I finally got a chance to use TD2 in my ToC this weekend and had major problems with it. The clock kept hanging sometimes only updating every 2-3 seconds and sometimes it would go 30-40 seconds. Major lag going between screens trying to do bustouts and so on. It eventually crashed and I had to restart so I just loaded up TD1.3 and went from there.

Anyone else have issues like this? The laptop this is on should be more than adequate. It's a 2.1 Gig with 256MB of memory. I need to post in the forum over there, but I'm concerned I didn't see any other mentions of this there already. TD2 looks very cool and I'd love to use all the new features, but obviously I'm not going to end up buying a license if it runs like this. Worst case I can always make due with TD1.3

I have run it twice now for a complete tourney and I haven't had any problems. You may want to reinstall it, might be a place to start. If that doesn't work then hit the TD forum to get help directly from Corey.

Were you using a custom layout, or was it one of the premade ones?

Also check your Screen Set rotation times, that may need changed.

Its running great for me. The screen rotation through me for a loop though, didn't realize what was going on. Then I figured out how to get rid of it because I really didn't like it. I would recommend reloading it and trying it again.

I started with one of the premade layouts and tweaked it. I also did away with the screen rotation. I just like the main screen showing. I put in a post over at the TD forums, but maybe a re-install might help also. It was just really weird. Seemed like a memory leak or something like that, but it looked like it was only using 56M or so, so there still should have been plenty available. I could alt-tab between Excel and TD no problem and Excel would be fine, but going back to TD still hag all kinds of lagging.

Can I ask why you had Excel running?

I also thought of this while I was taking a nap today, the previous version had issues with screen savers, I have always had mine off since then and even though the new version was supposed to address those issues I have still kept screen savers off. Do/did you have yours on? That may be part of the problem, who knows?

Just had Excel open to do the chip counts for each round of my ToC. Not something I would normally have, but I can't imagine why it would interfere with TD. When I would alt-tab to Excel, Excel would work fine, no lag at all.

I did have the screen saver off. I never had a problem with it crashing 1.3, but it was annoying to have the screen saver come on and have to go over to the screen and turn it off, so I just disabled it when I use TD.

No response over at TD yet. Hopefully I'll hear something. All the new features would be really cool, but ultimately useless if I don't have a functioning clock.

Very true!

I hope you get your problem figured out!! It might take a day or so to get a response over there. The number of members is pretty small, and Corey doesn't check them everyday (usually every other).

Good Luck!!
