2nd night on sbr poker with a laptop since my desktop apparently got struck by lightning. i must say this is unbearable and needs to be fixed asap... i've gotten disconnected abot 25 times each night.


also: im using exact same connection as i had with my desktop and never once, the whole time i was playing on sbr, got disconnected on it

[BGboothA]

I play on my laptop as well. I have never had a problem. Not sure what is going on.

[goldman40]

i play on a laptop and it kills me i got disconnected abouit ten times in tonight tourny they need to fix this i got so tired of this that i went all in with a shit hand to get out lou can u do something

[daneblazer]

are you using the same version of windows?

[eberetta1]

Does it happen at your other poker sites while on this internet connection? I have lost other poker site connections besides SBR poker, so it is sometimes the internet I am using that is the issue.

i use a laptop today only bc i play while working and my work blocks the poker. had no problem except being auto put on away when i'm not paying attention but that was my fault..

[VTranX]

looks like you need a better laptop...

[onlooker]

I use SBRpoker on my laptop with no problems.

It has XP on it, and I have read maybe it is Windows 7 causing the problem. Have we scratched that yet? Well I will be getting my new Sony VAIO laptop with Windows 7 soon, and I will see if I start getting disconnected.

I disconnected at least 5 times today too when i was playing on a netbook at work.. But it usually runs smooth when I'm on my laptop at home

[onlooker]

I think people that get disconnected all the time should list computer specs when posting complaints. It would help the Techs address the issues.

Processor, RAM, OS, etc.

[Pajda]

Maybe there's a problem with your wireless card.

I get kicked every tournament at least once or twice. Overall not any other problems, but it is almost a lock to happen at least once. I have Windows 7.

[excel]

I get kicked a lot also, windows 7 (64bit) i5 - 4g ram

I play from a laptop. I have never had any problems.

I play from a laptop that has Windows 7 and it was ******.

Click on the SBR Poker icon. > Properties > compatibility > run this program as ... windows XP Service pack 2 (experiment with different options if this doesn't work)

I did this and my constant disconnections ended. It still happens from time to time but no where near as bad as it did before.

[NYER5680]

Mine works just fine occasional disconnect.

[chilidog]

I also play sbr poker on my windows laptop, and never any disconnect issues. I run ubuntu on my desktop, and it doesn't seem to mesh well with wine, so i stick to the laptop for poker.

[scarface2738]

i hate that i always use my pc.

I got my new laptop coming with Windows 7 Pro. So I can run stuff in XP if need be. Just in case.

[chilidog]

XP or 7?

xp. i rarely use windows, so no need to upgrade to anything

[Tsiggy Fresh]

I thinks its just your lap top. I been playing with mine and no disconz

Good advice. People with Win7 Pro version can also try running SBR Poker in "XP Mode"

Win7 has a totally different network stack than XP and I think it's a bit wonky. Probably not THE reason but maybe a contributing one.

i dont know anything about the computer world.

its vista (yea i know sucks, but i literally have no files, or programs and do absolutely nothing on it)., average computer (bout $700), gateway, never disconnected 16 tabling pokerstars trying to nit it up for supernova a few years back), and like i said, my desktop never disconnected from sbr poker (ruling out my connection speed).

surely i dont need some state of the art laptop just to play sbr poker. i always found it ridiculous how people would chat how they disconnect on their laptop nonstop, and now im experiencing it too

[apkboston]

i use a mac book pro, and run windows xp through parallels and it works just fine

[Lint Pockets]

i play on a laptop and i never get disconnected, get dsl and not some ghetto dial up connection

Apple is the way to go. Never use anything with Microsoft as the operating system.

False.
