ACR Timeouts

[SouthBayPokerTour]

How many of you experience connection losses and forced sit outs for no reason on ACR and BlackChip (WPN network). I'll admit I don't have the best WiFi ever but I don't have this issue on ignition or Carbon. Also many times, someone else at the table is timing down from 80 with a red X over there avatar which I can only assume is a loss of connection for that player. Is it just me?
Thanks, Slick

Its not just u. It happens all the time and is a known issue but seems like they wont fix it.

Part of the reasons why i would never play there for meaningfull money nor would i recommend them to anyone but my worst enemies.

Someone on 2+2 wrote it helps to keep the lobby up and not minimize it. U could try that, i did not test it by now since i almost never play there.

Thanks, I always keep the lobby up on a different monitor.
Appreciate the response, Slick

I always play from my laptop, but even then disconnections are more common than on pokerstars, at least from my limited experience.

I play from my laptop as well. I do lose the connection at times, but it could be our internet provider. When that happens I'm able to connect to a hotspot on my phone. That's been enourmously helpful. Someone on the forums here suggested it to me a while ago, and I use it all the time.

I also often lost the connection on ACR, I rarely have this problem with PS or GG, I think they don't have a server near my place.

I'm also having this connection problem in ACR, but I rarely can't play the hand

Connection problems at ACR is a common problem I see . At first I thought it was my WiFi , but nope , it seems everyone is experiencing similar problems

ACR Mobile is a nightmare as sb said above
Disconnections all the time
Switching between Apps and going back to ACR mobile , only to see you have been disconnected, again .... Sh**

You have disconnections on Pokerstars? I never disconnect on Stars...ever. (but I never disconnect on A.C.R., GGPoker, 888Poker, partypoker, TitanPoker.. even when having them all running simultaneously).

I ALWAYS play hard-wired to the internet... never via wifi.

I also use CAT8 Ethernet Cable

Many, many years ago I would occasionally struggle on some of the sites (ie Partypoker) I can't recall the last time I've had a disconnect. For sure not for the past 4years... but maybe closer to 10.

A.C.R. is definitely a HUGE resource hog though. It takes more CPU to run ACR than it does to run 4 other sites at once.

I don't know if it can even be classified as a disconnection problem as it sometimes happens at some tables on ACR but not others.

Another weird thing that happens to me when playing on ACR is when I click on something else whether it be a browser or the tournament lobby and then go back to the poker tables - when it's my turn to act everything running on my PC pops up over my table(s) And I have to minimize them. And it keeps happening - thankfully I can just move everything (browser tournament lobby, client lobby, etc) over to my other monitor so it doesn't get in the way.
