Does anyone else have a technical problem playing in the .10 tourney? When I try to play in the .10 cent tourney, it alllllways freezes up all the time. Its so annoying that i dont think i can play it again... And its not like my computer or connection because its only the .10 tourney that freezes like that... Although I tried to watch the ftops main event and the same thing happened... Anyone know what this is about?

i know exactly what you're talking about. its the FTP game server that lags/freezes you up when you try to join (and/or intermittently while you're playing) very large-field MT tourneys...nothing to do on your end. hopefully one day FTP will curtail spending on salaries on a myriad of phoney 'pros' and upgrades its game server banks.

I haven't had it freeze up on me. My main problem with that tournament is that the play is loose as heck in the first 30 mins... almost worse than freeroll starts.

Same here..

I had AK tried to bet and it just wouldnt do it. Then it timed me out and before I knew it the hand was over with AK coming up on the flop and hte hand being won by pocket 8s..

It think its because theres so many playing..

i got the freeze up last time I played in it. which was like a week ago. i hated it cuz i couhgt a few good hands and then someone sucks out and I am out. what a bummer. I think it is a problem on their end. Or my laptop is messing up which I hope wasnt the case.

Never have a problem on that tourney but sometimes get some lag on the 10pm (cst) freeroll. I don't know why it just seems to be that one but I sit there with no buttons for several hands watching my cards fold. Very frustrating.

I guess I'll see....I'm playing in it later today. But I will say this, I've never had any problems like this with any other games there. Wish me luck, on winning and not freezing up!

thats seems to happen to me more on bodog than tilt but yes even yesterday it did it. and another thing about the .10 FR, what's with that payout? are you kidding me? 3,347 people and it pays 1-153? wtf? that's like a 5% payout structure. Im done with the .10 rebuy. wait!...I like that tourney.....It's a good tourney......FOR ME TO POOP ON!

Does anyone know if this is a new problem that has yet to be fixed, or an old problem that doesn't seem to be getting fixed soon?

software / hardware problem

I don't have any problem playing or watching this tournaments... sounds like a software issue, or a hardware issue... such as your processing power, or RAM capabilities...

recommendation: try and download a newer version of the software and see if this helps...

or try not to run too many applications while your playing poker...

Good Luck at the Tables...

This is definitely because of your internet, not full tilt. I had the same problem until I switched to cable and now I never have this issue.

No full tilt has had problems recently. A few weeks ago it was offline for most of the day. Haven't had any issues with them since though. pokerstars had a few issues some months ago as well.

Its probally due to how many people are in the tourny or something like that. That fills up with 3600 people so that alot of tables. That might have something to do with it.

I believe all the big poker sites have 2 to 3 servers feeding different level tables.

1- For play money
2- For small buyins with no disconnect protect.
3- For large buyins with disconnect protect.

2-3 maybe on same server depending on amount of registered players.

I play on 4 sites at once and have had a connection problem when in a freeroll on one site and a buyin on another site was fine.

To be honest it sounds like a computer or internet problem rather than the poker client itself. Ive never had that problem unless I have utorrent running at the same time. Yoy should check and see what processes your cpu is running since that is the most likely culprit......

I have played many large freerolls on FullTilt,
from home and at work (Boston) and have never had this problem.
Both sites have Broadband connections.
I wonder if this problem is limited to DSL/Dialup connections,
or possibly international users?

My work requires I travel to Africa a lot. I have played in all the different freerolls and small buy in tournaments with thousands of people in them. Never had a problem like you are describing.

Dank Hugh, I agree with you it could be dial up junk.

It freezes my computer too...It started with the late register thing... I think like it's such a big tourney, and since after the beggining more people join, it lags... I don't know if if i had a faster computer it would help ok.

But after the late register thing stops (when it reaches level 2), then it stops lagging

10 cent rebuy

i have gave up playing the rebuy because of the freezing up.It is definately a fool tilt fault and NOT an internet/comp fault at your end

I've had the same problem with the .10, .50 rebuy - 1k guaranteed on FT. I played it on 3 different days - it would speed up enough so I had a chance to rebuy...then hang...........LOL. I am using an older puter and only have dial-up available here - one FT rep told me the # of clients in a particular tourny will slow me down immensley. Sure enough...I tried a 2100 player tourny as opposed to the 3,000+ tourny and it was playable...but major lag - but not as bad. Then I played a 1500 player tourny...faster and very playable..but still lag. I'm going to have to stick with 1500 player and less tournies on FT. Here's a few tips that might help:

Thank you for contacting full tilt poker Support.

We're pleased we could help you troubleshoot your tournament lag issue.

As a reminder, if you are still experiencing problems with this tournament, please try adjusting the following settings (forgive us if you've heard some of this before):

* Login to your Full Tilt Poker account
* From the [Options] menu, change the Animation setting to "Reduced" or "Off" to reduce the amount of resources required by Full Tilt Poker
* Again from the [Options] menu, change the Sound setting to "Alerts Only" or "Off"
* While you are sitting at a table or tournament, click the [Pro Chat] button in the main lobby; this area is not updated as frequently as the Table or Tournament listings, leaving more resources available for your gameplay.
* Also while sitting at a tournament, try closing the tournament lobby; leave open only the table at which you are currently sitting.

Also:

* At the tournament table, click the blue button labeled [Options]
* Under "Chat Filter", turn off the checkmark next to "Observer Chat". Additionally, you may also elect to remove the checkmarks next to "Player Chat" and "Show Tips" as well.
* If the issue persists, try setting the Dealer Messages to "Silent".
* Press [OK] when you're done

Finally, try reducing the number of tables that you are playing; close all other tables or tournaments which you may be observing while playing in a large volume tournament.

If there's anything else you need, please feel free to contact us. We're always here to help.

Regards,

Brian
