Seconded. (Thirded?) I've just upgraded to a new laptop, and the 720p cards are noticeably lo-res now. I'm not going to re-download most of them, which leaves me feeling like I've lost something I paid for. I'm certainly never going to buy any further ones. But I would pay something to upgrade a number of my old favourites, if that was what it took to make it worth Totem's time.

It does nothing if you have progressive hotness checked.

Unchecking progressive hotness allows the other settings to work as described.

Progressive hotness overriding other settings is a known issue in the GUI.

iN general...everything has it's time and place...common cents will tell you that moderation is key however common cents isn't always easy to cum by :D

@xerato It depends with me. I can sometimes use Istripper when I have to work on something really boring on my laptop and then It helps me to get through that. (the beautiful women put me in a better mood, I guess) So in that case it helps me to do useful things. Dont know if thats what u meant.

Hi there - I'd love to comment for myself that since I stripper, I watch less porn on the internet (especially videos - but I shall say 'generally') - due to finding Istripper more 'personal' which I love - It also brings me up to better vibes with myself and other people in general.

I also spend more time doing useful things
Who else feels the same?

The stupid previews are still playing even though I have them disabled...this new version sucks! (and not in a good way)

You are not informative nor funny. Please don't wink at me or reply to my posts. Thanks.

I'm not lazy but I don't check the forums everyday for new version release data that would tell me this if you even provide it. Like I said, just add a tab on the iStripper program that tells us all the cool things we can do with keyboard shortcuts or frequently ***** about issues solved by them.

Mila Azul, yeah! Finally :)

While I'm here, I have another complaint. I never knew after you disabled clips in the clips tab that you could right click on the trashcan in the details tab and delete the disabled clips. Why is this option not available in the clips tab?

Who thought it would be a good idea to make this a right click option that nobody knows about until they ***** in the forums? Who thought this would be a great idea to put in a tab other than the clips tab? Who thought this wouldn't be a great button to put in the CLIPS tab for us to easily see and use?

Really guys? This information was so little too late it's really annoying to say the least. You guys really need to disclose this kind of stuff in a place we can access on the iStripper app/program.

If it's a button you replaced with a keyboard shortcut or something we can do that's not obvious like right clicking the trashcan to delete disable clips then you need to make a seperate tab to let us know. Seriously, the more I find out in the forums vs your program/app, the more I get angry at the lack of information easily accessable to us. Pretend we are dumb and tell us everything we can do in one tab we can access on iStripper.

Thank you.

I'm at the point where I wish I could download the VG version 7-8 years ago and just use that. This is getting kind of ridiculous.

*I'm adding this post here because I was told to do so.

Background on why:

There are a lot of things you can do on iStripper that aren't obvious. You guys take away a lot of buttons to do things and replace it with keyboard key combinations that we/I never hear about or know.

An example is highlighting all of my cards to enable/disable. There used to be a button for this and now we have to hold down CTRL+A. This is not common knowlege for advanced uses like myself who have been a member for 10 years. Quit removing buttons that are commonly used with keyboard combinations.

If you are going to do so then add a tab for keyboard shortcuts like all vidoe games and give us a list of commands and what they do. You could have saved me a lot of time, trouble and effort if you would have done that. I'm down for changes and making VG/iStripper more steamlined and user friendly but you guys are really screwing up by getting rid of key buttons/options and making it harder than it needs to be.

so in other words "dont show any nudity unless i ask for it" does nothing, afterall you have to make your hotness setting "No Nudity", which does the same thing

Hi all! There are 2 very annoying bugs with the latest version of the program on my computer:
1- sometimes the show plays BEHIND the program window
2- last but not least, now it makes my windows explorer to crash when i try to get access from the taskbar..

Is there a fix for these issues?? Thanxx for your answers and Totem, keep up the good work :))

Are you absolutely sure it's redownloading them again, as opposed to being an instantaneous thing? It always shows a download icon whenever a preview cannot be normally be played, and merely needs to be clicked to enable it again.

