HUD Popup Speed

[alexjcombs]

Could you please, please, please add an option with the HUD profiles menu that indicates that PT4 should start working on pre-populating HUD popups immediately, rather than waiting until a user clicks on the popup? It seems like this would be trivial to implement, and based on reading through forum posts, would make a lot of your power users happy. Alternatively, could you make it so that PT4 does not calculate all values for all popups at once prior to loading any individual popup? That way we could associate different popups with different HUD elements, and thus skirt around the popup delay problem that custom stat users are experiencing. I love PT4 and think you guys did a fantastic job, but it is frustrating to have PT4 HUD popups be a huge downgrade from PT3's.

X-post...second the OP!

What doesn't seem to happen though (at least not for me) is pop-up "preloading" before use. What I mean by this is the following is...

I sit at a table, after a hand, the always visible element of the HUD shows up. Then I start my session, and say even after 5/10/15 minutes of sitting there, I get to a decision whereby I need to check a very specific stat stored in a pop-up e.g. Fold to 4bet when they are on the button and 3bet my CO open. I click my pop-up associated with that kind of information and the stats aren't filled. Now if I only have a few thousand hands on a villain, with my high spec pc, the pop-up will then fill nearly immediately. However, if I have over 100k hands, which I do against the regs I play a lot against, it can take a long time (something longer than the time bank allows) for the pop-up stats to fill.

What I don't understand is, while I have been sitting there for 5/10/15 minutes, why the pop-up stats haven't been pre-filled ready for action. The other members of the table are known and over the course of 5 minutes there has to be low demand periods on the database, whereby PT4 can send requests for all known players pop-ups stats.

Thus, what I end up doing, is having to go around when I first sit at a table and click on a pop-up of a reg I have lots of stats on to force PT4 to fill them, so that further along in a session the stats are ready for a tough decision, rather than timing out. The problem with this is when I am 12 tabling it is very difficult to keep this up, in addition to playing, thus I still get plenty of instances whereby I click for my pop-up and the stats aren't there, causing distraction and sub-optimal play
