  Hi . I just got a HIO on a par 3 at St Georges, I clicked to see replay  on bottom left corner nothing happened , the  game just continued for my opponent to play

  After the hole was completed and score card came on I clicked on Save replay,, again NOTHING,, I just had to click continue to get on with the game.

  I have never had a problem before in saving a shot,is this another NEW problem since the latest WGT update with camera views, invite friends and sound effects.  ???

  hi

  can you try and see if you can save replay by going to the menu? and there you can watch it/save your last shot.

  While never having the exact same problem.

  I lost a replay lastnight.

  HIO on the 9th Chambers Bay

  I pressed Watch Replay bottom left

  Nothing hapened

  Was going to watch previous shot at the start of the 10th

  Turning the corner ad stopped that.

  In an MP game, there's only very limited time to save a replay (if any). Best chance may be from the menu while the scorecard is shown.

  Then, don't waste any time watching it. Choose "Share" and "copy (URL)" just to extract it before the game goes on and save it locally when it's other players' turn.

  If you let the opportunity pass, you've lost the replay. Happened to my first HIO, too. :(

  You can't watch a replay in an MP game as far as I'm aware, unless it's one of those instant replays for a humdinger of a shot.

  As icon stated you can save/share the replay from the drop down menu at the top left of the game window.

  With regards to the scorecard buttons not responding. I do get that problem occasionally. It seems to be that the clickable area for the buttons are sometimes not aligned with the graphic. So, if when you position your cursor over the button and it doesn't turn green and the cursor doesn't change to a hand, then that may indicate this has occured....as shown in the picture below.

  

  The trick here is to move the cursor up or down unti the button graphic turns green and your cursor changes to a hand, you can then click even though the cursor is not on the button on the scorecard....as shown in the picture below.

  

  As for the time you have to save a replay in a multiplayer stroke play game, there is a common misconception that you have to save your shot before the next shot is played, this is INCORRECT. You have until YOUR next shot is played or you move onto the next hole.

  If you click to save a replay after another player has played a shot, you will be saving YOUR last shot, not theirs.
