PokerTH

My app keeps freezing up.

I'll just be sitting there, watching the play and suddenly it will just stop on one of the players. Like they are deciding what to do. After the time has lapsed and nothing has happened, I check the chat box and sure enough the game is frozen. I have to close the game table which takes me back to the PokerTH start menu and I have to restart the Internet Game. Then it asks me if I want to rejoin the game. which I do and usually it doesn't reoccur for a while.

Not been an issue until today, I mean, I lose the chips in the pot but, at least I am able to rejoin the game. But today I was sitting in the lobby waiting for the game to start and noticed it had been awhile since heard someone joining. When I checked the lobby chat box, i discovered it was frozen again. By the time I got back the game had already started. I don't know if I got a 10, or if it booted me before game start... I'll find out later.

Anyway. In subsequent game, two other players (sol and notme) stated they were experiencing the same issue.

You can only re-join a game within 5 minutes in a 5s game.

OK. But that doesn't answer the root issue.

The game keeps freezing up. It LOOKS fine, but nothing happens. You have to close the table and rejoin.

But, if you are sitting in the lobby and have joined an open table, and the screen freezes, you don't know it's frozen. Not until you try to type.

The answer for the root issue is most likely your internet at your location - which obviously cannot keep a steady connection to the game-server.

Are you sure about other players facing the same issues? If the game-server is the cause, it would affect way more players and it would also show up in the server logs.

In order to figure out if the cause is your ISP or your router at home, you should try playing poker with different networks and compare the effects.
Try playing with your mobile internet for example.

It stopped freezing up. And yes, it happened on different computers and connected on other networks. But. Like I said, It seems to be working fine now.
