  Ok heres my two cents.....thanks for the balls but you messed up the gameplay. Hate the new dots on the green(almost distracts me more than helps me)

  Chip/ pitch dots gone....just a pain in the ***.

  Been playing with flash and cache clearing and game set up all day and can not get the game to play even half decent. Its really not even woth playing its that bad. Meter is the worst its been from what i can remember. Havent seen meter skips like this since i started.

  All in all another mess up if you ask me......why give us better balls than we have now?

  Do you want everyone to be shooting 45's from TL tees

  Unplayable is the only word that I can think of never had such a jerky meter since I started playing WGT.It seams to be worse after a replay for some reason

  I'm in the same position.

  Meter is the worst I've ever experienced today.

  I'm using MacBook Pro with Chrome (version 33.0.1750.117) and an older Flash (11,6,602,171). I've had issues with a strange process appearing in the Activity Monitor called Google Chrome Helper EH that takes up a large chunk of CPU %, and the computer fan goes into overdrive. In the past, it's been an intermittent issue, solvable by clearing caches, and rebooting everything... but today nothing seems to help, and it's just out of control.

  If anyone else has seen this, and can suggest a fix, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

  Today I cleared my cache/cookies just because I do it after every update.  But then my play now button wouldn't show up, just said 100% and stayed there.

   

  I ended up clearing my cache and all that once or twice more and everything started working normally.  No jitters or any other problems......as of now.  ;-)

   

  Ya never know, try clearing the cache/cookies more than once.  Could have been a fluke today, but it worked for me.

  Thanks for the suggestion Hazen... No luck so far...

  I'd definitely agree with this, happyman. Clicking View Replay seems to send my system into slow-mo; it does a total freeze for a while, presumably pondering how best to display the gorgeous new Watch and Pause buttons, and that's a time when my CPU goes ballistic.

  I made the mistake of wanting to see this putt on Kia #1 again, and then got this:

  

  ... and yes, I've tried the gameplay without having Firefox up as well. Makes no difference.

  I wish I knew how a computer process could use up over 100% of CPU, lol!

  Yep, meter is the worst i've had for months.

  As for the new putting grid problems im not getting the bigger dots and it's still on for chips, pitches, flops etc????

  Hey Corwyn, You know I know nothing about computers but I also had an issue viewing a replay then the game went into slow motion. The meter was fuzzy and really slow. I saved the game and cleared the flash and browser cache. Fired it back up and the game continued fine. I didn't view another replay just to get through the round. I use IE.

  i been using maxthon browser to play for last couple years, yesterday it would not load where you sign into play, I cleared adobe cache and still no luck. I am able to get logged on using google chrome but the meter is choppy. Anyone else use maxthon have any ideas?
