Still "flickering problems" with HUD

[Nekro]

Hello,
i have installed the newest version (1.09 beta 8) and still have problems with my HUD(showing 1.09.07).
HM is working fine and also the HUD is working (shows stats, updates stats ...).

The only problem is that the program is flickering. I have recorded the problem with Camtasia -> http://rapidshare.com/files/247311028/hudprob.avi.html

I dont even have to start Ongame/Stars/FT. The problem exists without the pokersoftware (means is not working without the flickering with any of them).

The problem came first after the HM Update that included the new P5 Ongame - support (1.09 ?).

Really need help, Thx - Phil

I will forward a link to this thread to the developers, so they can respond.

That is really strange. I would try uninstalling Holdem manager and reinstalling it.

[fozzy71]

Re-install Holdem Manger without losing all of my settings and preferences. (http://208.109.95.123/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=98)

I would also make sure you backup (regularly) your archived HHs and your Exported Notes file.

Wow, this was not the solution i was hoping for. :rolleyes:
If there is no other idea coming, i will have to try it next days.

Thx, Phil

Try closing HM and renaming your prefs.xml file from the Config folder. When HM launches it will create a new default one with default settings. See if the problem still happens.

If it does then also make sure your video card drivers are updated to the most recent version. This sounds unlikely but ion most of the cases with strange graphical issues a driver update resolves it

Change the prefs.xml did not help.

After long search, i think there is no new graphic driver for my notebook.

Will have to try the reinstall next days.

1. i reinstalled and tried HM - works fine!
2. i pasted the old config files, started again and ... same flickering problem
3. i pasted the new config files again - worked
4. i pasted the files one after another to find the "problem file"
... finally i found out the the "problem file" was "ExeNames.txt"

10,


I have never changed anything in this file. I only made the normal updates. So i dont no where the problem is in this file and how it was made.

But most importent is that it is working fine now.

Now i found the problem.

When i first start playing i (and i think everybody using ongame P5) have to use the table finder. Then HM asks to save this setting. If i klick "yes", then the flickering problem starts right away.
So i have to klick "no" and have to use the table finder for each table i open. This is not very comfortable.

It would be nice, if any of you guys can fix that with the next version.

Thx, Phil

I will forward your post to the developers to make sure they don't miss it.

I will forward your post to the developers to make sure they don't miss it.

Thx.

Till now nothing has changed. The problem still exists with the newest version.

i have the same problem stats flicker from tiem to time on both ftp adn stars. dont ask me to test and test thigns as i wont. i jsut switched from pt3 as i would spend a day just being their guinea pig. i will try some things if they are reasonable but i dont ahve a day to fix every simple problem i run into with this. yes i do have the latest beta also, is tehre a fix to this or will there be soon?

[netsrak]

This is a very specific problem for which we have no general solution in the moment.
You can try "Force Ontop" in the table options.

But if you are not willing to test...

[Nekro]

I think its a different problem than mine. I am willing to test and i showed you exactly where the "problem" file is (last page). I dont think that its a big problem to fix this.

[netsrak]

:) you are right Nekro. I think Mike is already working on it. My answer was only for zedjr

[Mike chops]

The problem is with the 10, at the end of the exenames.txt. Can you delete that and make it work?

[Nekro]

Yes i have tried and the Problem is the "10" at the end.

The problem is that after deleting the "10" and restarting HUD i have to use the table finder again. Then HM asks to save this setting. If i klick "yes", then the flickering problem starts right away (so the "10" was written again in the ExeNames.txt).
Now i can delete the "10" again and restart. But have to use the table finder again ... and so on ...
