888/Party/StarsCaption
This is the support thread for 888/Party/StarsCaption, multi-purpose utilities for the 888, bwin.party, Poker Stars sites/networks.
Stars MI/NJ had an update today. StarsCaption keeps crashing - seems like something to do with the update, as it was working as normal last night.
bad_egg, ten25,
I'm working on it, but it seems StarsCaption v1.16f most likely will work for you right now (it seems some changes made in 68000 client versions are reverted in 69000 versions)
StarsCaption v1.17b
1. PokerStars 69000+ builds support (the latest version of PokerStars.MI)
2. Changes in custom bet box manual input processing
3. Options / Table init delay
Sets the time between detection and initialization of a table in milliseconds.
In previous versions, the table was picked up by StarsCaption immediately after detection, now you can set a delay of up to three seconds here.
If you experience lags in the poker client when opening a table, try to increase this value (the default is 0).
Hi, regards to my earlier struggles I think if table manager 2 could have a slight delay placing the tables to the slots it would take away some of the burden for the client. In my experience the client has bigbig performance troubles with tables opening and esp multiple ones at once. Would it be possible to add simple modifiable timer before setwindowpos does its job? Don't really mind if the table sits idle few secs after opening if that will put less stress to the client. There is a delay bef
Hi
Please try to set 1000 in Options / Table init delay (in StarsCaption v1.17b), it will be 1 second delay.
Let me know if it works better for you
Hello,
in StarsCaption Bluff Equity tag doesn't show % sign afterwards. Is it intended or could you make it show % sign?
Stars Caption HUD flickering when enabled simultaneously with DriveHud.
Any advice?
Hi
Try this:
1. Turn on Options / Prevent table activation
2. Try different states of HUD / Hovering HUD
3. Try different options in HUD / HUD Z-order
(after changing options 2 and 3 reopen tables or restart StarsCaption, if you have any tables opened)
It's decent solution but it will sometimes show when no Bluff Equity is shown (for example villain is all-in then % sign will show but not Bluff Equity). Anyway this is very minor inconvenience. Ty for this amazing app making PS very nice to multi-table.
On the new WSOP software the auto time bank option on 888caption doesn’t seem to be working it folds my hand if I don’t act in time. Am I missing something?
Hello LikeAA,
On pokerstars mi/nj, I am unable to run the client as admin. If I do, the geolocation check wont correctly confirm my location. It's fine without being run as admin.
Until I get this sorted out, is it possible to show the note editor with a hotkey? Left mouse click on player name etc.. won't bring up the note editor anymore. Everything else (hotkeys, hud, table editor) works fine tho.
* under additional hotkeys menu, I have the "set note menu" to be brought up with a hotkey. (in case this info helps)
Thanks

Hi
Unfortunately, in the current implementation there is no way to make the Note editor work if the poker client is not launched as an administrator.
I'll try to think about it, maybe I'll make an alternative implementation of this function.
Is this a wsop or caption setting? I haven’t seen a way to manually hit the time bank on the new software
In this case Caption can't click it too.
Caption doesn't have any magic like "activate time bank", it just click buttons (and it can't click a button if there is no button)
I have no idea why 888 and WSOP are removed time bank button in these new client versions, you can try to ask them.

Hi,
Thanks. Tested with 1000ms and as expected it seems to keep the client more stable. I did have a reallyreally weird "side effect" once when several tables were opening at the same time. Somehow the client native buttons that starscaption have nothing to do with got "stuck" for the hand in a very weird way. I think it was 100% client related whatever that was. Got no settings with caption that should touch those buttons in any way. Usually in such scenario when so many tables have opened at once the client has frozen but not this time with this delay which is the main thing. So definitely it helps. There were also other benefits. I think it totally removed the jumpiness/choppy of the client while tables were opening.

Reformat fixed admin issue. I'm all set... Thanks again for your excellent support.
