Setup program

1. The distribution and portable version of the program differ only in the installation method. Before you install, you need to close the room and iPoker Tools program.

• • Distribution

    • if the distribution is archived (Setup_ipt.zip), unpack it

    • run Setup_ipt.exe as administrator

    • select any language (it is only for the installer)

    • if the first installation of the program, then select the folder for installation (the folder path must contain only English letters, for example, C:\Poker\iPoker Tools)

    • the installation folder will be written to the registry and in subsequent installations will be read from the registry

    • a shortcut will be created for the ipt.exe file on the desktop

    • if the first installation, then do not start the program and go to setting the program (point #2)

  • Portable version

    • the portable version is available only in the archive (Portable_ipt.zip)

    • if the first installation of the program, then create a folder for the program (the folder path must contain only English letters, for example, C:\Poker\iPoker Tools)

    • copy the contents of the archive to the program folder

    • for the ipt.exe file create a shortcut on the desktop

    • if the first installation, then do not start the program and go to setting the program (point #2)

2. Add the iPoker Tools program folder to the antivirus exceptions (if used). Windows 10 has a built antivirus "Windows Defender" (Microsoft Defender).

3. Configure the launch of the program as administrator. To do this:

• • right-click on the program shortcut on the desktop (or in Windows Explorer by file ipt.exe) and select "Properties".

  • on the "Compatibility" tab, enable:

    • in Windows 7,8 "Privilege Level" > Run this program as administrator

    • in Windows 10 "Settings" > Run this program as an administrator

  • if you configure it differently, the status bar of the program will say "Not Admin".

4. Warning !!! If, while running iPoker Tools, you plan to launch programs that take screenshots/videos, switch keyboard layouts or mouse buttons, work with hotkeys, then such programs also need to be configured to run as administrator. Otherwise, there may be problems with the operation of hot keys in the program.

5. If you use a VPN (Virtual Private Network), then close it. Always run the program first, and then the VPN.

6. Run the program. When you start the program for the first time, a window should appear for entering Login and Password. Enter the Login and Password of the license (if there is no license, then Login: demo and Password: demo). If you entered incorrect data or the login window does not appear, then you need to close the program and run ipt_reset_login.bat (located in the iPoker Tools program folder). After a successful launch of the program, the license Login is saved in the Login.txt file, and the license Password is not saved in clear text anywhere, so you need to save them somewhere yourself.

7. If the program does not start or starts with errors, then you need to go to the "FAQ" section on the site and see the solution to the problem.

8. Look in the program in the status bar for the version. If it says something like this: "> version 100 (new 101)", it means that version 100 is installed, but there is a newer version of program 101 (you need to download the current version and install). All changes in the program are written here.

9. Select the language of the room in the program on the Utils - Language - room tab, it must match the room settings.

10. Enable the option "Seat of hero in center" in the program on the Table - HUD tab, it must match the room settings, the location of the HUD for the players depends on it. This option was removed in version 211 of the program.

11. Enable the "Convert chips" option in the program on the "General" tab for testing (do not enable the "Auto Start" option) and configure it as written here.

12. Start the room (it should be configured as written here) and log in to it. The message "Lobby:" and the name of the room should appear on the desktop in the tray. If there is no program icon in the tray or the notification does not appear, then you need to enable the show of the program icon and notifications in the tray.

13. Click "Start" in the program. Warning !!! Tables can be opened only after clicking on "Start". If you click "Stop" while the program is running, then all open tables must be closed - the program will no longer work with them.

14. Open any table. Stacks, bets, pot must be in the big blinds.

15. If you are using a 2K or 4K monitor, or display scaling is enabled, then click on "Stop" in the program.

• • a debug.log file will be created in the program folder, in which you need to find a line like this: "96, 2560x1440" and compare the real resolution of the monitor with the specified value (in the example, the resolution is 2560x1440)

  • if the resolution of the monitor does not match, then you need to close the program and go to the "Compatibility" tab in the program properties (as in #3 Configure the launch of the room as administrator)

  • enable the option "Disable display scalling on high DPI setting" (in Windows 10, you need to click on "Change high DPI settings", enable "Overwrite high DPI scaling behavior" and select below in the drop down "Application")

  • run the program, click "Start" and "Stop", and check the debug.log file

  • if Windows 10 and the resolution do not match, then go to step "if the resolution of the monitor does not match..." and change the value in the drop down list to the following
