Re: Who the hell is Frankie and why are Mcdonalds popups affecting gameplay?

  Anyone else been playing and had a mcdonalds ad pop-up in the middle of the game?

  The pop-up is only an inch wide and it completely covers the information bar at the top of the in game screen. So the ad covers up all the vital info, wind speed and everything and clicking on the ad only makes the lag  and meter-stutter worse. The only solution is to x out of the game screen and start over.

  Anyone else ran into this?

  Haven't seen the Mickey-D's one yet, but I got this pop-up request for my opinion. It was cleared easy enough, but who in their right mind would expect someone to stop midway through an alt-shot competition to fill-out a survey!?

  Talk about getting "skewed opinions"! I'm sure this survey would be a "bust" because of all the negative vibes participants would share. lol   :/

  

  Edit: For clarity's sake (in case WGT is listening)... I dragged the pop-up window to this position for the screenshot... it originally "popped-up" covering the chat window.  -PA

  I got a few of these things pop up before In a RG tournament & thought how much more advertising is WGT going to do now , common this is to much putting adverts up when hitting the ball.

  I have pop ups turned of thought it was new & weird that these things were popping up every 4th - 5th shot right in the middle of taking a shot. 

  mine was something about improving your score card & if you clicked to get rid of it it still took you to the website before i new it had like 5 or 6 windows open. & some survey different to the one posted above why would I would to fill out a 20 min survey during a RG tournament ?

  You can not play around or enjoy a round with these things popping up all over the place & right when you are hitting or aiming the ball. Pulled out of the RG , to much adverts , meter was perfect before i started went to crap fast
