HM2 "upgrade" to PT4 Special Price

I own HM2 Holdem + Omaha Pro version and I will probably move to PT4 Pro. I've uninstalled HM2 and begun a 30 day trial of PT4. So far I like it better than HM2 because it does not bug my system :).

As I understand I have to provide a screen shot of my HM2 email purchase confirmation to get the special ending May 5 2014?

Yes, that is correct. To qualify for the limited time 40% Discount off the price of PokerTracker 4 you must provide proof of HEM or HM2 ownership for verification in the form of a screenshot. We can accept screenshots in any of the following formats: JPG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, .DOC, DOCX, RTF, or PDF. Once the screenshot is uploaded, please select the PokerTracker 4 version you wish to purchase to receive the 40% discount. Proof of Ownership Options:
  • Upload a screenshot of your holdemmanager.com 'My Account' page listing your payment date of purchase.
  • Upload a screenshot of the email confirmation of your HEM or HM2 purchase; the email screenshot must contain the date of purchase to qualify for the discount.

PS: You did not have to uninstall HM2, it does not matter if that application is installed or not, performance will be unaffected while using PT4.

The trials offered by PokerTracker are always unrestricted by stakes. Small stakes limiting is only in effect if you chose to purchase. PokerTracker 4 is unrestricted, the Small Stakes version of PokerTracker 4 adds restrictions - if you think about it that way its more logical.

I'm aware of this and wasn't complaining about the structuring of the product, I was simply speculating that the trial doesn't really confirm or deny the answer to my initial question.

I did some googling and I think I actually found that it is supported by small stakes. Some forum post thing on the PT website from 2008, but it seems applicable: https://www.pokertracker.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=43079

Thanks for awesome support as usual.

That was a bug added to just one release version of PokerTracker many years ago, because it was a bug that was fixed years ago it is therefore is not relevant to your question.

To clarify, we would add a warning window that said "this 10 day trial is only for the small stakes version of Omaha" if it was necessary. Since the trial is unrestricted, there is no need to add a warning message. Hope that helps clear up the misunderstanding.

Can I put the hands of different sites in the same folder and start PokerTracker's "Get Hands While Playing" to get them in my database?

In other words, will PokertTracker correctly identify and classify hands of a mixed sites folder?

Click "Get Hands From Disk" instead of "Get Hands While Playing", PokerTracker will be unaffected if you have mixed hand history formats in the same folder while using this method.

Please review our Firewall and Antivirus guide at https://www.pokertracker.com/guides...all-and-security-software-configuration-guide

Our steps located in this guide have been adapted from Symantec's directions, located at http://service1.symantec.com/Suppor...docid=2003022714315536&nsf=nip.nsf&view=docid


You should direct all Norton related product questions to Norton’s technical support department which is located at http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/dtree.jsp. You can point them to our guide for additional help. We do not have hands-on experience with Norton antivirus products, our staff does not use this software.

The above option doesn't exist with the other firewall options to allow access.

I'm afraid this would be between you and Norton, this is a Norton issue, not a PokerTracker issue. We do not know why their application does not provide those options to you. Our support generally does not like recommending Norton products, if you cannot get satisfaction from Norton's support perhaps you should look into one of the many other security options available instead? Many are free, we included a list within the guide I previously posted for you.

Additional Notes:
* Due to the extensive database updates and improvements in this release, a Database Cache Rebuild is required to assure that your database performs optimally when using any of the stats that were altered, fixed or updated in this release. This rebuild will take place automatically, and will require an extensive amount of time for large PokerTracker 4 databases - please plan your update time accordingly. Please be aware that if the cache update is canceled or bypassed PokerTracker 4 will not work properly.
** This update will only affect newly imported hands, to apply this minor fix retroactively please re-import any hand that would be affected by this issue. This is a minor fix that only affects rare situations, we do not advise reimporting your database unless it is absolutely necessary for compliance.
*** PostgreSQL 9.3 is now conditionally supported, however our developers do not advise using any version of PostgreSQL higher than 9.0 unless you are willing to help us test support for this new PostgreSQL version by providing our staff with support tickets in the event that any unforeseen issues may occur. The addition of any new PostgreSQL version to PokerTracker 4 support is taken very cautiously to assure that data corruption will not occur. Our extensive tests have shown that switching to 9.3 appears to be safe however it is possible that unexpected side effects may be discovered as more PokerTracker 4 users switch to this more modern version of PostgreSQL. Please proceed with caution and at your own risk, but we can share that PokerTracker’s own support staff have moved to PostgreSQL 9.3 safely and with good results so far. At this time we ask that only advanced PokerTracker 4 users with extensive experience with our support ticket system consider switching to PostgreSQL 9.3. An in depth guide for PostgreSQL 9.3 conversion is available at https://www.pokertracker.com/guides/PT4/databases/how-to-manually-install-or-reinstall-postgresql-93-windows

Hello
asking a question about newest updates.
it seems rebuild my database, think I stored about 3.2G hand history in PT4 database, looks like needs a long time to process.

I stopped them during the middle, any ideas

How long it is going to be?
and
Does my PT4 database crushed when using Task manager stopped them during the processing?
Do I need to back up....save my database first?

PS: because this week needs to play some hundreds of SNGs on merge, therefore, I stopped updates during the middle. [ could not run PT4 and HM2 same time]

Thank you in advance.

Hello
asking a question about newest updates.
it seems rebuild my database, think I stored about 3.2G hand history in PT4 database, looks like needs a long time to process.

Yes. As you can see in the release notes above we warn users that large databases will take a very long time to rebuild.

