Cas57:Everything else I do on this machine works just fine so what's up with WGT, any ideas?
I don't know if WGT changed something in their version of the game that automatically updates or loads a new version to your machine... if it requires different settings or has some kind of bug in it... because I had similar observations as yourself.
I contacted our internet service provider to ask them for tips or advice explaining this is a new version of the WGT golf game that ran on Flash before ... I don't know exactly what they did, but they appeared to "reconfigure" or change some settings on the service provided and it seemed to resolve the loading issues.
The issues resumed a few days later and I called the internet provider again, and they made another adjustment... the game has appeared to be running fine since then.
Sorry I can't give specifics, maybe I am not deemed smart or tech savvy enough to understand what or how they "reset" or reconfigured things... but since they can tweak increase or decrease your upload and download speeds based on how much you pay.. there are likely other settings that may require adjustment....
So I suggest you try sharing what you have with your service provider and see if they can smooth things out... if everything else appears fine.
the issue with this... it adds a whole extra layer of issues and problems and "system requirements" beyond just a person's personal computer but also the internet providers settings for your service. So far, it has smoothed things out for me when using the EA version of the game.
