  When i am playing an individual tournament or match play my meter is fine, but if it involves playing in a group of three or four, meter goes nuts!  Does anyone know what i can do to solve this problem?  My brouser is google, if that needs to change please let me know.  Thanks

  hi

  it's hard to pinpoint an issue. it could depend on many things such as your computer, internet connection, browser and several other elements. I would recommend trying different browsers and seeing if that helps.

  Curtis, my meter is like yours 98% of my meter skips, freezes, stutters happen in multi-player, particularly Alt Shot with 4 players.   I might get one metered shot per MP round.  WGT's code is doing a lot more in MP (the chat, shot timer, etc.) and my CPU usage is higher in MultiPlayer than single play. 

  Things you could try are:

  -turn on hardware acceleration (right click in the game window select Settings),

  -close the chat window during your shot (still get the blinking orange light),

  -play on a smaller window definitely not full screen

  -pause for a few seconds at the top of the power bar to allow your CPU to complete whatever work it is doing before releasing

  -Minimize the number of friends on your list (I try, unsuccessfully btw, to keep it to 40 friends or below)

  -Make sure the game client is the only WGT browser window open during a game.

  All good advice AS...and I do all of the above in general except friends list under 40..

  However strangely enough I've not been so worried about my scoring lately so playing u tube music in chrome while playing in Max and typing on the forum at the same time !!!..

  Not a judder on meter....sometimes there seems to be no rational behind it ))
