View Full Version : HUD lag at Rush...

When I'm playing Rush Full Ring the HUD doesn't update until I'm at the flop or even later...even when I'm only playing one table.

This makes pre flop reads almost impossible.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to speed this up:

Could be the computer processing speed?
Could be the internet connection?(doubtful)
Could be the database size...huge (300,000 players).
Could be the interface between HUD and database...just guessing.

If it were the database I could do a purge and thin it out a bit.

All help much appreciated.

Which Operating System, Firewall, and Anti-Virus are you using?

Make sure windows is fully updated and change your Windows Control Panel > Regional Settings Format to English (USA).

I would suggest you do the majority of the things in this thread: http://www.holdemmanager.net/forum/showthread.php?t=11194

Some of the most important things, imo:

- Remove the WinnerName, WinnerCards and WinnerWon from the Options > Hands View Column Selection.
- Turning off logging and deleting existing logs
- Vacuum/Full/Analyze, then Reindex - http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/88/Vacuum+Analyze+Database+#manual
- Defrag last and make sure you stop the postgresql service before you defrag. I personally use Smart Defrag.
- Do a Cold Boot (Shut Down > Start) before you use HM again

Thanks for the advice.

Did a whole host of these things and the one thing that made a real difference was switching off the anti virus software.

I use ESET Smart Security and I don't know if they use a particular routine that slows things down.

The speed is still not stellar but it does mean that pre-flop reads are now possible.

For the record:

Loaded latest version of HEM
Removed the winner name etc from the hand view columns
Vacuumed/Analysed and reindexed
Defragged
Changed the power setting for the hard drive
Switched off the anti virus
Rebooted