I stopped them during the middle, any ideas

Why would you do that? We also warn that PokerTracker 4 WILL NOT WORK if the database does not update first. The release notes say "Please be aware that if this database update is canceled or bypassed PokerTracker 4.11 will not work properly until a cache rebuild is manually executed. "

How long it is going to be?

3.2 gigs will take a few hours to overnight depending on your computer. Every single field in the database is touched and updated when necessary during cache rebuilding.

Does my PT4 database crushed when using Task manager stopped them during the processing?
Do I need to back up....save my database first?

PokerTracker 4 tells you to backup before you start updating the database, we even make this process easier for you by automating it - you should always backup before any database updating takes place. Force quitting from the task manager is unlikely to damage your database, but PokerTracker 4 is currently unusable until you manually rebuild the database. This must be done first. To manually rebuild the database click Database > Database Maintenance > Rebuild Cache > Full Cache Rebuild. Walk away from the computer, the bigger the database the longer this will take.

PS: because this week needs to play some hundreds of SNGs on merge, therefore, I stopped updates during the middle.

You should never install an update to a tracking tool like PokerTracker until after your playing sessions are done, and you know that you can afford the extra downtime. We had this release ready a week ago but held it back because of SCOOP, we knew some players would make this mistake. In the future its important to read the release notes for each release first so you know what to expect, and only update once you have the free time allocated.

PokerTracker 4.11.1 - OUT NOW

Release Notes - May 22, 2014

ATTENTION: A database update is required after installing PokerTracker 4.11.x for the first time, please allow this update to be completed.

This incremental update addresses database update and slow import issues our users reported upon the release of PokerTracker 4.11, the update will address these concerns which were caused primarily by select third party custom stats that contain custom columns as well as memory improvements to address issues caused by some older versions of PostgreSQL. This update will not address all of the issues that some users of 4.11 have experienced, but it does address most of the major issues. Our developers are hard at work and intend to release additional incremental updates to resolves any outstanding major issues.

  • Database: Adjust Stakes: Fix to stop the cache rebuild from failing after stake adjustments

Is there a way to place a color code on a player without having the color contour line? I mean this is too much distraction, I'd like just a little color icon and no line.

PokerTracker 4.11.2 Release Notes - May 24, 2014

ATTENTION: A database update is required after installing PokerTracker 4.11.x for the first time, please allow this update to be completed. If you have a large database and you have not previous updated your database for compatibility with PokerTracker 4.11 then please postpone installation of 4.11.2 until your session is complete to avoid interfering with your playing schedule. Please be aware that if this database update is canceled or bypassed PokerTracker 4.11.2 will not work properly until a cache rebuild is manually executed.


This incremental update addresses fixes the bug introduced in 4.11.1 that affected custom stats/column names when switched to lowercase for compatibility with PostgreSQL standards along with resolving several other issues in the original 4.11 release. This update will not address all of the issues that some users of 4.11 have experienced, but it does address most of the major issues. Our developers are hard at work and intend to release additional incremental updates to resolves any outstanding major issues.

For a complete list of revisions in this release, please review the PokerTracker 4.11 and 4.11.1 Release Notes.

Fixed:
  • Stats: Fix a bug that was created with the release of 4.11.1 when the column name case fix was introduced, roll back this fix and instead change to case insensitive lookups
  • Import: GTech: Include .log files when performing Get Hands While Playing
  • Import: GTech: Fix to allow ‘.log’ files to detect missing hole cards on some cash hands
  • Import: PokerStars: Address import errors that occurred with Run it Twice hands
  • Aliases: Additional fixes for merging player caches when adding player name aliases
  • Database: Cache: Added index verification checks when database changes occur to ensure a working index
  • Graphs: GUI: Improved “Loading..." and "Populating..." animation text positioning
  • ICM Quiz: Fix a crash that can occur when reviewing ICM Simulation details
  • ICM Quiz: Parameters: Fixed a bug where an empty table was found when invoking the quiz after the Quiz Parameters were canceled
  • Reports: Tournament Overview: Fix delays related to multiple selection of tournament rows

Is there a problem with the new update?

Problems im having

- Updated backed up my DB (18GB which might have something to do with it but idk)

1) HUD doesnt show up on most of my tables
2) the hands are importing extremely slowly and sometimes not at all. I will play a hand and it will get imported 5 minutes later if at all

Im presuming its a bug in the new update?

I was personally under the impression that Poker 770 was no longer in business, so it would be hard for me to comment on this without further research. I assume they are still on the MPN network, yes? If so, there are no known issues with the HUD not working on MPN. Please create a support ticket and we will investigate. We advise including the hands from a session where the HUD did not appear. What version of our software are you using? What table/game type did you play at? Have you previously used our software at Poker770 recently with sucess?

Thats a very large database, I'm sure it took a long time to update. Please download and install 4.11.2, this version fixes some of the issues our users had after updating to 4.11 if they had custom stats installed. The problem your experiencing is caused by custom stats that are non-compliant, we will need to review your pokertracker4.oog and pokertrackerhud4.log files to provide assistance Please follow these instructions to submit a support ticket : https://www.pokertracker.com/guides/PT4/general/how-to-submit-a-bug-report

Poker770 is on the iPoker network and version 4.11 was working with no issues. Only since updating to 4.11.1 and 4.11.2 has the HUD not appeared.

We can confirm that there are no known issues with the HUD while playing at iPoker, we just verified by testing at a Speed Poker table and found no concerns.

Please create a support ticket, attach your pokertracker4.log and pokertrackerhud4.log files from a sessions where you attempted to play at an iPoker table with no success, our team of expert support reps will review your logs and determine what is causing this problem for you.
