Observer Comments
Tue Mar 25, 2008 2:14 pm Subject: Caveat Emptor - Look for Patch
The boxed (retail) version of Hoyle Card Games has a bug: the hands dealt are not random - you'll sometimes see the exact same hands over and over.
Encore has released a patch for this software, but it was only for the Windows version (last I saw). Make sure the Mac version is also patched.
Maybe somebody from Encore could respond. . .
Chas is absolutely right. If you select the same opponent and the same game, you will get the same card sequence. I'm getting really good at playing a particular sequence of Cribbage hands, but it does lack a certain challenge after awhile.
Oh...and the tech support at Hoyle Card Games is virtually non-existent. They may have tech support people, but they don't answer their emails.