Mila finally :))

For me the problem is also the fact that my HD would be used without any notification from the software: what is using it. I can write myself a script that would show me which cards still have a demo (even tough it's not visible in the application any more) but it's just feels weird. Alternative is like russian rullete: pressing preview -> will it download it again? Or just show? Am I feeling lucky? ;)

@kutta you’re still able to quickly go thru any amount of free previews you want, it’s just that there won’t be more than 7 at a given time on your screen (wich is for me already more than I can deal at once on my task bar). If you don’t ***** the P2P buffer to zero in the registry, any preview you’ve already downloaded comes instantly back on your screen, click on download preview which is instant since the data is already on your HD and then play.

I agree some free loaders, especially in certain countries, will never buy no matter what. But we’ve seen a significant decline in first buys on new comers since iStripper and its unlimited free previews and we need to fix it. Numbers will talk, but I think that, with the help of the community, and there is still tuning to be done, that we’re going in the right direction.

Oh ok, I was under the impression that it deletes the files for all previews except the 7 chosen. It must be a bug in the software then because when I try to play previews of a card (that I had previously downloaded) it usually wants to download it all over again. Which is very annoying and hopefully addressed in the next update

Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely try that.

Not sure why it isn't working. Could be a bug.

It may have to do with "levels of eroticism" and "progressive hotness", above "Don't show any nudity unless I click to see it" in settings.

If you set levels of eroticism to "no nudity" only and uncheck the rest of the boxes that works as I have tried it just now.

Also, you have to uncheck "progressive hotness" as that overrides "levels of eroticism" and may also override the "Don't show any nudity" button as well.

Update:

I just tried it with "progressive hotness" checked and "Don't show any nudity" checked as well. Got to see Lady Dee wearing nothing but a smile.

It seems "progressive hotness" also overrides "Don't show any nudity" as well as "levels of eroticism".

Uncheck "progressive hotness" and the rest should work ok.

I reported this issue several months ago and it is supposed to be on "the list" of things to be dealt with "soon",

I click the "Don't show any nudity unless I click to see it." button and iStripper still shows full nudity. What is the functionalitiy of this button?

@Rex,

The 7 preview limit has not bothered me. I typically download half a dozen new cards at a time. I view each preview once or twice and make my buying decision. From that point on I'm no longer interested in those previews.

Unfortunately you have a lot of customers and they use iStripper in many different ways. Some of them are upset because they must now change the way they use iStripper and the new way is less comfortable for them. I believe one person made a good point saying there should be a way to tag a card as "see it, don't like it". Sort of an anti-wish list. Given his work style that makes sense to me, but it's not something I need. Any card I don't buy in the first 30 days falls into that category so I don't need a special mark.

There still seems to be a problem, perhaps Mac only, playing a preview I have previously seen. I'm still getting the attached error message. I understand I can solve this by deleting the models folder for that card, but that's too much effort for me so I simply don't buy the card.

The wish list and anti-wish list are special cases of a more general capability I've requested in the past. I'd really like the ability to tag any card on my computer with as many tags as I wish to add and to search on those tags. If I had this I wouldn't need a separate wish list and I could do a lot more as well. I find this so useful that I created an Access Data Base to provide that capability. Since I run iStripper on my Mac and I can only run Access in a Windows virtual machine, this is more than a bit awkward to use. I run iStripper on two Macs, but I don't need to share tags between my two computers. The Tags can reside in the iStripper data folder of the computer on which I enter them.

I also agree that the user's manual leaves a lot to be desired. Programmers ***** to document. I should know I've been programming many programmers my first language is code and English (my "native" language) is really a second language to me. You're challenge is many time worse since you must document in more than half a dozen languages. However, it must be done. Perhaps you could solicit some documentation beta testers from this forum. I'd be willing to provide feedback.

We did not expect such negative feedback about this version. We followed the beta releases protocol, versions with the new Preview tab and 7 previews limitations have been released in bugs & fixes for the last two months without much negative feedback.

Please keep in mind Totem has to manage lots of different types of users to stay in business, from free loaders to advanced collectors. Totem would not exist without its paying customers, but it would not exist either without a continuous input of new users that start buying at some point. I understand everyone wants free unlimited access to everything, but there was a lot of ***** with the free previews (hundred thousands of accounts with thousands of free demos a not a single sale, thousands of diamond accounts now only collecting previews) and we’ve been saying for months we’d eventually have to limit it.

Upgrade to this version is not mandatory, and we provide a forum exactly for this, to discuss with our members. Offering the update in the software without explanations on its content was a mistake, we’ll upgrade our update system to be able to describe the content of the updates in the future.

Push of Previews is intended for new users, because we see 80% of them going idle after a few preview downloads and never make a purchase. We want them to feel they are in a strip club and there are new girls showing up on stage every 10 minutes PLUS they can go pickup any in the catalog. Paying customer can and should if they feel like it disable the push. I understand when you are a paying member than you don’t want random girls on stage but rather pick them up one by one. I don’t understand the ***** from paying members tho, if you don’t want free previews to be pushed, just choose « Never » in advanced settings.

7 Previews at a time rather than unlimited is of course a step back, but it was ***** the company that provides you new models every day and we had to end it. Wishlist is there now for you to mark the girls that might interest you (the bug has been fixed). As I said above, since we switched from VirtuaGirl (where NO preview could be chosen and 10 previews were pushed every day no matter what) to iStripper (where you can freely choose to download any preview without any limitation and NO preview was pushed) we saw hundred thousands of accounts with thousands of free demos a not a single sale, thousands of platinum+ accounts now only collecting previews and over 80% of new users converting far less than before just because they had to actively seek girls to see new previews.

Being able to disable Free Previews individually is missing, we agree, it will be added, probably through a delete button in the Previews.

We rely on P2P to be able to show free previews to new users and new users and vital to our business, hence the 20Gb of data kept on your hard drive to be shared with others through P2P. We also understand people who don’t want to help us sharing their disk space and we’ll provide this week the registry key you can edit to put this value as low as zero.

We plan to experiment discounts in the pushed previews in the next release, I hope you’ll enjoy that.

Just go back to the old VGHD method if it is ***** the business. But I would provide pictures for each model, and try to improve on the review system so there is at least one objective reviewer, a person that can point out the best cards in a series and such. Also, there are 3 hour youtube videos online that show all of the new demos, and I think they show some non-demo clips as well., you may want to get these shutdown because if people are freeloading off of the program demos they can now just watch them on youtube.

@Rex "We want them to feel they are in a strip club and there are new girls showing up on stage every 10 minutes PLUS they can go pickup any in the catalog."

I really don't think you should have allowed 720p cards to have showed up in the Push, they really are that outdated compared to current cards. Even the 2k15 "Crystal Clear" tier cards are noticeably less clear than those from mid-2k16 onwards.

I think that is what most people don't get. You don't have to upgrade every time a version comes out. I think I can count on 3 fingers the times where you had to upgrade or the program would stop working. In the 9 years I have been here that aint bad.

On a side note, that new feature where the girls spin and all of their clothes come off is absolutely AWESOME! I love it and don't ever get rid of it.

Not sure what to expect yet as Totem said these new image processing improvements will come in future cards. As a former QA tester, that could be anything between next week or 2/3 months away. I guess it's just wait and see ;)

@LondoBaron

I am *****.

I thought that if you owned at least one card you could stop the automatic loading of previews. Are you saying that isn't true?

You can set the Previews to never, and that stops any new ones.
but the Ones already on you Preview list, will have to Manually be removed.

Go to Settings ( the Coged Wheel Icon )
check Advance Settings box
Scroll down to Controls
drop down the Contextual Menu
Add the Enable / Disable option to the right click menu.
Then one at a time, play a preview, right click on it, then select Disable from the Wheel.

I'm behind Rex on this. I was one of the people that had all of the previews downloaded but I was ALSO purchasing. I don't mind losing all that work downloading them all. I hardly ever watched them anyway.

Rex did what he had to do to stay in business. Back when I frist joined, like Rex stated, you were ***** previews and it was kind of annoying not being able to see a preview of a card you were interested in. I have no problems with getting rid of the freeloaders that just download previews and don't contribule to sales and keeping VG/iStripper in business.

I don't want to see them go out of business and I'm sure none of you do either. Just let them do what they need to do. As far as bugs go, just report it and let them fix it. They can't wave a magic wand and fix it overnight...

