My pokerstars is crashing all the time on my Mac. I don't understand why this is happening, I tried updating my mac, because I thought thy problem might be my OS, but to this point the problem stays the same. Actually, even before I updated it to Catalina the problem was the same, it would crash once every twenty minutes. Anyone else with the same problem?

Same here.
Especially with the Aurora graphics engine. Also weird bugs like when trying to type my bet amount the slider slides to all-in no matter which key I press. The new engine also makes my fan go crazy. Without the engine I also have random crashes though, even in the middle of playing a hand.

I find it usually crashes when I log out, which obviously is not a big deal, but still a little worrisome. It virtually never crashes when I'm in the middle of playing. I don't use Aurora graphics and always update my Mac OS. I'm on Catalina 10.15.6 right now.

Hi Rowdy,
I am on the same MacBook Pro OS as you and I too am crashing out of PokerStars. Sometimes it happens in the middle of a game - the worst. Most often the situation is not critical, but it is annoying.
I always get a message that a report has been sent to somewhere (Apple maybe?), and I can then restart with no problem.
Nice to know I have company with this problem. Let's hope it gets corrected.
Next time, I will try and grab the error report and send it off to PokerStars, in case they can help fix it.

Yep - some of those bugs happen to me too.
Another one - If I open the hand replayer, the cursor no longer works right on the buttons, but has to be hovered near the top or even above the buttons/icons. What a pain that is.
