Lag, animation speed and game issues

Many players have started reporting issues with the Poker games over the past few days.  These issues have ranged from lagging in the games resulting in missed turns, to odd animation issues and chips being swept off of the table or not displayed correctly.  In some cases, this has result in lost hands or missed winnings.

These issues are a result of calculations that were done from July 18th to July 19th to update player stats.  It was necessary to run these updates because we had not been aware that the stats were out of date.  These calculations have been completed and are now correctly updating again.

I hope that the issues stopped once the calculations were completed, however if they are continuing please let us know by writing support[at]pokerunderworld.com.

I’d also like to mention that as a result of feedback from players, we will be removing trainers slowly over the next week, reducing the number of trainers at most tables down to 1 or removing them completely.

Also, we are still working on restoring the winning % and tournaments won statistics.  These will be restored at the same time that we release enhanced statistics for each player.  Look for this in August.

Thanks for your patience through the last few days!  In the future we’ll try and find a different way to run calculations so that they do not affect games.

Bug fixes… chat

I am preparing to do some bug fixes on the website this week. I am going to start with fixing the chat.

I have started a forum discussion about this, so post your comments there. I’d like to know what bugs you are aware of, and what suggestions you have. I would like everyone to start using the larger sized chat on the right instead of the tiny chat in the bottom corner.
