Bovada new update on January 6th is awful and buggy as hell

[BeerAndPoker]

This new update is the worst, I made a call to Bovada and they wanted to troubleshoot my computer with stupid stuff and even requested I uninstall the client then re-install. This is the worst because not only do you lose your settings but it won't fix a damn thing until they release another update with fixes or go back to the previous software version.

Without making a long write up since I don't have the time at the moment I will say the lobby is slower with ugly smaller fonts, the tables take longer to load up with a percentage counter thing as they load as if it's some old java game, the fonts on the tables look ugly along with the way the any of just the basic animations show up (I have most of silly ones like celebration stuff off already), etc...

Everything is much more laggy in general.

Reminds me of the old Bodog days when every update would break something and make the software worse.

I'm glad I read this here because I thought it was just my computer that was causing the problems with Bovada. It is awful, but isn't that true of almost every "upgrade" ever? Have you looked at the new WPT "upgraded" site - it's absurd. My bootleg Amazon Fire stick was updated last night and today it's pretty much worthless.

I played it tonight.

Lagged a little, and there were definitely some bugs (such as the lobby disconnecting, and making it impossible for me to rebuy), but I am not experiencing the extreme problems that others are running into.

Look at this 2+2 thread about it: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...mment-1580370/

From what I can gather, I am having a better experience because I am running Windows 10, 1080p resolution, and a new computer. So I guess I bought my new system at just the right time. The people experiencing the biggest problems are ones with older computers, Windows 7, and/or less than 1080p resolution.

They had better fix this quickly before they drive away all the fish.

It looks like they reproduced the crappy mobile site on the PC. Not smart.

I started a thread before seeing this one, that's how miffed I am over the update.

The software has updated from 4.25 to 4.27.1 and it seems we have gone backwards

- software is super laggy, especially the lobby and crazy input lag (within each table decision and switching around to anything you click on in the tournament lobby or to SNG or cash and also when you type into chat)
- unable to use mods to change chips, cards, card backs, table felts, etc
- tables now have loading times and some have experienced disconnections
- text now scales w table sizes and is barely legible and unclear even at default sizes
- you can't pop out the chat
- the mouse cursor is now a hand instead of an arrow around the bet bar
- No more stud games and less SNG satellites
- a seat is automatically picked when you select a cash table
- the slider is a fancy circle instead of the old slider and it does not slide properly

AND I have no sound

The update also does not allow folks to use huds (on either bovada and bodog) and from what I gathered in reading some of the forums and reddit and 2p2, it seems as if this is an update to discourage multi tabling, as supposed to enhance it.

I bet they went to the mobile client bc it saves them money to combine the two

Totally unplayable. What a dumpster fire clusterfuck.
