Creating software as a sorta, kinda add-on for other software can be headache-inducing, when there's no official integration involved. There's no well-defined interface between Poker Copilot and the online poker rooms. The hand history files which Poker Copilot uses have no published specification, and occasionally the format of those files changes slightly enough to break Poker Copilot.
And so every time Full Tilt Poker or PokerStars releases an update, I hold my breath, waiting to see if any damage has been done. Full Tilt and PokerStars seem to be in an arms race, so the updates come often. Which means I hold my breath far too often. It's not healthy!
Full Tilt released an update yesterday. Overnight my inbox filled up with "Full Tilt Update Breaks Poker Copilot" messages. So enough writing for now. Time for some fixing.

Hi there,
it's good you are working on it but what broke exactly?
I don't get it because you already wrote that FullTilt were in Unicode and apparently they haven't changed on OS X.
What is different that makes PokerCopilot not wokring anymore?
After reading 2+2 last night, it looks like the Full Tilt update broke just about everything... PokerTracker, Poker Copilot, HEM, all the HUDs, all the mods... lots of unhappy users right now.
Hi Bodak,
yes I know, I read that... But all these programs broke because on Windows FullTilt wasn't saving hands histories in Unicode. On OS X they were already saved in Unicode, since a long time, Steve already wrote about that and PokerCoPilot was definitely supporting FullTilt's Unicode hand history, which haven't changed.
So I wonder what made PokerCoPilot also break (it can't be the fact that it's Unicode, since PokerCoPilot was already supporting that).
Unhappy users ;(
Hi Steve,
I wish you good luck on repairing Poker Copilot.
See you soon !
