Hi all,

For those on PS that want to continue playing without the Aurora graphics I found the following fix on the Hold Em Manager forum:
The way to start the client with old graphics:

1. Delete files from the folder C:\Users*USERNAME*\AppData\Local\PokerStars\ImgCac he
2. Launch the client through the launcher or PokerStars.exe from the client folder.

can someone try this and confirm it works (from starshelper forum)


confirmed works

I just did it myself and it worked without any issues (playing on Windows 10). I'm not sure if this step will need to be repeated each time the clients restarted or not, but it's a pretty quick step either way.

Note: Obviously try this at your own risk, I don't know if there are any implications to this fix beyond the graphics themselves.

It worked once , I closed and relaunched the client and the new graphics engine was running by default. No matter what thanks!

Just to confirm, the first time you did the fix it worked, but after you restarted the client it was stuck in Aurora? This would be good to know so I (and others) can just leave the client running to avoid the reset.

Yes , exactly!So you need to delete the files every time.

We need a coder to write a program that will do this for us. It should only be a few lines of code.
