimized for a short period before something triggers it to pop up?
Posted by wrapitup - 06-02-2012, 02:11 AM
This happens only while running SaT.

I use the ignore table frequently, but I don't want SaT to ignore them... I still want them organized to the stack, but I want to be able to minimize them as well!
