wtiger22:
I have played wgt on my very elderly xp computer for a couple of years.
It has always performed and run pretty well (apart from the occassional meter stutter)
However just this past week, the game has been running absolutely abominably, the meter is stuttering so badly that i am peppering shots all over the place, the load times between shots is dreadful and the holes take so long to load that i could literally have a cup of tea between holes!
Has anyone else noticed a deterioration in perfomance?
and more importantly, has anyone got any tips as to how i can rectify the issues.
I dont want to have to give up on the game...but running as it is, makes it pretty much unplayable?
