Poker Copilot 4 and OS X 10.11 El Capitan

Solution 1 (Preferred): Upgrade to Poker Copilot 5

Poker Copilot 5 works fully on OS X 10.11 El Capitan.

If you have Poker Copilot 4 and wish to use OS X 10.11 El Capitan, we recommend that you upgrade to Poker Copilot 5.

Solution 2: Download and install Apple’s “Legacy Java”.

We don’t support Poker Copilot 4 on OS X 10.11 El Capitan. However, if you really want to continue anyway, the solution follows:

Poker Copilot 4 will only work on OS X 10.11 El Capitan after you manually and install download a component from Apple.

When you try to run Poker Copilot 4 on OS X 10.11 El Capitan, you’ll most likely see this window appear:

(“Poker Copilot” cannot be opened. This application requires the legacy Java SE 6 runtime which is unavailable for this version of OS X.)

Apple’s “legacy Java SE 6 runtime” is available to download here. Download and install it.

Now Poker Copilot 4 can be successfully started on OS X 10.11 El Capitan.

 

Poker Copilot 5.27 is now available

We update Poker Copilot every two weeks so you can keep improving your poker game.

Poker Copilot 5.27 is now available to download. This update has many small fixes and improvements. The most important changes are:

  • A huge performance improvement when looking at the Tournament charts and tables.
  • 888poker skins now show SharkScope stats live in the HUD. 888poker has changed their policy and allows us to show you info where you need it most.
  • Recent Hands now has a new item in the right-click menu: Copy Raw Hand History Text. This makes it easier to extract a hand to use in another tool.

Poker Copilot and OS X “El Capitan”

Apple has made the upcoming OS X 10.11 update (El Capitan) available for developers. Does Poker Copilot run on El Capitan? Yes, but with a couple of glitches.

I managed to play a Winamax session on OS X El Capitan with Poker Copilot’s HUD. Things seemed normal and smooth. But Poker Copilot’s main window has a couple of glitches. I’ve investigated and found that these are problems with Java on El Capitan, upon which Poker Copilot is built. We’ll stay alert to this issue, but ultimately, we’ll rely on Apple and/or Oracle (who make Java) to have a fix ready before El Capitan is released.

In summary: you can already use Poker Copilot on OS X El Capitan.

 

Quickly copy a hand to the clipboard

The next Poker Copilot update will have a tiny addition, but one that will be extremely useful to anyone who wants to take a hand from Poker Copilot and put it into another program.

You can instantly copy any hand’s raw hand history text into your computer’s clipboard, exactly as it is in the hand history file.

Coming soon in Poker Copilot: Session Overview

Poker Copilot users sometimes ask for a way to measure their current session: hands played, time played, amount won, and amount won/hour. We’ve offered an option to show this in the menu bar, which has worked for many people. But it is also limited, as we can only show the smallest information.

We’ve been working on a new “Session Overview”. Here’s what it looks like currently:
