    Raelenerose:

    Thanks for the song Mr Ton..hadn't heard it for a while.

    As for the debacle of WGT issues.

     If you have never had any of the afore mentioned complaints .you should consider yourself very fortunate and not belittle those that are having issues..where is the love?

    I will explain this in simple words for you fella, i quoted the guy's 'will i am' post.

    Will I Am is in the black eyed peas, that was the joke, nothing more and nothing personal to the poster.

    So please dismount your high horse and stop being vicariously offended. You may not get my humour, that's not your fault,  but projecting false meanings or insinuations onto my joke looks stupid. Thank's for your concern and taking the time out to voice it. But ultimately...a swing and a miss.

     

    Oh by the way, the game's a fkn mess WGT please get it sorted.

    Thanks for the song Mr Ton.

    Always brightens your day doesn't he??  But he was not aiming anything at you just being funny

    Raelenerose:
    every other issue i have had with playing this game has been some magical problem somewhere between my computer and wgt land(and i'm so lucky that the current problem at the time doesnt affect any other site or game i visit) although the problems always seem to dissappear with a wgt update/maint or 1 solved problem then leads to a new 1 or 2 ,but it is never wgt's fault.

    Spot on with what you're saying.  We get told to "clear our cache" as If Its some miracle cure to everything.  As Bollox was saying earlier too, I rarely clear my cache only after updates so if i do clear my cache do I notice any difference??

    Raelenerose:
    My computer i now use is way better than the one  i first used when i started playing this game ,but alas it plays much the same.

    Same here still my meter is not 100% smooth (will It ever be???) but to be fair to WGT my better PC has made game load much quicker and  don't get me wrong, the game plays flawlessly apart from my meter wanting to kick 3/4 way down or a little stutter most the time.  My Callaway Big Bertha is the only club i have which will give me a smooth meter all the time

    Raelenerose:
    Iv'e been disconnected/booted from games with no option to get back many many times and also booted from games then booted again before you can play the next shot until alas i discoed 3 times your disqualified..how hard are they up for cash really.

    I wont play skins any more because I'm afraid one of us will get booted, BUT i played matchplay last night and opponent got disconnected but we got taken back to game menu OK so "HOPEFULLY" fingers crossed the problem is fixed.

    Raelenerose:
    Now having said all of that, this sadly is the best online golf game there is at the moment (it could be so much better though IMO) and its my choice to play it and i do ..why because i have made many many good friends within the wgt community and on occassions the game can be fun ,and it can be very frustrating when the game has issues..So as i said if your fortunate enough to have no issues or very few issues or have never encountered the issues that another member is encountering please dont be belittling those that do, try sitting back and chuckling to yourself while you thank your lucky stars that youv'e been blessed....thats where the love is.

    Yes well said

    got ad block ty if you had read second of all my net runs at 1.5 meg a second more than ample to facilitate a game like this . as people are playing on much slower connections. move to a city hahahaha go be a wage slave I don't have to be .

    funny that people in the city with wired connections having the same issues .. done ping and flash tests all ok .

    enjoy your over priced house and mortgage (mortgage = mort when you will die gage how long they think you can pay) . just don't like paying for things and not getting the service .. but hey most aussie getting spineless it seems .30km from a city too by the way .

    got new service starting tomorrow see how that goes 3x data for same cost

    enjoy the rat race . personally I think its crap . was raised in city and country .know whats better for you .

    oh and beware the housing buble

    Mate hope the new service works out,can get a telstra package bundle with ya house phone unlimited local calls and $20 to mobiles per month ,and unlimited internet for $120 a month really thats not bad for stable connection and can run wifi through the house. This my wifi results from over end of the house away from router.

    Few tricks,help run faster left adjust graphics for best performance click thumbnail preview though or is pain to see what files what,and to right if connection slow anytime can connect  to google dns for stable fast connection.

    1.5mb really isnt alot mate for this game to be honest,As far as city life  and housing mortgage rates lowest they have been in over the last 50 years.

    30 years of paying off a house or leasing it out then its owned and when you kick the bucket your kids can be sitting on a cool mill and have the conveniences of  every job opportunity for their future.City life aint that bad..

    Hope that helps some,all the best with ya new connection mate cheers.

    And yes there is problems with multiplayer games being booted and not being able to recontinue have experienced also.

    Just saw this post. Last week I experienced two separate disconnects. One was while playing a 9 hole MP. On the 7th hole I receive a "WGT has experienced a difficulty, please try again later" screen. I immediately close the screen, click "play now" from my profile page, and the lobby page appears with no "Continue Screen." I check my profile page, along with my opponents (fellow CC member) and the game is not recorded on either page.

    Second instance was during a stroke round with two other players. 5th hole, game drops. I get back on within 60 seconds, and screen says I forfeited because I did not return in time.

    As others have stated, yes, I know how to resume a game if dropped. But you cannot resume a game if WGT does not acknowledge a game took place.

    Wow, cheerleaders out in full force i see here. Pitty really that as long as you enable them, the game will continue to be pooched forever.

    They broke it, it really is that simple, who knows why, but they broke it plain and simple, and they broke it 2 updates ago.

    rather funny as last 2 days been rather good . and my results better than 51% of all Australians .. if you look you'll find 4g aint that available here . infact this morning I was waiting for others ..  you are also in the usa   and so wgt says distance from server affects ... ping time is more than enough as we talking milliseconds .the download speed aint that bad compared to the other that actually published results and my upload 5x better.. hence why I have complained . do the test and publish direct from site to here . made tour pro this morning im happy
