I have been having problems with Cake crashing on me. Specifically when I try to multi table. Sometimes when I am playing on one cash table and attempt to open another, the new table appears as a black screen (almost frozen.)

Is anyone else having any issues with cake?

My tables don't crash. But I haven't had a Cake poker patch apply successfully in months. It gets stuck in an infinite loop of download, install, install fail, download...

Every time I need to go to the website and re-download/install.

Maybe I will try redownloading. Could it have anything to do with PT?

It freezes up on me if I'm in a tournament on final table bubble & have both tables opened up... when bubble pops, it inevitably freezes (both tables still show up on screen, both frozen with all players seated except for myself... seem to get lost in cyberspace).

It's also done simliar stuff when I've had multiple sites open but not a real lot lately.

glad i never downloaded the 2.0 version..sites like colt and aip that are 2.0 version run like crud on my puter.lags really bad and if multi tabling might as well give up..one thing that might help is re-download about once a month and it does help or atleast for me it does....have no idea why?

Sorry for your trouble but glad you posted this. Was tempted to download the latest version 2 and check out the claimed massive improvements.... guess I will stick with the old version 1. The lobby doesn't work half the time but at least I rarely get a table lockup

Find the 1.1 version the 2.0 version is just flawed seriously.

You all talk like we have a choice. I thought the updates just loaded automatically. I have no idea which version I have. But it just updated again this morning. None of these updates seem to fix the crappy lobbies. My biggest problem is that I often don't make a table change in a tournament. I wait awhile and then have to go to the lobby and hit "take my seat" to get on the new table.

pt=paltalk??...I had so much trouble with paltalk conflicting and crashing that I no longer use it...you might see if you have the trouble with paltalk off.

You do have a choice download the 1.1 version then do not upgrade when it asks.You will have no problems with it. it also only takes about 10 seconds to open and close. If you try to close the 2.0 version it just keeps running. It is seriously flawed.

Only problem I have with Cake is registering. It sometimes takes 2 or 3 times before I can register with passwords. Sometimes I need to close it and reopen.

If your Cake table and lobby look the same as it always has you are still on version 1. When I was originally offered version 2 I downloaded it into a separate directory so I wouldnt lose version 1. Opened version 2... played one game and never reopened it again. Personal opinion UGH!!!!

Don't have crashing problems but I do have a major problem. Sometimes I won't be seated to a registered tournament. I have to exit Cake and start it up again and I'm seated. Not good.

Yeah, I have to really pay attention to the games I am registered for, so I don't forget about a tournament entirely.
