I like the new engine and use it but it is quite heavy for old machines. I hope that it will be optimized in future because otherwise players with older machines will have problems.

If the window does not open, you can try to tick the graphical settings of the table

I don't have any similar images either. what's different? if possible, make two or three screens with changes to understand the difference.

It's horrible. In this engine, statistical programs do not work, in addition, it creates a number of difficulties for older machines. If the choice between the “old” and “new” engine disappears, poker stars will lose some of their customers. When I started the poker client, I received a message that I needed to update the video drivers, but all my drivers were fine. This is a big drawback, and if it were not possible to choose the old engine, I would leave poker.

I would have liked to see Pokerstars investing money into something useful like optimising the App for more devices before wasting it on cosmetic BS like graphics.

I have it for months now in my options but had to deactivate it.. my computer can't support the new graphics engine.. same with 888, had to come back to old graphics.. PCF, Red32same thing.. but they can't be changed to a basic graphic engine so I just can't play..

No question to buy another computer to play poker. I'll just swipe my bankroll somewhere else or stop when it will become impossible.

I'm not sure at 100% but I think they don't have the choice.. looks like all the poker sites are all switching for the same new graphics engine.. probably a new standard soon for running a poker site.. I suspect ACR to use it also in the new software, but they found a way to control the damages to the computer usage..

For me the new engine do not make any problems with the functionality of holdem manager. I use holdem manager 3 latest beta. Graphics are much better now. When i play just one table i like to switch it to full screen so that the experience is better and more immersive. With the old engine if you try to switch the table to full screen resolution is really bad and graphics are so ugly that i do not like it at all. With the new engine graphics are good even at full screen. For me the "computer game" aspect of the poker is also important so i like the change.

Best option for stars would be to retain the possibility to use the old engine if you have problems with the new one or maybe to release two versions of the client - lite with the old engine and full with the new engine. We will see what they will decide to do.

One final note - the new engine option may still not be available in all markets as it is still in testing stage. I read somewhere that they plan to implement it globally around the end of the year.

This, I have to give it to you, compared to old engine, I saw them in HD in a large screen and it can't be compared..

It looks like a tendency for all poker sites to change for this engine and new one to start with it.. it's the same 888 are using... if it's only for the VR and they took the opportunity to create a new client with it, they can probably do both.. but if it becomes a standard in poker site operations, that can be a problem to run 2 clients.. I think the plan to implement it is more the one followed.

It consumes quite alot more battery due to more gpu/cpu usage, unfortunately...

I assume they will be fine-tuning it!

Looks great though!

New engine is available since it was introduced and i think that by default it is now enabled in both pc and mobile client. In mobile client (android is what i use) in fact it works great and i do not see any increased load on the phone (heat) or worse battery life compared with the old engine. Graphics also on mobile is much better now. I encountered several bugs in the early versions with tournaments not loading or wrong time zones but they were fixed relatively quickly.

PC client is more of a mixed bag. Most skins (in fact all except saloon) have cosmetic improvements compared with the old engine and the new engine uses much more intensively the graphics card. This applies if you play normally in window mode and not full screen. If you play full screen on full hd or 4K display it is clearly visible that the new engine scales much better (old one was very ugly when stretched on full screen). Generally i like the new engine
and at full screen (especially on saloon theme) it shows its capabilities. In my case i play on gaming laptop so increased load is not problem but if pokerstars want more people to like the new engine they need to optimize it so that it works well with integrated GPUs from AMD and Intel which the majority of users use today.

Hi the ALL! This is, of course, very interesting... But I'm prefer the themes tables, where less colors and graphics, that nothing
not interfered the Game! But this is only my private opinion. Or as they say: "Each is his own!" Main the everybody Good Luck
for the tables! And not important what beautiful colors and wonderful graphics they have!;):D
