  In the last 24 hours I have lost 10 balls on the st andrews hole 1....hit the bar but the meter keeps going to the far end.....what the hell is going on!!! I try going far left but it still keeps going to the right!......is WGT running out of money...and needs us to buy more balls etc.

  I love this game but this is a joke,,,,something is up ...is anyone else having the same problem?

  just spoken to a couple of friends and one had the same problem last week and the other in a different country is now having the same problem....i smell a rat!!!!

  Hi Seans,

  I can assure you, we are not trying to rip anyone off. Adobe released the update about the same time as we had a downtime, so when we came back, all this happened.

  for chrome browser possible fix, please see courtney's post here

  you should replace lost balls that happened during this time.  I lost balls as well trying to figure out what was wrong.  it's the right thing to do.

  don't use google chrome atm. If you're looking for another browser that is similar to Goole Chrome, I suggest trying "Rockmelt" it's a great browser and it's layout is exactly like Goole Chrome and WGT works wonders with it.

  It took you 10 lost balls to figure out there was a problem?

  As soon as you saw it wasn't working right did you bother to check in the forums to see if others were having difficulty or if there was a fix?

  By the time you posted this there were several threads posted on how to fix the problem

  So instead you would rather accuse WGT of trying to rip you off...too funny

  Maybe the rat you smell is your own lack of judgement.

  Why? Not everyone lost balls due to the update and not every browser was affected. Just those using Chrome, wgt does not tell us what browser to play the game with nor do they have control over what other software companies do to to their software that affects this game Ie; Adobe & Chrome. Both made changes that screwed up game play in that browser. In essnce it was Chrome's fault for trying to introduce a new player that wasn't compatible with Adobe Flash. Hence rolling back to an update that doesn't contain the Pepper Player Chrome update solves the problem.

  E1 else using a different browser was unaffected. So maybe you should write to Adobe or Chrome to see if they will reimburse you for your loss since it was their fault.

  I don't propose that WGT doesn't have their flaws but let's put it proper perspective. A little research and knowledge can go a long way towards better understanding than blind accusations.