I understand the logic behind the whole limiting of previews etc., but, given the choice, rather not have to deal with this right now and stick to the old version; and appreciate that update is not mandatory. Having said this: can anyone report obvious benefits of the new version, i.e. features/fixes that compensate what Totem had to change about the previews? I am writing this as a user who is enjoying the version before the update (.148) and is not experiencing any of the bugs listed as fixed. I guess the image processing is the major change, so the question (hard to answer right now) would be what impact does that have, will future releases look horribly off color-wise on the .148 version of the software, does anybody have any info familiar with the process, details involved?

Thanks in advance, red

@Rex
Reading people's reactions, it is not really the limitation to 7 that is protested about.
Think the majority of cutomers understand, that you can not run a business, without selling anything, once in a while. ;>)
The protesting is about users not being able to choose for themselves.
Whether it is deleting previews, not receiving them (some even seem to think they are ***** to buy the previwed/pushed cards...), not wating to recieve them, not wanting to see them unless specifically asked for, etc. - it is not about the limitation itself...
I have NOT updated, so a little on unknown ground, but it does seem there is very bad communication about how the new things function (and actually the help-section - User manual - even in previous version, is not really up to date...) - and from some of the protests, it might seem, that things are not actually functioning as intended...

The limiting of the number of active previews, is also a limitation, of the way some of us used to select cards to buy.
Guess there will always be resistance to changes - especially when one is ***** to "work" differently than one is use to. Changing produres is not always welcome.
The preview option was used to not only preview cards, but also as a mark of interest.
So give us an alternative way of marking cards ourselves, so we can preview and sort cards - the wishlist alone is not detailed enogh (for some of us at least). It could be for instance, after previewing a card, i give it x number of stars (or just the number, actually) - but only to myself, and so that I can see this evaluation when watching the wishlist.

@Madblade666 What do you do, if there are more cards you want to buy, but have to wait to a later date?

@kutta you’re still able to quickly go thru any amount of free previews you want, it’s just that there won’t be more than 7 at a given time on your screen (wich is for me already more than I can deal at once on my task bar). If you don’t ***** the P2P buffer to zero in the registry, any preview you’ve already downloaded comes instantly back on your screen, click on download preview which is instant since the data is already on your HD and then play.

I agree some free loaders, especially in certain countries, will never buy no matter what. But we’ve seen a significant decline in first buys on new comers since iStripper and its unlimited free previews and we need to fix it. Numbers will talk, but I think that, with the help of the community, and there is still tuning to be done, that we’re going in the right direction.

91's answer will work of course :)

This issue has been spread over at least 3 threads now in the last few days. Still appears that not everybody is getting all the answers...

So, I'm going to post this complete solution one last time. There's only so much I can do without losing it! Kidding :)

Rex has posted a few hours ago to help appease a few members... yep. On a Sunday! :

https://www.istripper.eu/forum#/forum/thread/35636/last#post524923

Now. If you have ever bought one card, not new cards after this release, any card in the past which makes you Bronze or above you can disable the Preview Push in Advanced settings. See screencap...

To disable free previews, ie., stop them playing when you want, you can do this by right clicking a playing demo and click on the checkmark once or twice and that will disable the demo until you want to play it again. See the other 2 screencaps :)
You may have to check the enable/disable option in the Advanced settings area...

That's all, folks! :)

@Rex I see the logic behind limiting the demos to 7 because of "free loaders" but I think a large portion of new & current customer solely rely on access to demos to make a decision on their purchase.

For example, the sale that was offered a couple of weeks ago for all 2016 cards being discounted, I was able to quickly go thru many of the 2016 cards and decide on the 10 I wanted to buy. If I didn't have this ability, as it is right now, I would've been much less inclined on making a decision on the 10 cards to choose.

Also, I honestly believe users who are "free loaders" will remain as such, they never intend on making a purchase.. The fact that there's no nudity in the previews is enough to push users who really want the content to make the purchase. iStripper is not a car dealership where it costs money to test drive the cars. I do believe providing total access to demos along with good offers in the weekend sales will keep most of customer base that make purchases more inclined to adding to their collection.

Merry Pie
