Following the recent release of the updated version of Funbridge for PC, many of you have become familiar with reorganised game modes and new game options.
To help you through this process, this month we have decided to focus on the settings of the Funbridge software.
How to access the settings?
Click on the menu symbolised by the triple bar at the top left of your home screen. Once the menu is open, click “Settings” to access them.
Bidding and card play conventions
Here you can set the conventions that you would like to play.
Choose among the 8 bidding systems and the 2 card play systems available, or edit your conventions using the free profile.
Game table, display and ergonomics
Among other things, you can:
– Ask Funbridge to preselect the cards of the suit played (option available on PC only),
– Switch North and South when North is declarer.
This list is by no means exhaustive. We strongly encourage you to have a look at the numerous display and ergonomics options offered.

Enjoy playing tournaments on Funbridge!
During play the screen keeps freezing and does not recover. I have to withdraw and consequently receive a low percentage rating. Can this problem be fixed?
I have been playing funbridge for the past 3 years and now your new website
is not playing well. It keeps freezing and is a real disappointment. Prefer you go
back to the old website. I had paid yearly and if this game is now free, it is not worth
bothering with.
I have just downloaded the new version for android. It freezes at least once each hand. I can retrieve it by going to exit then returning but this is extremely tedious.
I also intensely dislike dummy flicking to the opening led suit before I can look at the hand.
I know I can go back but this is further tedium. I get the impression the new format is to favour touch screens and prevent erroneous play (having to click/touch k the card, it fans out the suit, click/touch again).
There are other quirks where it doesn’t bother to give you the result at the end of a hand, but the freezing problem is by far the worst.
