PV .95 Released

[gusly]

I play mostly SNGs and a few MTTs now and then, and ring games only when clearing bonuses.

Last month after you said PV should work for my tourney needs, I checked it out, and so far it has been great, aside from an occasional hiccup.

This new release is non-functional for me at SNG tables; the stats that I track are almost all corrupted. What really sucks is that I can't downgrade to a previous release that works.

I posted my problems on the PV support forum and suggested that it might be an option to recompile the previous release with a different expiration date for us folks that can't use the new release.

I did get an answer re my problems, which was that tourney support is not officially implemented yet, and that we just have to be patient. But I haven't yet had a response to my suggestion that we be allowed to use a recompiled .94 release.

I really hope you guys give this serious thought. I'm sure you'll get around to fixing tourney support, but I'm already hooked on the product and it's really hard to just give it up cold turkey for an indefinite amount of time.

Its not as simple as all that you've gotta understand that

a) I don't get most of these problems so they are hard to diagnose

b) I don't have a pokertracker database with tourney stats

I don't even think I can mine tourney stats either so I can't test crap I have to just poke around with things and release them and let people test them. Its a huge pain.

The thing also is I didn't even touch the tourney code so I don't know why this is all of a sudden an issue.

I don't know much if anything at all about programming, but I know what you're doing is definitely not simple. You're putting together a really kickass product, and my hat's off to you.

I don't know anything about how you divide your ring game and tourney coding, but I think the fact that my problem got reversed could be a significant clue. Before, the normal state was that the PFR% was fine for everybody at the table except one player, and now the normal state is that the PFR% is corrupted for everybody at the table except one player. The "odd man out" effect happens after every 3rd or 4th stats update.

As far as not having a tourney database, I can send you some tourneys, and I'm sure others who have this problem would be happy to help also.

I hope I didn't sound too cranky in my previous post. It was just a bit disconcerting to suddenly be playing without PV. I look forward to being able to use it again.

In the meantime... my skin is crawling and my head hurts. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Today is the first day I haven't played poker in about six weeks. I miss my PlayerView and I WANT IT BACK. NO ONE NEEDS TO BE HURT.

MY NaN comment in the VP$P field is with one table S&G's. Which during the previous versions was shown like the other data. This is the only field which seems corrupted. The others are fine.

I can't wait to pay for a stable copy with all the dootads you guys have put in. I'm sure that I will complain about the high price, but I will gladly pay.

Guys you have done great so far, but dig in and get my VP$P stat back.


Thank you.

MS good luck with this.I feel bad for Amir because he's created such a great product that when it goes down for any amount of time or has some problems the heavy users go into serious withdrawal.

Once I get home and install the new version, I shall be making a donation, and we should encourage everyone else to do so. Even if it is only $10, I think we owe it to them. The alternative could be to wait till version 1 to make a donation.

Out of interest amirpc, how many downloads do you get for each new release? how many people are actually using this thing? I figure it most be quite high by now.

This would help immensley if you would be willing to send me enough of a tourney db that I could test with it.

Edit - See my sticky post in the support forum of the PV forums: http://www.playerview.net

I'm looking for someone to spend a few hours debugging the SNG problems over AIM with me. I'll be sending you test executables and you give them a shot and let me know if it works or not basically.

My AIM name is l0lnix. I'm home all night.
