Full Tilt connection issues???

Im having trouble connecting to FT and getting no response from support via email other than a confirmation of received e-mail. Its making me nervous considering Pitbull poker was apparently just shut down. If anyone else is having issues or no problems can you share? A heads up might put me at ease

No problems for me.

Never had a problem staying connected to FTP other than when my ISP has issues.

Did you try restarting your computer. I find if there is an update for FT and you have not turned off you computer in a while or have Firefox open during update, it may not work. Shut em down for a minute. X

no problems for me either if your not sure if its there server or your computer you can look up the status of the server by the main page on the fulltilt site if its down for maintenance it also lets you know

They are doing maintenance today and I cant connect yet ether, site says check back soon... very specific.

I cant log in right now !

Full Tilt is down for the count. And I rebooted my entire computer. The software is not even popping up. My very first thought was a little frightening. It was 'What if they discovered they couldn't cover that $50 in every pot for that Take 2 promo?". Then I thought "Wow, what if they ran the promo knowing full well they would take the rake and run?" lol Boy, wouldn't that be front page news, and not just in the poker world. Just a little good paranoia 'the morning after'. But really, no maintenance announcement? Not panicking.... yet.

rofl. they went down for maintenance at 5am for 2 hours. back up now.

Still can't get the software to even pop up. I even tried launching it from Program Files. Is everyone else having better luck??? If I uninstall & reinstall, will I still have all my notes on folk?

I can get the software working - but when i go to check on the 'promotions page' via the cashier i just get a welcome page and no options of promotions

Not paid for Take 2 promo yet either

Site now working, when you click my promotions and then take2, it says 'not logged in'. no $50 in account,,,,wtf is going on FT?

Okay, I got it to work. Here's what happened. It was already open in 'application running' (when you hit control/alt/delete) but the client was otherwise invisible. I hit 'end process' and relaunched it. Thanks all.

Ian, the promo page says we get paid by tomorrow, so keep yer shirt on.

Yeah, I'm getting that too. At least the money I already had in there seems to be intact. They'll probably clean up their little mess soon.

I need the $50 to buy a shirt

Yes, your notes will still be there.

I have actually uninstalled & reinstalled several times since they've done their upgrades. I found it faster than waiting for the software updates. I don't take many notes (just stuff that says "fish" or "easy money" stuff like that), but they were all there afterwards.

I'm able to play as well but I can't check my promotions page.

LOL! That was good!

Thanks, good to know. In Omaha, some notes gets kinda specific, like 'chases any low' or 'pot raises naked aces'. Unlike NLHE, it can be a small world at the O8 tables, even at mammoth FT.

Had problems when they changed their format but for the last month seems ok

Connection issues have not really occured for me - did find it a little laggy at one point last night but connection was still good.

Yesterday and today I am been having all kinds of issues staying connected. Played 4 HU matches today and on one of them the other player was also having the same problem.

PS I got my 50 from take 2. I think i will start a thread for everyone to check in when they get paid.

Im still having trouble. The software opens but will not connect to their server. I tried everything from uninstall/reinstall to messing with the firewall (always allowing FT access) and still cant get on.. I miss my FT Hellllllp!!!!

uhmmm well im playing in a tourney that started at 3...never been disconnected either.....

did you pay your internet bill??????

They've been having the same problems on Pokerstars...for HU Qualifier & the 1st match!

lol yah internet's paid im on here. No issues with other sites programs. Its to the point now i cannot even connect to the FT.com homepage via internet explorer.. whats going on???

if you are using vista make sure you are running as admin.

I am on FTP just fine.

Sounds like you might have a virus. Do you run any type of virus scan? If so, is it up to date?

I had a browser virus that took over my browser and didn't let me get to a lot of different sites. It also prevented my virus scan from updating. I had to get rid of the virus before I could update my virus scan. Catch 22!

I seem to *always* have problems staying connected to FT. The other day, I decided to install it on the wife's computer to see if her's would stay connected better (she's hard-wired, I run off a router). When she found out, she got pissed and I deleted it. Now her computer is seriously dragging. I've run every virus/spyware/etc scan I can find, and it's not coming up with anything. Either weird coincidence, or..?? (Of course the wife is REAL pissed now)

I have been having the connection prob's @ P.Stars & Ultimatebet - I get on, but get knocked off during hands. No prob at all on Players Only, so I find myself playing there more these days. Not sure if it's my hughesnet or what. All I know is I stayed connected better when I had slow dial up on those two. Putters clean. Back maybe 2 yrs ago i had to completely delete Party poker - kept getting trojan horse that antivirus traced to them. After re-installing twice, I thanked God that I hadn't won any freerolls yet, so had no money in there - so I deleted perm. Now I hear they don't take US players anymore? I have friends from home games that played there exclusively, I bet they are pissed.
