Default Re: How do you deal with the laggy/incorrect PP skins lobby?

ok, i actually know the answer to this one, which i have had confirmentd by emprire vip support:

The lobby only updates when it is the currently selected window on your desktop. So, when you are running a set, the lobby window , while open, is not selected. As such, it does not update for you. That is why after killinga set, and going back to the lobby, it is still showing tables as "registering" that were in fact filling when you sat at your last table, often from 40 minutes ago.

So...when you get back to lobby, just click to bring that lobby window to the forefront, and wait for 3 seconds. It will update the quick.

Those who have said to try such voodoo superstitions as clicking/unclicking "hide full tables", or popping back and forth between BI levels, well, they are correct int he sence that this does bring up a lobby update, but not for the reasons they believe. In doing that, they are simply selceting the lobby as active window. The lobby will update just as fast for them, but the methods they use are doing nothing but wear out the left mouse button.
