Load only 1 popup's stats at one time

Postby sawwee » Fri Sep 06, 2013 10:01 am

As far as I realise PT4 starts to load the stats of ALL popups once you click on to show any of them. If you have several popups and your popups includes several complex custom stats then it takes a long time, sometimes even 20-30 seconds even running it on a good computer (i7 Processor, fast SSD, 8-16GB RAM.)

I suggest you to make PT4 to not start to load all the stats of all the popups but the only one which the player intended to see that time. I suppose it's not very difficult to do and it would increase user experience a lot.

(As an alternative solution you could make PT4 to cache custom stats, too, or start to load all the stats of the popups immediately once the regular HUD stats got loaded.)

I believe that type of change is planned, but I don't yet have a timeframe for it.

It seems, you've made it :) From the first glance, it's really good. But from the second it's very inconvenient. At least for me. I need to manually open every popup in the beginning of every table session in order to get popups loaded. Moreover, they often stop loading if I close popup before the loading has finished (please, clarify, is it true or I'm missing something). And if I will not do that, I will end up with empty popup in critical situation. And this is far more important than loading the most important popups first.

Are there any options to force PT4 to load all popups at the beginning of a table session (as in PT3) ot at least to load a popup once I've opened it for 0.1 sec?

Mr Tiger, which version do you use?

I don't see any difference (and there was no update since February), are you sure about what you wrote?

ver. 4.10.9.
I'm almost sure, but, to say the truth, not 100%. Do you mean, if I'll wait for some time, all stats (incuding popups) will be loaded without opening popups?

What I'm sure about is the following. If I open a popup for player A, it will be loaded firstly (popups for other players will not be loaded at this time).

What I mean is: if you have more than 1 popup for each players in your HUD, click on a popup for a player. It will take some time for the popup to show up because PT4 needs to collect the information from the database. Once you see all the numbers in the popup just click on another popup of the same player. You will see that all the numbers appear immediately.
It is because PT4 started to collect inormation from the database for ALL the popups of the chosen player at the time when you clicked on the 1st popup.

My request was to not collect information for all the popups of the chosen player because sometimes it takes long time to collect data for all the popups while I want to see only 1 of them. (Moreover the current method also limits the max number of the possible stats in hud popups.)

Okay. I see. You mean popups of one given player. I mean popups of all players at the table.
