    Default MUST use preferred seating?

    It seems that the only way to "lock in" HUD player positions is to use preferred seating. Is that the case?
    HM1 remembers HUD positions regardless of which seat you are in.

    I've played in a few sites that don't use it. But if you use it on the client, you have to use it in hm

    I never use preferred seating.

    So the question is how do you fix the positions of the HUD elements without it?

    On Carbon, I open one table. I then move all the HUD stats so they are next to the actual player, not random. But if I open other tables, the stats appear next to the wrong players again.

    As near as I can tell, in HM2, unlike HM1, you MUST use preferred seating in order to make your HUD line up right.

    Do you move the seats after your first hand or when you sit down?

    Open up 1 table.
    Set your HUD up.

    In the active sessions window, you have the bottom left corner with your tables. Click the "Use For All Tables" button - make sure your hud you use is chosen in the dropdown box to the left of that.

    Now, open a second window. Your HUD should be set up now to line up right.

    I probably played a dozen hands while i was poking around HM2. Once i finally got everything positioned correctly, i finally open another table, and they are misplaced on that and any other tables.

    So. today i opened HM2 again to doublecheck. The problem is worse than i thought. If you look at the attached screenshot you will see that noit only are some mis-positioned, but several players have 2 (count em -- 2) hud stats in random positions.

    In the screenshot i moved the ones to the center of the table for clarity. Before that they were overlapping other stats.

    i just notced your second post. i can try that next if the dupe stats go away...

    Please try my steps in the post above.

    Also for the 2 huds - it looks like one is 1.0 - please check to make sure you're not running the 1.0 table manager while seeing this.

    The dupe HUD entries appear to be due to HM1 crashing and leaving Table mnager in the system tray.

    Sorry for the false alarm.

    Clicking "Use for all tables" had no apparent effect.

    On the second table, the stats appear to be physically in the right place, but every single player shows another players stats.

    I tried it a second time. This time i noticed that on the second table, it's showing my stats as if i were in the same seat as on table #1. On table 2 i am 1 seat to the right of my seat on table 1, so on table 2 everyone's stats are shifted one player 2 the right.

    The stats are physically in the right place. Just wrong players...
