In today's update:

A. Removal of Flash - We believe Flash was causing the majority of the crashes and performance issues being reported. Memory consumption should also be much lower. If you were experiencing lots of crashes or poor performance before, try playing now and see if there has been an improvement.

B. New LHH Replayer - The main component in the game that used Flash was the Last Hand History Replayer. While re-writing it so we could remove Flash, we included a few extra features that have been highly requested. The main one being you can now take notes in the LHH Replayer just like any other table. Please report any bugs you find with this new replayer and we'll be sure to get them fixed asap.

C. Auto Post and Auto Wait For BB By Default - Another highly requested couple of options. In the Options menu (or Table Options under Misc) you'll find "Auto Post by Default" and "Wait for Big Blind by Default" checkboxes. They do what they say they do. Less button clicking for all!

Somewhat related but not exactly a new option is a change to Ante tables. Now Ante tables behave like "Speed" tables where Auto-Posting (both blinds and antes) is mandatory. You're put into "Wait for BB" mode right when you sit down and there's a "Sit Out Next BB" checkbox. No more having to manually click Ante for each hand of your final orbit at the table.

D. Stack Tables Layout Option - Under "Tile" and "Cascade" under the Layout Menu on the table, there is now a "Stack" option. When selected, all tables will line up perfectly behind the table you select Stack from.

E. Heads-Up Ring Game Changes - We've automated our policy regarding Heads-Up tables. Now, if you sit alone at more than one identical ring game table, the game will automatically hide all but one of those tables. The one it decides to show is based on stack size, with your biggest stack getting priority. This means CS will no longer be monitoring how many empty Heads-Up tables anyone is sitting at (and nobody has to report anyone either). We'll keep an eye on the situation, though, and if anything starts to get out of control again we may have to further limit the number of different empty table types you can sit at.

F. Hiding Empty/HU SNGs - We've done the same thing in HU SNGs that we did for HU Ring Games above. You can sit at a bunch of the same empty HU SNG, but only one will show at a time. We also changed all SNGs to only show one completely empty SNG at a time (previously if someone registered for 10 SNGs and left them all, they would all sit around looking ugly in the lobby).

G. New Find Player Lobby Widget - So you don't have to keep hitting Ctrl-F, you can just use this widget to find players. Look for it in the Customize Widget area.

H. Improved Large Tournament Performance - We've further improved performance for large tournaments. If you were experiencing issues with Big Little Tournament or FTOPS Warm Up sized MTTs, you should no longer have a problem.

I. Tournament Deal Modification - We've changed who gets "control" of tournament deals by default. It used to be the largest stack. Now it's the player who will be getting the button next.

J. Restore Disabled Pop-Up Dialogs - If you ever clicked "Don't show me this again" on a dialog and want to see it again, use this (found under the Options menu) and all of your disabled pop-ups will show again.

K. Display Images for Folded Cards - Instead of the old "5c 8h" text to show you what you folded, we now show the cards themselves when you hover your mouse over your pod.

L. Small Rush Poker Changes - There is now an "All" games option (which is now the default), so the Rush PLO should get more attention. We've also added "Medium" stakes to the default stakes option, so the bigger NLH Rush games should also get more visibility. You'll also notice as of today we're spreading an additional stake level of PLO and some new NLH w/Antes Rush games!

M. Standard View on Netbooks - Speaking of Rush changes, we've made it so you can now use Standard View even if your resolution is a little too "short" for the full lobby. Since most netbooks are 1024x600 and Standard View needs more than 600 pixels from top to bottom, the very bottom of the lobby will be cut off. It is usable, though, and you'll now be able to play Rush Poker on a netbook! (800x600 netbooks will also "work" with Standard View now but it's certainly a less than optimal lobby experience, sorry about that.)

N. Bug Fixes - Tier SNGs now count as "Satellites" in Advanced Filters, so you can get rid of them from your filter easier. Auto Top-Up no longer tops up to the max in a Cap NL/PL game, it treats the Cap as the max. The Find Player dialog now remembers where you last left it.

any new grn changes?

Its about time.

I'm a Mac user and i can't tell you how many times the client has crashed after I viewed a hand history. Thank God it never happened during a critical point of a tournament.

If <a href='http://rakeback.pocketfives.com' target='blank'>rakeback</a> is there only rewards program ....than yea ftp get off your ass and reward your long time customers.

I CONCUR GIVE ME RAKEBACK OR I GO TO STARRRRRRS, BUT I DONT WANT TO

Sounds good. I'm just praying you have fixed spazzing chat boxes, tables that move, tables that don't open and tables that don't close. 1 time doug?! Preeeettttyyyyyy please?!?!!!?

please explain to us why late reg cant revert to how it was during double weeks. i literally cant see a reason why full tilt would discourage more rake and bigger fields

Please move to 1 hour registration!!! Loved the double guarantees week ....

KOOL!

I second what qjuice above said about the Search Player function. I seldom ever search for friends on FTP and am always refreshing stars search window.

This update is kind of disappointing without anything resembling later registration : /

I can't get the download to work on my computer. It has windows 7 and was working fine until this update. Anyone else having dl problems?

Well done sir thank you
