Putting any sort of volume in on the web version is just a complete joke, it's laggy and the time bar just runs out before you can make a decision. I can't explain how tilting it is when this happens, the download client was fine when playing a few tables and since the last adobe update i have not been able to play on it.
How can it take so long to sort this out, for all the positives sky have it's completely overshadowed by poor software and a slow response to fix a clear problem.
If anyone knows how long it's going to take to get this sorted or if this sort of thing has happened before and how long they took then, let me know please as i have had to withdraw most of my bankroll and put it on another site for the time being.
Regards Michael.

    Is it like it for everyone or just people that are now downloading the client?
    playing through the browser is horrific.

    Good morning.

    I may be completely wrong, but this MAY be the problem that arose last week due to an Adobe Air Update, which subsequently required the Download Client to be re-installed to account for the Update.

    Might be worth a try, & I'm sorry you have experienced problems.

    I am with the Techie guys tomorrow in Nottingham, & will raise this thread with them, & see if I can get you a better reply....

    I uninstalled the download client and it wouldn't let me download it again it says download error. It's been doing this for a while now, not sure if anyone else is having the same problem... and yes playing through the browser is useless when multitabling.

    Yes Tikay it's definatley an issue with the adobe air update, i have tried to re-install but it won't let me.
    Ok thanks for having a look into it then, i'm sure there must be others with this issue.

    If you're having problems re-installing they may not have been uninstalled properly.

    Make sure you uninstall using the Windows add/remove programs in your control panel.

    Then i'd reboot the system and re-install using the download link on the Sky Poker homepage.

    I'm not sure what the problem could be there, it's working ok for me because I re-installed yetsreday as the failure to load problem has been driving me daft lately.

    How are you connecting to the internet on the laptop? is it wireless? 

    What error message do you see when you try to download it again?

    Need more details.

    What is the exact error message you receive?

    When do you get this message?

    Which browser are you using whilst trying to download the software?

    Have you fully uninstalled both the Sky Poker client and Adobe Air before attempting to donwload and install again?

    How did you uninstall them both?

    What Operating System are you using?

    Hi, sorry i have only just seen this acidman. The error message i'm getting is "A download error occured. Try to download again?"
    I get this message everytime i try to download, i have been trying to download every week or so for 2 months now and it's a joke. Sometimes it starts downloading the adobe air and then fails displaying that error message.
    I am using google chrome, i have fully uninstalled both sky poker and adobe air via the control panel>add or remove programs. The operating system is windows XP.
    I withdrew my bankroll about 2 months ago now because of this and it's still not working which is extremely frustrating as i like playing on sky poker. It's impossible to multitable on the web client, the lag is ridiculous.
