06.05.2012 - Merge Network Update
Today, the Merge Network is releasing a very big update which completely changes their lobby.
The good news is I have had the beta for a few days and I am almost finished adding support for the new lobby :)
If you would like to test when it is ready, please check on my forum, or check back on this news article, which I will update with more information. I expect a build should be ready to test by tonight or tomorrow morning.
Update 5/06: I am still working hard on the update, it is a bit more work than I expected, because the "real" playerlist only shows 5 players, I am developing a method to read the table image on the right side of the playerlist. I do think I will be able to post something to the forum tonight.
Update 05/06: A Merge fix is finally ready for testing :) Get it here:

Once again I have to release another update before v1.0 because of today's PokerStars update :)
Unfortunately, I had some complications with moneybookers, I will not be able to accept them, I had a fully approved merchant account (which was very hard to get), but they are no longer doing business with anyone in the USA who has any relation to any gambling whatsoever.
The good news is I just got approved yesterday with a much better and bigger credit card processor (Authorize.net), and I also have Paypal. I am finishing up integrating it into my system now, once I finish that I will be releasing v1.0 in the next few days :)

I apologize for the delay with this update, I was planning to release this as version 1.0 a few days ago, it is ready to go, but I ran into a delay with one of the payment processors I was planning on using.

But you can expect another update to v1.0 in the next week or so :)

I'd like to make a special note to anyone reading this about the upgrade of the Npgsql API, which is what TableScan uses to connect to your database. Apparently, the old version was causing a serious issue that TableScan has always had, where on slower computers it would not finish a scan with the option "Give Tablescan threads Highest priority" turned off. So, I would highly recommend that anyone who has had lag issues should try turning that option off in this new version.

• Fixed a bug where a table HUD might not close with a table if the player list was open
• Fixed an issue where TableScan would not recognize some of Microgaming's new tables when open
• Fixed an issue where TableScan would not recognize Microgaming "mini-view" tables
• Fixed a bug where TableScan would not save the iPoker option to end scan after X empty tables
• Fixed a bug in Bodog OCR where TableScan could show the chips inside the playername
This has been a very sad week for online poker but I'd like to assure everyone that I am committed to continuing to improve TableScan, and making it a commercial software in the very near future.
From what I can tell a large majority of TableScan users are from countries other than the USA, so I feel somewhat lucky in that respect. My thoughts are currently with the USA players who have all their money stuck in limbo right now.
I've added support for Merge network in this update, but there are two functionalities which I have not yet finished:
1) The ability of TableScan to detect if you are on the waitlist of a table
2) The "Leave waitinglist" functionality
I have had quite a bit of difficulty figuring out how to do both of these, but I think you will find it is otherwise quite usable. I'll be spending most of my time the next few days trying to get these features working properly.

One nice thing I want to point out is that in Full Tilt's latest update, it seems as if they've fixed the memory leak that they've had for quite some time, meaning that it doesn't seem to get laggy or crash after many hours of use. If you were having that problem, let me know if it's still happening.
01.21.2011 - RC3 Released
• Fixed support for PokerStars' latest update

• You can now import to your Buddy List from HM scanner buddylist files, at Configure > Buddy List > Options > Import
• Slightly improved efficiency of scanning on Full Tilt Poker
• Slightly improved HUD efficiency
• Removed option: Move Pokerstars lobby offscreen when I have tables open. Unfortunately, when the lobby is off-screen, PokerStars seems to be drawing the player list very slowly, and TableScan is not able to read the playerlist correctly with the new method. I will look into trying to make this option work again in the next version
• TableScan's HUD is no longer shown on Full Tilt Poker Rush Tables
• Fixed support for Microgaming anonymous tables
• Fixed an issue where TableScan could show a slightly lower VPIP and PFR for players than HM when using a HM database, due to a small change made in the formula for VPIP and PFR by HoldemManager
I apologize for the delay in getting this PokerStars fix, it was one of the most challenging tasks I've ever faced while working on TableScan, and I have been working non-stop to fix it since they released their update.
I'm very happy to say that I have developed a new method for reading the player list, which is much faster than the previous method, and is 100% accurate. I have done my best to test and fix any bugs in this new version, and I think it should work well for everyone. I'd love to hear some feedback, please let me know if it's working for you, or if you find any bugs.
01.15.2011 - Status of PokerStars update
I have been working hard to fix the issues caused by the latest PokerStars update, and I have created a version that works great on Windows 7 or Windows Vista:
Download Update RC2 b3 (FOR WINDOWS 7 OR WINDOWS VISTA USERS)
I have found that there is a problem on Windows XP, because it is missing the new font that PokerStars uses in the playerlist, it will show a different font. So, it is going to take me a few more days before I can release an official update (RC3) with support for Windows XP.
Windows XP Workaround
If you are using Windows XP, there is a workaround you can use to get it working now:
1) Download the missing font here: Download Font
2) Place the font in your C:\Windows\Fonts\ directory.
3) Restart PokerStars, and you should be able to scan with RC2 b3 using the latest version of PokerStars.
01.12.2011 - PokerStars update issues
PokerStars latest update does not work with the current version of TableScan. It might take me more than one day to fix it, as they made some significant changes.
My suggestion is to roll back to the previous version of PokerStars, for the next few days. Here is how you can do that:
1) Close PokerStars
2) Navigate to your PokerStars directory. It should be at
C:\Program Files\PokerStars
3) Find the folder named "backup", and enter it
4) Copy the contents of the backup folder, then go back to the main folder, and paste the contents of the backup folder into the main folder.
5) Now, do not run PokerStarsUpdate.exe. Make sure you manually run PokerStars.exe.
Using this method you will be able to use the previous version of PokerStars for the next few days while I work on the fix :)

12.06.2010 - PokerStars & Full Tilt update issues
PokerStars' latest update has significantly changed the lobby, temporarily breaking support for TableScan Turbo. I am working on it now and will release an update the second I'm finished. Unfortunately it requires some major changes so it may take me a few days.
Full Tilt's latest update also caused a small problem, some tables are being scanned with duplicate players from other tables. It's relatively rare but a serious bug nonetheless which I am also aware of. I'll be working non stop until these problems are resolved.
