Multi tabling

Hi

Does anyone have an issue when playing like 12 tables on sky poker download client?

Sometimes lags and then occasionally says sky poker is not responding and then forces you to close the client?

I have a decent laptop and internet is wired and always 50mb+

Cheers in advance

    Yes this is a long term known issue - Unfortunately I don't believe there is a solution at the moment. I find that checking HH and opening the lobby often cause the crash so I avoid doing so while playing a hand.

    Yep, it doesn't happen to me as often nowadays. Might be as I'm on a better PC now.

    As Smartgoat says, opening HH or even moving new, loading tables can cause a crash from my experience.

    Out of interest, do you tile or stack your tables? I've always tiled them myself, but was experimenting with stacking them the other night, and it seemed to be less laggy. I did find I missed when I was away a couple of times though, so I'm back to tiling them now!

    Yes, I can quite comfortably play more on the other poker sites with no issues, however, with the SkyPoker client problems (lag, delayed reactions, jumpy etc) start to become apparent after 9 or 10 tables are opened.

    I would like to add a few more tables, however, I stick to playing 8 or 9 at the moment to prevent any problems.

    I live in hope some tech-genius can figure a solution, even after all this time. If not, we'll just have to make do until the new software is released.

    I guess it will have to be before the end of the year when Adobe will stop updating and distributing Flash, as I believe the client and browser used flash?

    It's a well known problem - i have voiced the issue on numerous threads on here (and to support), this being the latest one, but alas it has never been fixed. It's been a problem for over 5+ years.

    I cant for the life of me understand why they haven't fixed it, as they will have lost so much in rake from players not being able to multi table, and players simply choosing not to play here because this happens to them.

    :-(

    I would expect Sky Poker to be on a new platform quite soon, so hopefully that will solve the problem permanently. I don't know the exact timetable, so no point asking "when", but I'm hopeful it will be quite soon.

    That's promising to hear. I have came across some of your previous responses regarding the new software, and I completely understand that you are giving us as much information as you can. You do a very good job at answering any questions and keeping us informed about all things Sky Poker here on the forums. And I for one appreciate it. And I will be waiting patiently for the new client to be released.

    That is my hope too. That is one of the reasons I now play almost exclusively at Sky. For the smaller [sometimes what seems like easier] fields.

    If players wanted to play with the PS player pool, they would just play on PS.

    Do we think this will be the case @Tikay10 ?

    Does 'shared' platform mean skypoker as we know it right now will be abolished? - Last I heard was that you wanted to keep it separate if possible?

    Guys, we are just going to have to wait & see.

    Personally, I'm extremely optimistic that the final solution will be fine. It won't please everyone, but it will be fine.

    That would be the dream scenario from my point of view. Can't see it happening though.

    Really hoping sky keep dyms and don't go with those awful 50/fiftys that stas currently run.

    Sky used to have the 50/fifties too - but they got zero traffic and so got removed... i'm with you - imagine if we had dym's as we do now but with amazing software! That would be a dream!

    Personally I restart the download every other break maybe but depends on table count as to how often you need to do it. I would rather do it a bit more regularly than risk it crashing when deep in MTTs.
