Does every beta update require a db update?

Postby Starman » Thu Oct 21, 2010 1:26 pm

Got the 3.07.6 pop-up today with the 'lengthy db update' warning. (Haven't downloaded it yet.) I already updated my db when I installed my current version (3.07.4). Will I have to do so again every time I install a new 3.07 version or is the warning only for those running 3.06?

The update for 3.07.6 from 3.07.4 will actually take very little time - there was a minor change to a lookup table which only occurs in rare instances (specifically in hands where there is no small blind).

OK, thanks. And if I decide to skip this update (or a future one) and check the 'Don't show this message again' box, will PT3 notify me when 3.07.7 is released, or not show up again until 3.08 comes out?

You should still get a notification when a beta is released.

Cheers. I've successfully installed 3.07.6 (update took about 2 seconds :)), but I'm still getting the '3.07.6 is available' splash screen on launch. It's not a problem, now I know I can tick the box, but it's probably not what should happen either. Maybe I need to do a restart or something (don't have time to do that just now).

Do give a restart a try and let us know if there's still a problem for you then.

Restart cured it. When I first tried the install last night it failed - something about not being able to do something with the HUD, even though PT3 and clients were closed. I think the pagefile or something must hold some info to speed up relaunch. Anyway, no biggie.

I'm glad to hear that everything is working for you properly now.
