Newbie post, First time on Party

Hi Guys, First post so please be gentle [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I've recently opened an account with party after playing the Cryptos, but seem to be having a couple of problems and was wondering whether these are common.

1, The buttons seem to disappear every now and then for no apparent reason [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

2, There seems to be no consistancy in how much time I get given to make a decision, I seem to get anywhere between 5 and 20 seconds. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Partys support seems to be spectacularly useless.
If anyone has any Ideas I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks

Asmodean? Interesting name. Does the acronym WOT mean anything to you?

Thanks, I'm glad its not just me! Just cleared the bonus so I'll sign up for Empire next.

TaoTe: Yes [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img], It started off as a great series I just hope the next one isn't as much of a chore to read as the last one.

I also hope that it is a good book. Still, Crossroads of Twlight has left me doubting =(.

Knife of Dreams should be great. I can't wait for October.

FWIW I play on Party a lot and have never experienced these problems.

I've seen some graphical weirdness but minimizing and then remaximizing the window usually fixes it all up. I'm using the chiplitre.com modification to get rid of the dealer and chairs so I have a cleaner look, so that could be part of it.

I've not experienced the time to act issue you're seeing. Usually you get a bit of time, say 10 seconds, then a 15 second warning and then you're folded. However, if your network connection disconnects you get more time for the connect to reestablish and then act. That time does seem to vary a bit.

Regards,

T

sounds like sowtware trouble. delete the software and download and re-install it, that should do the trick.
