I downloaded 888poker a few months ago and I can't believe how buggy it was!! At first I thought it might be my computer as I had never cleaned its registry.

Since cleaning my whole computer and it has improved, but still crashes on 888poker. It has got to the point now that I will think about unistalling it as it is really annoying me.

When I first open it, everything seems fine then the cashier opens up automatically and I have to wait for my computer to respond as this is where it crashes first. A message pops up saying a script has become unresponsive and should I stop it, I obviously press yes and again everything seems fine. I then register for a game and I get to play a few hands and it crashes again. I had just won a hand and the picture froze and the chips didn't move my way then it slowly deals the cards around the table and instantly folds my hand, not happy as I had AA (typical lol)

Has anyone else had any issues with this software?

Can't really complain though as I finally got to a FT, which I have never done on 888. It was only a 2c buy in 60 man 6max, which is a super turbo game so can't be too nitty or you will never make the FT. I won 6c :D I will have to make sure I don't spend that all in one shop :D

Well done on that :) I started at the 60 mans for my bankroll challenge a while back they can be quite profitable if you need to build from scratch, then either the 11p 6 man or the 9 man non turbos $1.00 40 man also a great builder ;)

But yeah I have problems with the software I had to re-install 888 twice it seems to be ok now for the time being but when it crashed it would freeze up my whole laptop and would need to restart

Luckily I never had to restart the computer but the crashes are annoying, maybe I will try and re-install it and see if that works :)

With regards to the slow dealing problem, you should find you don't have any problems with the deal anymore if you turn off animation in your settings. As far as the crashes go I'm not sure what to say, I don't have those problems on mine.

Good tip on the animation loafes I'll give that a go. I regularly get locked out - I had a theory for a while that it only happened at pivotal moments like when I had KK or AA and could have tripled up. But, although this has happened several times, I've also been saved from a terminal all in or two where I would have lost to a straight. I find 888 is better on my LAN connection than wireless. And I quite like the site I won quite a few tournaments there but got bored with the all in frenzies - lost my winnings and so now only play free rolls for fun. I also have the impression far too many hands are decided on the river at 888 and I get more Ace high flushes there - but that may just be my bias.

I stopped playing at this poker room! I had it on your computer and your phone (Android) .. stopped playing because sitting at a table in a cash game - very often crashed the game and then just shut the App! I immediately ran it again, but my hand was already throw off! this is annoying! had a lot of losses because of this ridiculous game! I gave up on 888poker! I do not play there anymore!

I have Windows 7 on my laptop and no big problems with 888.
But when it starts, it freezes my computer for minute(s)...

I have this ^ same problem on mine (but with winVista). Happens for me with FTP too.

I also find that 888 is a bit of a resource hog & unfortunately I'm not able to run it if I'm playing on a few other sites at the same time.... maybe one day when I finally coin out for a new puter. Tables there are soft!

There have been lots of issues on 888. Pop ups are a nightmare and until recently they had real problems getting software that could balance the tables out. Everytime they introduce another update things seem to take a step backwards with bugs and crashes. They then sort these out and then when they do the next update the same thing happens. Loads of people are complaining about these issues. It is a pity because in general the poker software is pretty good and I enjoy playing there.

Everyone is complaining about this Daniel. The poker software will not run until all there pop ups kick in. I have seen this taking up to 2 minutes. I am on Windows 7 as well. I have emailed 888 a few times about this but all I seem to get back are generic responses which tell you nothing except how pleased they are that you play on 888.

I agree I actually like the software just wish they would sort the crashes out once and for all. I will persevere with it for now and see if things improve, I am also on win 7 :)
