I play 6max NL rushpoker and always 3 tables at a time.
The HUD shows up only on 1 or 2 tables, but never on all 3.

I have tried restarting the hud several times.
I use the TILE-option with FTP software.

What version of Holdem Manager are you using?

Have you tried these tips?



1) The tables need to be sized appropriately. (600 - 750 range) If your Rush table is outside of that range a pop-up message in the HUD window will advise you.

2) Make sure your HUD doesn't overlap names on the table. We're using a screen scrape method for various reasons and the names must be visible so we can read them. Also go to FTP Lobby > Languages > Language Options and make sure they are set to English

3) Most performance issues can be resolved by changing the table window size even by a small amount.See #1 and make sure you have the rush update installed http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/HmUpdateRush.exe

4) Make sure English is selected in the language menu in full tilt

5) Test the Hud out on a normal table first to verify its working

6) Dont use any Aero or other windows themes, change it to the default xp/vistawin7 theme

XP Windows XP: Use Windows XP in "Classic view" (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/personalize/classic.mspx)
Vista Change the desktop theme (http://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/windowsvista/theme.aspx)
Win7
Windows 7 Switching Desktop Themes in Windows 7: Changing the Windows Aero Theme With Two Easy Methods (http://pc-tutorials.suite101.com/article.cfm/switching_desktop_themes_in_windows_7)

7) Turn Cleartype Off

Windows 7 Turn Off ClearType — MAXIMUMpcguides – Windows 7 tips, tricks, help, and how-to guides (http://maximumpcguides.com/windows-7/turn-off-cleartype/)

8) Turn Avatars off in Full Tilt go to Options and untick Avatars

9) Switch between Classic and Racetrack in FT by going to Options > Table View

10) If you are using graphics mods you need to restore the default FTP graphics.

FTP Graphics Restore (http://www.fozzypokermods.com/ftprestore.html)

You should be able to use the Selective Restore Package and install the BasePods Classic and BasePods RaceTrack so that HMHUD can properly read the names from the basepod. The area around the player name text must be the default colors of Black or White.

11) Reduce number of tables

12) Please give HoldemManager Administrator rights -

1) Go to C:\Program Files\RVG Software\Holdem Manager (Program Files (x86) if you have the 64bit version)
2) Rightclick the HoldemManager.exe and choose "Properties".
3) Go to the Compatibility Tab and select "Run this program as an Administrator".
4) Do the same for HMHud.exe and DBControlPanel.exe


Cheers

I am using 1.10.06. Is the rush-update needed for the version i am using?
I do use a colour theme in windows XP and also have modified the graphics for FT, but these are things that i am not going to change. So if one of these two reasons are causing the conflict, then i guess i'll have to manage with the HUD showing only on one or two tables out of three.

No, that RushUpdate is old. You want to be using the latest version 1.10.06a.

Please reproduce the problem and post a screen shot - Capture a Screen Shot of your Desktop or the Active Window in Windows (http://graphicssoft.about.com/cs/general/ht/winscreenshot.htm)

To attach it to a thread in the forums, look below the post reply button when you start a new thread and you'll see a manage attachments button. Click this and attach the file.


It is possible to use modified graphics as long as the basepod colors around the player name and stack information remains the same default colors (Black/White). You may be able to just install the default basepods or possibly customize your mod's basepods with the default colors.

Here is an example of some modified basepods that will work with the OCR in the HUD:

I hope these screenshots help...
As you see i use two monitors and a shared desktop. I forgot to mention that earlier, hope it doesn't matter :)

I had to hide my nickname from the pictures.

I guess it's 90% of the time the top right screen is without the HUD stats and rest of the time the bottom screen...

The first screenshot is done using the Print Scrn-button and for the second, i used ALT+Print Scrn

Did you try the tables on both monitors?

Are you using a 32 bit color resolution for your graphics?

I think i just found the solution:
I have started the Auto-Import first, but now i tried starting the tables first and playing a few hands and then start the autoimport and now the HUD shows on every table...

Strange but thanks for the feedback.
I'll forward it to my colleagues as information too.

I'm not sure why, but opening the tables one at a time, letting the HUD start on each one before opening the other seems to work. If I open all 4 tables at once, I seem to get issues on a couple of the tables.
