I can't get my HUD to work on America's Cardroom cash tables.
Does anyone here have this working or experience the same problem?
:confused:

I have HM and I can't get it to work on any WPN site.

I don't have HM2; are they even compatible on HM2?

Yeah I finally got it working late last night. I dont know much about HM1 but I solved my problem by manually adding the import folder location.
I had to to a bit of searching on their forum and one of the Mods got back to me today with a link.

I would search around a bit ans see if you can find something, let me know what you find.

Last I played at WPN, HM2 HUD did not work. Supposedly they were working on it, but I've not checked in awhile although I do keep HM2 up-to-date. I wouldn't look for HM1 to ever support it, or anything else that requires code changes beyond perhaps a tweak to a HH parser. HM1 is considered obsolete and end-of-life by the company.

PT4 works well....:eek:
"Well" is a stretch. It works better than HM2, sure, in that a HUD comes up. But it's not very reliable, and that's not PT4's fault as much as it is WPN's (and why HM2 hasn't been able to easily get WPN working either, I imagine). WPN doesn't put enough information in the HH to keep the HUD straight, especially for tournaments & SNGs. I've suggested a method to mitigate this several times, but PT doesn't think it's worth the effort to support, apparently. I think they're holding out for WPN to fix their HH, which is obviously the preferred solution, but if it were my software package I'd be making the relatively simple modification I suggested to distance myself from my competitor by better supporting one of the few US-facing networks out there. But that's a soapbox of mine and a subject for another thread (that's been done already, LOL).

I didnt think I was gonna get it working but I had to mess around with it, I also had to add or select my player name before my hands showed up in the lobby (active session).
Currently working as expected to I hope it lasts.

Yeah I might have spoken to soon (I know better than to say stupid stuff like "mine works great weeee" only to have it crash and burn moments later).
For what ever reason my huds just started moving around randomly and just being jumbled up.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was talking about. The tracker can't keep up with where to position the HUD because of a lack of data in the HH information.

The HUD sucks on there, though I've noticed that if you don't move seats after sitting, it will usually stay on course. But with that said, I have to seat myself in the same spots on all tables so its useless for me. But yeah for anyone with PT4 you can just stay wherever you were sat by default and it should keep up pretty well.

well think that if there shows a lot of traffic in winning network.
major software provider would consider provide support for that poker room.

think that is the key would be -- not one or two of the single player suggest or not, but the key shall be a majority of the HM2 or PT4 buyers shows potential demand , to use HM2 or PT4 well, in winning network.
else, would not expect anything better.

I'm not certain I understand the point you're trying to make, but if it's that customer demand drives innovation and priorities when it comes to software support, I'll agree.

At the risk of talking out of both sides of my mouth, though, the issue is that this is ultimately a problem for WPN to fix, not the trackers.

Yes I did suggest a somewhat "manual" step (only a single manual step per table) that a player could use to mitigate the problem, and I think a solid developer could knock this out in pretty short order. But then again there aren't a lot of players that will demand that and it's admittedly a less than ideal hack that they would have to spend some capital to implement instead of waiting to do it the right way when WPN fixes their problems.

Plus WPN's total player liquidity (the vast majority of which don't use trackers) is so minimal compared to other sites they support that I can understand how it doesn't justify prioritizing much time and resources for the tracker companies to pursue.
