as didnt see this thread.

Basicaly HUD isnt working after beta update and it show duplicate hands.

If I want to back up my database I started to do individual backups on 3 databases but they save as the same name.

Is it best to
1) backup the last database and export hands from all 3 hands
2) restore the database I backed up then import the 3 sets of exports back into the database

Forgot to add do I copy the HM2Archive folder and import that as well

Me again Sorry, I tried using the table finder, but It was saying no table active, and thus couldn't find a table, even though I was sitting down at that exact table that I was looking for.

As for the other suggestion about increasing logs, I also did that, but than, this odd problem was happening when I did that, and the Issue was that the normal games (I mean the other games), buy-in games and other free rolls weren't being imported into HM2 nor was the HUD even coming up when I did that, so than I had too keep everything back too the way It was and thus, I'm still having the same Issue I was having, when I first told you about this problem.

In the following snip Is from the replayer from HM2 and the table that I'm currently at, as you'll see the HUD doesn't appear on the table but the hands are being imported Into HM2

I haven't tried playing a freebuy this series but will give it a try later today. In general we can't support a HUD on these special series due to their unique table names and the way our HUD works so if the Table Finder doesn't help there isn't much you or we can do. If the HUD isn't working on their normal cash/tourney tables please follow the instructions above to email us logs/files so we can assist.

Please update to the latest beta version - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/Holdem_Manager_2_Beta.exe

You can give each backup a unique name instead of the default. It defaults to a name with today's date so just change the name accordingly so all 3 save. I would backup all 3 to be safe but if all 3 are showing these duplicate hands they may all be corrupted and not restore properly. I would try restoring the largest of the 3 and if no duplicates appear like in your screen shot on our forums then you can import the exported hands from the other 2 databases and your hm2archive folder to be sure you get any hands imported that might not be in your backup of the largest database.

For the problem shown in your screen shot, if it appears in the restored database:

Please try to vacuum/analyze and reindex your database - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/5/Database+Manager+(Ribbon)#maintenance

If you continue to have problems, try the following:

Try creating a new DataBase and import a small portion of your \HM2Archive so you can see if the problem exists in the new DB - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/que...w+database+and+import+previously+played+hands

If the new database seems to work properly, it sounds like your database might be corrupt. This is why regular backups are a good idea. If your database becomes corrupt you can restore a backup and only have to import the most recent hands (that were played after the backup was created) and edit any tournament results if necessary.

Here is a FAQ explaining how to backup your database and all settings in one easy step - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/que...tore+Database,+Settings+and+HUD+configs+work?

If none of the above steps helped please zip and email the problem hand histories. If you have a large sample just send us a small sample which you can reproduce the problems with. Please include a link to the relevant thread if you posted this in the forums and send it to hm2support@holdemmanager.com

All original hands that are auto-imported get moved to an archive for performance reasons. Your \HM2Archive is in C:\HM2Archive by default, but you may have put it anywhere. The archive should be organized by \Month\DayOfMonth (example: D:\HM2Archive\2009\07\31) or if it was auto-imported with v7283+ it would be in \HM2Archive\SiteName\YYYY\MM\DD.

When sending any hand history files please zip them (right-click > send to > compressed folder) before attaching them to an email. If the attachment is too big to attach to an email please upload them to a file hosting site like dropbox or filedropper and send us the download link.

Yesterday I tried to backup the Main database but it took ages so had to stop it at midnight last night.

I did a backup ealier today but selected skip database (only backup configs) and also exported all hands form the databases earlier.

I have just restored the backup (skip database i did earlier) can I just import all the hands I exported earlier and also hands from HM2Archive.

 

[rhombus]

the backup i restored, I have just tried to import some hands into it but not sure whats wrong it says files imported 5525 but hands says 0 ?????

Ive updated to the beta link you provided earlier but still have the yellow triangle on Site Setup for pokerstars which says, no hands imported with recent settings

 

[rhombus]

Please update to the latest beta version - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/Holdem_Manager_2_Beta.exe

For the problem shown in your screen shot, if it appears in the restored database:

Please try to vacuum/analyze and reindex your database - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/5/Database+Manager+(Ribbon)#maintenance

now using version 8376
Gone into maintenance and selected the first option Vacuum all tables

Still NO HUD and Table finder shows nothing.
Theres a text file in C:\Users\****\AppData\Local\PokerStars.UK\HandHistory\ with the game i am playing and the report still shows duplicated hand although the top part shows 0 for everything

 

[rhombus]

Weird thing is when I close HEM and reopen none of the hands appear but it shows the number of hands at the bottom, in first pic it was 238 hands now 200 so may have took out the duplicates when I reopened but no hands are showing ?????

