For about the last 2 weeks, the tournament selector when used at full tilt is lagging. the 14 and 28 dollar super turbos now fill up and in some cases have already lost a player by the time sharkscope finds the table. this was happening so bad prior to the major updgrade that full tilt did a few months ago as to render the feature unusable on full tilt.
When the upgrade happened and sharkscope finally got back to tracking data from Full tilt, the tournament selector was working like a champ! It would find a table within 3 seconds of getting 3 ppl seated. it always managed to get the table listed under tourney selector long before it filled up. Now over the last few weeks, it is starting to drag again, not finding tables, or continuing to show tables that have long since filled up... it's almost like a buffer got filled up, and now it has to dump data to add new data...
I don't profess to understand why, all i know is it was working great, and gradually it is getting worse and worse. each day it seems to take a few seconds longer to find the table. Hopefully someone at support will read this and find what ever it is that is causing the increasingly larger lag times.
I contacted support, several times, not much success there.
There is also a persistent problem with Tournament selector on Stars. It does occasionally lag but not that often to be a major nuisance. However, what does happen is that certain tournaments seem to get stuck half way through registration so the tournament appears on tournament selector for ages after it has started. This is very annoying when it's the only tournament that pops up on Easy when you are spending a credit on a 10-50 search. So you end up paying for BS information as a result of a tracking fault. As soon as I come across one of these at a search level you have to pay for I stop using it. I would say that this happens 50% before I find a tournament to play at that level. It's obviously less of a problem for free searches as you remember which tournaments are just ghosts of a half hour old situation. So I end up playing more $10 and under tournies that I would like and using tournament selector less efficiently as it's really the higher stakes games where it pays the most dividends. If these "ghosts of tournaments past" could be avoided it would make it a much more useful tool.
I haven't noticed the same problem on Cereus although I have used tournament selector a lot less on there.
hopefully someone from support will read and respond to this.
the tournament selctor is grossly lagging. it renders the feature useless. it doesn't find games until they are filled up... it worked very poorly like it is now before the last major update at full tilt. sharkscope went away for a few weeks, and when it came back for full tilt, the tourney selector worked like it never had before. everything was coming up in seconds. search again and it would add players as quickly as they hit the tables. really within a second or two it added each player... now it can't even find table...
what's up...
why will no one from support answer this?
why does support not reply to emails...
I am not being #%%^& with anyone, i just want someone to see if they can address this and make it work like it was a few months ago.
come on!
