hi everyone..i have just signed up here today but have been a frequent visitor...i have a problem with one of my autos,thought maybe someone could help....perfect pair solitaire...matchmaker 3.....When you get a bonus of 2 freecells available and the auto uses up all the lifesavers,the freecell dissappears.but the auto doesnt seem to recognise this.thus stopping the game,if it wasnt for this my game would run forever.....i also have a problem with aces up...i have to sit with it for every game,im rank 20 up to now,the auto site says its in beta still...is it going to be improved at all?....thanx all for your time and thanx barbara for your help

aces up auto sticks a lot.shoots down a card,sometimes an ace out of sequence thus for stopping the game....i did find that by sitting with it i could stop the auto near the end of the game and finish it myself just by swapping a few cards around

lol didnt know there was one,,,,i can try tho,,,had the auto a while but not really used it since i got to rank 20...been busy with lottso and phlinx(which i just finished yesterday) and now omaha rank 38... 5 royals and 3 x aaaa but no 4 of a kind to the hole cards,,thanx so much..i will give it a go as soon as pogo comes back up

I've seen both happen, but I've never seen either issue permanently hang a game.  For periods over a half hour I use Room rover though, so I could be wrong...

I'll tell you what though DGL.  I'll run both tonight and babysit to see if that's really the case.  You've got me curious...

[Jeffer]

Here are my findings...

Aces Up:  Found a slowdown on solving when planes had to shoot down a card from spot number 3 (from the left).  After 2 hours saw slowdowns from 20 seconds to 2 minutes 30 seconds. Never encountered a total stoppage.

Perfect pair:  After 20 minutes of play saw a stoppage listed as mentioned.  After 5 minutes, did a print screen.


Sent both issues to appropriate parties with explanation and description of my system along with screen shots.

My recommendation be to use Room Rover and set turn over time to 20 minutes or so for the meantime.

Firstly id like to thank barbara for starting this thread for me as i am new i dont know how to start 1 and thanx to jeffers for taking time out to look up the problems i listed....... i played aces up last night and slowed it down a little,it seemed that when a card was shot down and missed as to say, the next draw was made therefor stopping the game BUT grrr for the first time ever the game froze on me,i never had this problem before and the only thing different on my pc since the last time i played that game is the new version of java i installed....i also played perfect pair that froze up on me too,once again that hasnt happened to me either in that game sigh...where perfect pair auto (mm3)was not reading that the freecell dissappeared,i just thought that maybe if the auto didnt recognise that two freecells can be available that it would solve this issue id rather take 10 straight losses and find my auto still working when i returned to my pc than have it stop after just a few games,im no programmer lol but thats just my opinion,i did also notice that the mm3 auto uses lifesavers where it didnt need to,for example..id have just a few cards left no life savers would be needed to use but the auto would flip a card up top to the freecell then match it up where as it could of just done the normal match from the location the cards were at....once again thank you to all who have helped.....oh and btw i have the phlinx auto and that kept stopping too,it just seems to decide....i dont want to shoot anymore lol,,,,but i didnt mind that so much,i dont like that game and for every game the auto played i was grateful lol....if anyone can tell me how to start a new thread i would be grateful,pm me anytime,,and wtg all those programmers that are doing a fine job with the autos

DGL...to start a new thread, you would go to where the Forum page is and choose a topic that you'd like post under...i.e, Off Topic, Club Pogo, Technical Help, etc, and along the Menu bar that starts with Page 1,2,3, etc...there are buttons the last one to the right is for starting a new thread (New Topic).

[DGL]

Any news on mm3? i reported that the auto stops when two freecells are available to use and you run out of lifesavers,i used the report prob on their homepage but still notihng,,thank you
