    Fair go WGT

    Ive spent nearly $200 on this game and every time I play in a tourny the meter stuffs up. I pay credits to play tournys, and buy the credits with cash. I would like value for money if you dont mind. Fix this swing meter problem PLEASE. I have lost single play tournys several times on the last hole because the damn meter. It is not my computer it must be a glitch in the game. Fix it or lose my future cash.

    Verry frustrated

    Hey WGT

    How about you put a system in place for when a person gets booted in challenge matches. Ive lost about 2000 credits so far due to this and its pissing me off. Tonight, i got booted after the first hole of a 333 credit game. Tried to get back on just to find i had forfeited yet again. Put a system in place that returns the credits to the players if they get booted. Keep ya frigging 10% if ya have too ya thieves, or better still get rid of the 10% cause you make enough money out of the equipment we have to keep buying to be competative.

    I am so so close to fukking this game right off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey Asthma, I can tell by your post that you are a little ticked. But your posting language will get you no where with the powers that be. I am just another player like you who has been booted out, had games crash, and played with friends with severe meter problems. The issues behind them are a mystery as to whether or not it is a WGT problem or your computer. If you have other apps running they will use up valuable resources that will affect your meter for sure, you might want to check that out. Things such as Skype if you use this to talk on while playing for instance. You need to insure that you have enough ram memory to handle the the resources you use. If you only have say 1 meg that is not enough. I have 4 and find that to be adequate , even using Skype, however my sister only has one and if we are using Skype to talk while playing her meter screws up every time. When we shut it off, the problem is solved. If your ram memory is low , you will need to increase it as much as you can, This is not too costly, and will make all programs run smoother. You may already know all this so forgive me if you do.  Also be sure that your flash settings are correct. There is information on how to do this in the forums, just do a search for " flash settings.  I hope this may help.   Good Luck.

    Personally  i  dont think  well im sure its  WGT  fault,i an many others have descent  pc,s with nothing running either,Yet it  still  has Problems with the meter.  Thers    far too many  people complaining about this over the last  8  months an it really needs sorting out. I dont feel  its fair for Paying  Customers thats keeping this Site going. surely the Hosts WGT  should resolve this problem  asap,if they ever take note of these posts that is,as ive never seen them reply too  one Yet.  You  as a Paying Customer shouldnt have too put up with FAULTY   good you  pay for.

    is there somewhere you can report this too trading standards or something,because if  i was paying for something and it was faulty  i would wont my money  back (refund)

    Hi

    I have a possible approach that WGT can take to solve the meter issue. I assume the issue is the same one that I have, ie it jumps just as you are about to hit and as a result you miss the ball badly - yes?

     

    Sometimes the internet connection fluctuates when you are taking a shot. You sometimes do not realise that and when you press to hit on the line, the thing jumps and you actually hit way off the mark. This often results in a shot out of bounds or in deep rough.

    Is it possible to give the players a chance to replay the shot? I understand that it could lead to people cheating, but if the game registers that you miss the mark by say 200% more than average, then the game could prompt you to have the option to replay (take a mulligan) on an 'honesty' basis - somewhat in line with the real game.

    The mulligans could be limited to say 2 per round.

    Is that something to be incorporated?

    Regards

    Adam
