  The issues the past few days is not WGT's fault. Even without WGT's updates the FLASH issue would have still reared its ugly head no matter what.

  If they were paying attention to what's going on in Adobe they would have previewed the latest Flash release and found it sucked.  Then WGT could have warned their customers (us) to shut off auto updates of flash and avoid much of this hassle.

  I just had a pop-up ad for the new Speed Boost feature.  Could have just as easily been a notice to avoid 11.3 Flash.

  There's been issues with 11.3 and FireFox since June so really nothing new.

  Yeah exactly but its still not their fault . But yes a software company should not release anything affecting gameplay until after the dust settles. I agree totally and like I said in another thread . If I were a Boss at WGT somebody's head would have been rolling yesterday morning.

  But it is exactly 0% WGT's fault this time.

  Huh?  If you were running WGT you'd fire someone but its not WGT's fault?  I don't understand that.

  But then there's lots I don't understand.  Like where's Lizzie?  Are those aliens on Kiawah?  Why did WGT develop speed boost?  Who asked for it?  Where are my car keys?

  Perhaps it has not affected you but if it does, your opinion may be different. I guess you have a connection and received all your clubs for free but I have purchased a few sets and have spent some money. Free?? Lets see how you compete with your starter equipment. But it sucks to spend money and time on here and the next day, it performs like crap. I have had very few issues with the game but have not played one game since these changes occurred. When you are dealing with a specific problem that can relate to what another person is dealing with, then your opinion may mean something but when you do not have a dog in the race, why even get involved. Especially if you cannot help. I am sure WGT is very happy that you are backing them in this issue and will probably do nothing about it since you are happy. I just want to know how you got that free gear you play with. I honestly thought WGT is here to make money, which they should be. If you buy a car and pull off the lot and it falls apart and some guy drives buy and tells you to stop whining because his car is driving fine does that  make sense? I do not know who is to blame for this and I am not very computer savvy so I am trying to get this figured out. So I am reading these threads in hope to get it figured out. But I appreciate your post and it is nice that your game was not affected.

  Here is a secret link, just for WGT. I got it through reliable sources but it was not cheap. I expect to be payed in balls, Nike's please. Here goes:

  Yes, it is  the NEXT Flash version. Use it for some internal testing

  Guys why you read out of context ? I would have been mad because I would not have allowed an update to be done until FLASH is done with their crap . So that is WGT's fault not the FLASH bugs. Read properly please.

  And it did affect me and I was one of the first to post about the issue and the solution but I use common sense when passing blame and try be a part of the solution not the problem. But in any case your welcome and whatever . Have fun.

  But they didn't know about the buggy new Flash release.  If they were testing WGT's new release on the new Flash release they would have seen the problems before their customers and then told Adobe their new Flash was buggy don't release it.  Do you agree WGT should have known there was a new Flash release due out the day of WGT's planned release?

  I won't be losing any balls, thus not buying any, until this is sorted out and fixed. Hard to lose a ball playing just one hole a night, especially nbr 10 at SA. Meter isn't stopping short, it's flying past, aim way left, no lost ball.
