    (Edit - I am extremely frustrated with this if this sound slike I am ranting at all lol)

    I have lag when multitabling. Have had it for over 9 months whether on IE or firefox. Tech department about as much use as a chocolate teapot. Well it seems that way since they can't solve the problem.

    Does it on different laptops too (decent spec ones). Yes I have cleared my cookies before anyone says it, AGAIN!.

    I can almost cope with being timed out of hands occasionally, it's when...

    1) it slows right down so every single table does it every hand so I have to leave the rooms that I've been playing in for ages and start to queue up again - I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW ANNOYING THIS IS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS!!!!

    2) I'm on the waiting list for a few tables - someone leaves and the table loads up - SSSSSLLLOOOOWWWWLLLLLLYYYYYY - and by the time it's loaded up, oh look - someone else is sat there and I have to reregister for the table - AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST.

    Last convo I had about it a Poker Room Manager was going to look into this and get back to me - MONTHS AGO.

    The only reason I actually still play here and not else where (where I can get 55% rakeback which is non-existant on here (don't start talking about Cash for Points which equates to about 5% rakeback please) is because of the erm, nice players I play against, to be polite :)


    EDIT: For anyone who might know why the above happens - my cpu usage varies between 90-100% when I have more than a couple of tables open (it normally sits about 15%ish) , sometimes staying on 100% for 10/20 seconds at a time. I have a very good spec laptop with lots of RAM etc so I very much doubt it is that until someone tells me otherwise. Anything else I have open works perfectly whilst this is happening, however, even when closing my 24 tabs of internet down - it makes no difference.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I will not be playing here after October is over if this isn't sorted. TYVM :)

    AHHHH - I forgot to say, using the download version starts lagging SSSSLLLLOOOOWWWWWLLLYYYYY after about 5 whole minutes!!!!! In other words, it's virtually unplayable.



    FAO anyone from Sky - with this happening to other people, albeit not many, doesn't this seem to be a bit of a coincidence!?!!?!

    whats your procsessor in your laptop?

    Also you mention your at 100% alot of the time. This suggests to me you need a RAM upgrade or a new processor. thats why i ask.

    Yeah what's the specs of your laptops/ pc's ?

    Have you got anything else running in the background whilst playing ?

    Have you got any firewalls/anti virus software ? Are you sure none of these anti virus software are updating or scanning your pc whilst you're playing ?

    Are you running a wireless connection ?
