Better HUD Performance in Update 2.21?

I made a couple of tweaks in the latest Poker Copilot update that may improve HUD performance. This is for people who have found that the HUD gets laggy or disappears when multi-tabling for a couple of hours.

The changes are:

  • If you minimise or close the main Poker Copilot window, it will stop auto-refreshing within ten seconds of a hand finishing.
  • The Poker Copilot menu bar has a View -> Auto-Refresh item which toggles auto-refresh off and on. This can also be used to stop the main window auto-refreshing.
 I'd be happy to hear if this improves things for those of you having the laggy-HUD-when-multitabling problems.

Is HUD for ongame tournament tables now supported?

Brian said...

Can you setup the program to close when I shutdown my computer? I don't have to manually quit any other programs when I shutdown and the message that shutdown was stopped because of PCP is quite annoying.

@Sammy,

No, there's still no HUD for OnGame Network. I've reported the issue holding me back to OnGame and am hoping they respond...

@Brian,

I'll take a look.

Regards,

Steve

I had many problems today in FTP when multitabling. It made everything very very slow when I had more than 5 tables.

I always play there, but I played in P.Stars today for a while (first time since I use Poker Copilot) and I was surprised how good it worked, was really fast and supported it very good with 9 tables tiled in the same screen. I dont know how it worked there before the update because I didnt try it.

Anyway the HUD seemed to understand very well in which table I was playing each time, which never happens in Full Tilt.

In FTP problems start when playing 5-9 tables in the same screen, because some tables are tiled in front of the others and the HUD is showing me the data of the players in the tables "behind". Seems to have preference for the ones in both sides when using 6 or 9 tables.

It doesnt happen in Poker Stars though, everything seems to work faster there. In FTP, even if you play 4 tables x screen in 2 screens it makes it run very slow. The software reacts 1-2 seconds after you press the button, specially when you are required in more than one table. Would be cool if you could check it out. Thanks!

Sorry, I just realized I didnt download the 2.21, I thought it was the one I was using (2.17)...

I'll check it out =)

quick question difficult would it be for copilot to support omaha, because that would be amazing.

Pokercopilot 2.21 totally started bugging out on me today at pokerstars. i was playing 4-5 tables with a mix of mtts and cash and everything was slowing to a halt. PokerCopilot was registering 100 percent cpu usage in spikes and 25 ish prolly regularly. Not sure if it has to do with the pokerstars update that was a day or two ago. I'm running mac os x 10.5.8 on a 2.0 ghz intel core duo 1 with 2 gigs of ram. Reverting to version 2.2 partially alleviated the problem but still felt quit slow from what i thought it had been a week or two ago.

Thanks

Jeff

I don't even want to try this version. Turning off the "Total Winnings" auto-refresh on the main screen is a big no-no, it's just as important to me as the individual player numbers in the HUD display. Why not turn off the "Table Stats" display in the menu bar instead. Or just make a separate "Pro HUD" product without the analysis features. That would make me really happy.
