AnaNikolaj: The funny thing is, the showdowns are played as a regular coin room game in Casablanca. People playing the showdowns can be matched with any player, just looking for a game in the Casablanca room. Therefore, coin room players already seem to have the ability to finish a round after a forfeit enabled?
In all three rooms the matching is like that, and it basically is a coin game. Same stakes as usual for the rooms and even have to play a tiebreaker that has nothing to do with the Showdown. So why the difference that sometimes the Showdown games can be played to a finish when other games can't? (lol, did I just answer your question with the same question?)
Could it be that whatever the "fix" (partial fix I suppose) is it's only put on during the showdowns, where the most complaints about this are generated? I really can't see why that would be but I'm certainly not a computer expert. Would there be a cost, either financial or in manpower, to run it?
