Re: TGC Software Upgrade

I don't suppose there's any chance we'll be able to grab histories of hands played before the new rollout, is there? We zooers have already played hundreds, if not thousands, of hands at TGC we'd love to include in our PT database.

For the initial release you will unfortunately be limited to the past couple of weeks. Due to the obviously heavy data volumes, data older than that is moved to an archive server, so it's still available, but the hand history software won't be able to access that data in real-time for the initial release.
We've already spoken to Prima about making the archive data available too, and we'll report back on this when we have feedback.

I looked at the bug fixes list, and I didn't see the issue that was changed at Royal Vegas Poker
...
So, my question is, does Royal Vegas Poker get different versions of the software updates, or did you miss this in your list?

We were offered the same update as a "quick fix" while a properly revamped interface is being worked on, but we declined because the changes offered didn't really solve the problems that have been raised.
For example, the advance action buttons remain too small, and the bet slider hasn't really changed at all.
The main reason we declined this "upgrade", however, was that we felt the same way as you about the moving of the main action buttons:

The buttons appear over the table, I don't think it's better than the earlier placement.

Since the advance action buttons remain where they were previously (i.e. bottom right corner of the screen), the player has to continuously move their mouse back and forth if they want to use both sets of buttons. This just seemed way to irritating to us.
As far as we are aware, the motivation for this change came from RV themselves, i.e. it wasn't Prima's idea, and we believe that Prima had the sames misgivings about this change as we did, but they agreed to do it since it was a small job to pull off.
We've been in quite involved discussion with them concerning how the software should change, which we hope will lead to far more than just superficial changes like this. It won't be quick unfortunately, but we're hoping to be able to bring something out in Q1 of next year.
btw, as far as we are aware the moving of the buttons is the only difference between our upgrade and RV's.
