MacKeeper’s "Real-time protection" breaks Poker Copilot?

If you have MacKeeper installed on your computer, and you’ve turned on its “Real-time protection”, you may find that Poker Copilot won’t start up without crashing. For now the only work-around I can offer is to turn off MacKeeper’s “Real-time protection”.

Please do let me know via email (steve@pokercopilot.com) if this problem affects you.

Thanks to loyal Poker Copilot customer Peter for tracking down and reporting this problem.

PartyPoker support in Poker Copilot

I’ve been working on adding PartyPoker support into Poker Copilot. If you are a PartyPoker player and want to try it out, here’s a test update of Poker Copilot: http://pokercopilot.com/downloads/pokercopilot2.99_rc3.dmg

It should work with all forms of hold’em, all table sizes, and on normal, speed, and jackpot tables. Auto-hand history detection is working. The HUD is working.

Any feedback is welcome. Please report problems to me via email: steve@pokercopilot.com

 

End of a Troublesome Week

I was confronted with two Poker Copilot problems:

  1. some users couldn’t run Poker Copilot 2.97 and I didn’t know why
  2. multi-tablers were reporting significant lag problems that weren’t there until recently

Trying to solve both problems at once is awkward. While finding and fixing the problems, I was also getting an overflowing inbox which I needed to keep up with. But with the help from some patient, persistent, loyal Poker Copilot customers, who tried test builds and sent me the feedback I needed I got there. Thanks all who assisted.

So yesterday’s informal update will become the official 2.98 today.

2.98…next is 2.99…then I think I’m going to tick the version number over the 3. There’s no significant changes planned, but if you compare the first release of version 2, from July 2009, to version today’s 2.98, you’ll notice that there has been a huge amount of improvements and additions.

 

Poker Copilot 2.97 Problem Fixed?

Thanks to the people who sent me helpful logs and console error messages overnight. I woke up to an inbox full of the information I needed.

So it seems the people who couldn’t start Poker Copilot 2.97 were all using Mac OS X 10.5. I believe I’ve located and fixed the problem. Here is a link to download a fixed version: http://pokercopilot.com/downloads/pokercopilot2.98_rc3.dmg

I’m not going to make this the official version until I’m sure it solves the problem, so please post in the comments if it works for you.

 

Desperately Seeking Help to Solve the Crashing Problem

If you are one of the people who can’t use Poker Copilot 2.97 (the current update), can I beg you to do the following?

 

1. Please send me this file from your computer:/Users/[your mac os x user name]/Library/Logs/Poker Copilot.log

You can send it to steve@pokercopilot.com. If you are using Mac OS X Lion, here’s a tip on how to get to the Library folder:

2. (for the technically savvy):

a) Open Terminal
b) Type 
cd /Applications/Poker\ Copilot\ 2.app/Contents/MacOS/ 
and press enter
c) Type 
./Poker\ Copilot\ 2 
and press enter
d) When Poker Copilot crashes there will be some error messages dumped to the terminal. Copy and paste that into an email and send it to me at steve@pokercopilot.com

 

This info will help me solve the problem.
