PA-HUD not updating while playing

[Reel Deal]

I thought that's what the Refresh Rates item under Preferences was for... guess not??

Well its reading from your DB, not from the tables HH themselves. If it did that it would be slow as hell. Before you start playing, fire up PT and set it to auto import. Then start PAhud. Then sit at your table. You should be good to go.

This is exactly how it works. It's reading from your db, so if you're not updating your db, it's not going to update on the screen.

In related news, I have a number of annoying "quirks" with my PAHud. I've read through their forums and seen numerous other people complain about the same thing, but the developer seems to always insist it's not a real problem - believe me it is.

Fortunately, the solution almost always seems to be to close PAHud and reopen it, and then I'm good to go a few minutes later.

One example, in case you are wondering - if PAHud has identified a table BEFORE I am sitting there, it won't update my stats on that table (it sees me, but it never updates my stats) no matter how long I wait. I close and reopen it, and there I am a minute or two later. It's annoying, because pretty much every night I end up having to close and reopen PAHud a number of times to get it working the way I want it to.

this may not be what you are asking, but lets start easy and work our way up. When you are going to play, open PT and PAHUD. In the PT window that opens, click the top button (3-4 in from the right) that says "Auto-Import Full Tilt". Another, smaller window opens up. Make sure you are saving the HH to the correct place and they are getting moved to another place once processed. This should all be covered in the tutorials. Set the time you want autoimports to occur, like around 120 seconds or whatever, and then click "start timer" button. Then go and play.

if this is not it, I will continue.

you want to import each site individually and not the "auto-import general" or whatever button. This screws up your datamining, so just import each site individually.

I think this is the problem... I had been hitting the start timer button and then stopping it after I thought it had imported all the new hands. I'll start it and let it go and see if that does the trick. Thanks.
