Beta Testing / Re: 2.6 beta 3

I think there may have been more catastrophic things going on at the time because after I posted, I couldn't get past the error and the setting window was blank. I ended the task in task manager and restarted and it has been fine since.

I have noticed a new problem recently, since the day before this error. Some of the diaglogs which appear when you right click cannot be left clicked. So the context menu comes up, but clicking doesn't select the option. Two dialogs I know this happens on is the tournament screen when I try to auto resize and right clicking a name on the tables tab to bust a player out.

I'm at a loss on this one.  Are you saying you can't select the "Auto-size Screen" context menu option on the Game window?  And on the Tables tab, you can't select the "Bust <player name> out" context menu option?  What about other context menu options?

I think you can safely ignore this, I discovered a virus and rebuilt the computer and now ther errors have gone.

Thanks for the info, Barry (on both posts).  About the error you got: this one clearly points to the software trying to update the "Start Tournament" button on the Controls tab, but apparently not finding the button.  Since that button is always there on the Controls tab, I don't know how this could happen.  Any clues you could give?  I assume the Settings window was open and you were on the Controls tab at the time ... ?  And you used the "Pause Clock" button (or the spacebar) to pause the clock ... ?  (Can't think of another way from there to pause the clock.)

Beta Testing / Re: 2.6 beta 3

with previous versions (up to 2.6 beta 2) I had to save the tournament at the first break (after 3 levels.45 minutes) and restart to prevent it slowing the laptop down too much.

I ran a tournament last night with 2.6 beta 3 and it was much better, although there was still a significant amount of memory being used by MSHTA and the clokc was stuttering now and again.

could still be a problem on longer tournaments, but the workaround is a quick save and restart during one of the breaks.

I've been monitoring the system resources while I run a tournament and I have discovered a few things.

1. Whilst MSHTA.EXE does use increasingly more memory, the clock starts stuttering and the system slows before I am using more than 50% of the available memory.
2. Each stutter of the clock coincides with a peak in disk activity.


Not sure what this proves, other than the fact that the MSHTA.EXE memory usage may be a red herring.

Can I request that the players tab is sorted by time out not id... or at least it could remember how you sorted it previously?

When I couldn't figure out what the big issue with the high CPU usage in 2.6 was, I did a lot of optimization in an attempt to reduce the problem as much as possible.  Might account for the software running a little bit better, but it still does use more memory than I'd like.  Having said that, I run it on Win7/IE8 a lot and I still haven't encountered any hiccups after I fixed the big high CPU usage bug.  I wish I knew why you see them.

Does this have any relevance?? http://forums.iis.net/p/1145315/1854584.aspx

I see you have made some enhancements to cpu load, but I am still having trouble with MSHTA using more and more memory the longer you use it. I think this is only on windows 7/IE 8.

I have 2.5.11 and I don't have auto save on and I have the IE options set as suggested and I get the same error!

I have just noticed that it is a different line though!

I've managed to do what I wanted with the tournament export template. the only problem with that is that I can only do that at the end of the tourney.

The info I need is
  • List of player names
  • date
  • number of players
  • event name
  • description

I think thats a full list.

Thats right.

Would it be difficult to make the all tags available to all templates?

Obviously if you tried to use a tag before it was set then it would be empty (for example if you tried to use the <endtime> tag durning a game).

Thanks, I have found that.

It seems that the tags are not interchangable between the different templates?
