Since the last software update we’ve been listening to the great amount of feedback we’ve received since the last upgrade, gone back to the drawing board on a few issues and today we’re happy to announce some brilliant new features to improve your time at partypoker.com.
The highlight of the latest software upgrade sees the introduction of fantastic new bounty tournaments from tomorrow onwards. Along with many other minor tweaks, many of which you won’t be able to notice, we will also introduce of a ‘remember table layout’ feature and enhanced players notes.
Bounty tournaments allow players to get paid for knocking other players out. PartyPoker.com will take part of the buy-in and put it towards a bounty for each player. For example, PartyPoker.com could take $5 of a player’s $20 + $2 buy-in to create their bounty, with the other $15 going towards the prize pool. The bounty winnings are credited to a player’s account immediately.
The new ‘remember table layout’ feature has to be enabled but once it is this feature will remember the layout of tables when closed and will open new tables at the same size and in the same position. If a player changes the layout of their tables it will open the next new table in the same position as the last one closed.
This isn’t a default feature, players have to tick the ‘remember table layout’ check box under Preferences/General/General Options to activate the feature. This feature will remember the layouts on the specific computer a player is playing on, layouts will also be remembered on a secondary monitor.
The new enhanced player notes feature makes it even easier to make notes on opponents. All a player has to do is double-click on the player’s image at the table to open the ‘Notes’ section with their name already entered in the ‘Select Player’ field.

Hi,
I have been having a lot of problems with Party Poker since this latest upgrade. The software has been crashing and shutting down 5/6 times a day since this upgrade with error message ‘PartyGaming MFC Application has stopped working’. I have never had a problem before with the software apart from the odd disconnections. My cursor often changes to the ‘hourglass/thinking/processing’ icon, or whatever its called, constantly as if it is really struggling.
I emailed your support and they suggested uninstall and re-install, this didn’t work, then they actually rang me to talk me though it again but to also delete the reg keys/edits, this didn’t work. I have now emailed again and am awaiting reply.
I have noticed on the 2+2 forums people are saying similar things. I play on Party about 9 hours a day so this crashing is getting extremely annoying. I love playing on Party but don’t know how much more of this I can take. My laptop is fairly new also, so this shouldn’t be the problem. This problem has only started since the last upgrade which was about a week ago.
The support have said that they haven’t been getting many complaints about this. I have Vista by the way.
Please could you help with any advice or things I could try to stop this happening.
Thanks in advance,
Al
