Ok so I've been having some issues since this windows update. Apparently, HM needs to optimize players again but the connection keeps timing out. I have a huge database (205k players) and I'm assuming this is the problem. Basically, everytime I open up HM right now, I have to wait an hour for the optimization to time out, to even use the program. Do I have any options besides deleting a ton of hands and hoping this fixes it?

You can disable this by going into the Holdem Manager\Config folder then right click and choose "New text Document" and name it NoOpt. Next time you launch HM it should skip this process

Please update to the latest version - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/HmBetaUpdate.exe

Ok this worked but all of my hands are gone because it didn't finish optimizing.

:eek:

*Try creating a new UTF DB - FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Create / Delete Database (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/75/Create+%7B47%7D+Delete+Database)
*Now import a small portion of your \HMArchive so you can see if the problem exists in the new DB - FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: How to Import & Export Hands (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/98/How+to+Import+%26+Export+Hands)
*If the new DB seems to work properly, you will want to import the rest of your archives to the new DB, export/import the hands from the old DB to the new DB, and export/import any player notes and tourney summaries - and then delete the old DB.
*Make sure you export/backup everything before deleting the old DB

I started to export hands from the old database but after about an hour or so there were no files going into the folder I was exporting so I just forced it to quit.

If I continue to purge old hands from my database will this help the optimization process to the point where it won't time out?

The only thing I care about doing right now is finishing the optimization process and recovering the hands for my screen name only. Then I can just export those hands and begin a new database.

Try a reindex of your database via pgadmin->maintenance.

If you only need your hands you should find them in the Holdemmanager archive folder (default c:\hmarchive).