 

[HoldemManager]

Your postgresql installation may be damaged if that is happening in new databases you manually import hands to.

Make sure windows is fully updated until 'No New Important Updates are Found' (this may require multiple restarts and multiple 'check for updates'), including Internet Explorer (even if you use a different web browser).

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.

2) Delete the \PostgreSQL\X.x\data folder that is left behind.

3) Delete the sub-folder(s) in c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\HoldemManager\Database (XP - c:\documents and settings\username\application data\HoldemManager\Database).

4) run the command - start > programs > accessories > command prompt > right-click > run as administrator

net user postgres /delete

After you click 'Enter' for the code above also do that same for this code:

sc delete postgresql-8.4

and click 'Enter' again.

5) Restart your PC

6) Install PostgreSQL 9.0 or 9.2 from postgresql.org

7) Once installed you should disable the postgresql logging as instructed here - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/1121/Large+Log+Files

Now try and import some original hands before you restore anything like player/hand notes.

this happened when i installed the 1st beta (think it was so 8370) would that affect the postgres part.

Yesterday after Fulltilt Poker was doing the same I copied the backups in C:\Users\****\AppData\Roaming\HoldemManager\Database

uninstalled HEM completely then

deleted everything in the C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\HoldemManager folder including a log file which was 11GB then reinstalled 8364_HoldemManager2Setup

with a new database it was still duplicating hands but when i repopened HEM2 it just showed the hands I played and wouldnt import hands, just import files but no hands.

 

[rhombus]

just done system restore to before i updated to the beta version, when it restored and i tried to open holedmmanager i got the popup below about some installation folders are missing so I reinstalled and create a new database with the wizard when it installed.

Still the same no table finder and duplicate hands but the date at the top says 31/12/999 23:59,

Guess I'll try the Postgres problem to see if that fixes it

Make sure windows is fully updated until 'No New Important Updates are Found' (this may require multiple restarts and multiple 'check for updates'), including Internet Explorer (even if you use a different web browser).
All Updates are done

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
Uninstalled PostgresSQL8.4
2) Delete the \PostgreSQL\X.x\data folder that is left behind.
Deleted C:\postgreSQL\data which was 11.3GB
There is also a folder called C:\PostgreSQL-prev-2013-11-Oct-00-36-09 do I need to delete that as well

3) Delete the sub-folder(s) in c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\HoldemManager\Database (XP - c:\documents and settings\username\application data\HoldemManager\Database).
I deleted the 2 new ones I created with the wizard HoldemManager21 and HoldemManager22, the other databases I have previously cut and pasted into MYDOCS in case i need them later

4) run the command - start > programs > accessories > command prompt > right-click > run as administrator

net user postgres /delete
The command completed successfully.

After you click 'Enter' for the code above also do that same for this code:

sc delete postgresql-8.4

and click 'Enter' again.
got error [SC] OpenService FAILED 1060:
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

5) Restart your PC
Restarted PC

6) Install PostgreSQL 9.0 or 9.2 from postgresql.org

Downloaded postgresql-9.2.13-3-windows.exe (they also have 9.3.9 and 9.4.4)
From http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgdownload#windows

Installed for the options is it
password postgrespass
Port 5432
locale [default locale]

Stackbuilder was ticked at the end I didnt install as it askd for other stuff

7) Once installed you should disable the postgresql logging as instructed here - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/1121/Large+Log+Files

done will restart later

Now try and import some original hands before you restore anything like player/hand notes.

Please reproduce the problem and:
- Use the tool in the following link to send a HUD Report - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/2821/HUD+Reporting+Tool

i am dropping by to say that HM sucks big time. it doesn't work the way it's supposed to. very buggy overall. terrible UI/UX.

i have used PT trial for a month and was very happy with it. now trying HM trial for about 10 days and i can't wait to get back to PT.

it does however have some nice features but it's just that the overall experience was very bad compared to PT.

How do i organize where i want each hud to go on hm cloud

How do i organize where i want each hud to go on hm cloud

Are you having a seating issue? Or is it the placement around a seat?

You can adjust the seat by clicking the chair by your name if the HUD is not at your seat.

To move the HUD around to where it better suits your table layout, right-click a stat and drag it.
