Mercury69 3 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 This is exactly the same crap I've been dealing with for a month or so now. Yesterday, I played in a $5 tourney, NO DISCONNECTS! I decide it's looking good to use the Grand Prix ticket I won on Friday and what happens?!?! YES! Disconnect city. Must have disconnected 10 times in the first 50 minutes. By that time, I was frazzled, irritated, pi$$ed, whatever you want to call it. Went all-in on some frickin' hand and got rivered, so WTF!?!?! Is it worth the aggravation?!?! No. I'm not on dial-up, either, so save your non-hetero little flames for someone who is. I sent an e-mail with screenshots to Support, didn't even bother looking for a response, even though they're pretty quick, because I have a feeling they don't know that their coding is effed up on MTT's.This is total BS.PS: I also played in Frenzy at 7PM EST. Yes, more BS disconnects, a couple of them causing me to lose hands and one of them effing up my Add-on. I was doing well enough to survive for another hour or so, BUT I DON'T LIKE HAVING TO RECONNECT EVERY TWO FREAKING HANDS. DO YOU HEAR ME>!>! Link to post Share on other sites
Bigbossfan 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 I really think that FCP better get their software issues resolved. They are going to lose alot of credibility within the Poker community, and they will most definetly lose out on some business.Its a shame, I like to play there because I like the fact it's sponsored by DN. But I'm not willing to pull whatever hair I have left to keep dealing with the frustrations! Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I would love to know what the problem is regarding these disconnects. I have been playing on Pokerroom since Sept 04 and FCP since the beginning and have not run into any real problems with disconnects. Not saying that people are not getting disconnected, it is quite obvious there is a large issue going on but I am curiuos what the cause is. As I see some people say it is because of 56K and/or Macs and I will say that I play on Mac and have DSL and have had no problems whatsoever with PR or FCP. It is unfortunate that this is a huge issue and for the sake of FCP I hope it gets rectified. Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyJoe 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 seems to me that the problems happen when it's JUST FCP tourney, not pokerroom or a network-wide tournament. Link to post Share on other sites
qu2r 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Is this true? I found PokerRoom to be a laggy and disconnect-happy place which is the primary reason I left it for UB a couple of years ago (PR was my first site). I've come back to it lately for particular timing/buyin reasons, and FCP's issues seem identical. In my case it seems like something is 'filling up'. the site will lag more and more until it's unusable and I run screaming through the house. Restarting usually fixes it, and then refraining from having any other window open seems to keep it at bay (WinXp, DSL broadband on wireless LAN). It's annoying at PR and at FCP. I limit myself to one open window on either now, and it mostly behaves. during Boo Ya, it behaved for whole tourny, even with a UB and PP tournament open while playing from basement (worse wireless connection). I count myself lucky I guess. Pretty interface, but annoying behavior. -q Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I have been multi-tabling at PR for a couple years with no hassle and even on 56K for part of it.I also only play FCP events on FCP and everything else using my pokerroom account and client. So that isn't it. I played in the Boo ya tourney for about 1hr and 30 min and never had one single hiccup whereas half the field was getting screwed on their connection. Maybe it is the dl client? I use the java since I am on a Mac. I wonder if that might be the problem. Link to post Share on other sites
Bigbossfan 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Nope, tried both the dl client and the java...same thing. Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyJoe 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 seems to me that the problems happen when it's JUST FCP tourney, not pokerroom or a network-wide tournament.ok, maybe i'm wrong, just said that, because i have played a few MTT's on FCP that were network-wide and never had any trouble at all.
