  LOL it's not 200% faster but it does have one of the smoothest meter i've ever tried it's was designed for vista users but great with widow's 7 too.

  Have you timed it? lol (joking)

  For sure it's a lot faster than chrome and firefox (pile of junk)....and the meter's bang on smooth...it handles this game better than the usual browsers, so it's all good.

  It's Maxthon 3 - with an "h" in there. And yes it does work really well.

  Maxthon3 The Best Browser By Far To Play WGT

  Buttery smooth meter.....draws pages 200% faster than Google Chrome...built in adhunter and full screen mode rocks.

  i have never had serious meter issues in over a year.  (lucky me!)  however I'm always willing to try something new if the source of the information seems knowledgeable.  (I'm not!)  In this case I downloaded the Maxthon 3.  I have played only one game so far and here is what I found,  Meter is to me somewhat smoother,  The forgiveness aspect seems less than before, if possible.  The full screen mode is better.  All in all, i can recommend it, it is somewhat better than what i had before.  my nickle.

  Maxthon certainly seems to be much better than firefox which is very unsteady, not to mention Chrome which WGT recommends is total piece of junk, I have tried almost everything with chrome and I can ding a single shot..

  Thanks for the help TBE and I hope the new browser stays smooth for the time being as I am tired installing and uninstalling all the browsers mentioned in the forums..

  Cheers Isle.

  it's got a few handy extras like a built in screenshot taker (top right...little camera icon)....and the adhunter (bottom right....yellow icon) as well as other folks can look at.

  enjoy.

  Firefix 14

  => freeze in the first game, when changing to full screen.

   

  Back to10.3.183.20

  WGT GOLF NEWS

  • Flash and WGT

    08 Aug 2012

    

    For the past of couple weeks, online games that run in web browsers that use Adobe Flash have been experiencing display issues and crashes. Adobe has confirmed that these Flash issues were introduced in late July and is working hard on fixing the problems. See Adobe confirmed issues.

    This may be impacting your experience playing WGT, but the best solution depends on your web browser, so here’s what WGT recommends…

     

    Google Chrome – Chrome is the browser that WGT recommends for performance and because it automatically updates plug-ins like Flash, and the issues reported earlier in August appear to be addressed with the latest version:

    • Install Chrome with Flash

    Microsoft Internet Explorer – IE appears to have avoided these Flash issues in the latest versions:

    • Install IE 
    • Install Flash for IE

    Mozilla Firefox – Flash issues were reported in Firefox but appear to be addressed with the latest versions:

    • Install Firefox and check/install Flash

    Apple Safari – Safari appears to have fixed similar Flash issues with their latest:

    • Install Safari
    • Install Flash for Safari

    If you still have issues with the World Golf Tour game, please email us atmembers@worldgolftour.com and let us know which versions of the above web browser and Flash you're using so we can help you out.

  downloaded Maxthon .. yep, that's some silky smooth meter right there ..

  although i don't like playing on full screen mode .. maybe i should get a 24" monitor ..

  ..........................................................................................................................................................

  EDIT: like a plonk i only discovered later that Maxthon has got its own full screen function .. (bottom right hand corner; click on magnifying glass & hit full screen) .. which gives a nice crisp full screen mode as apposed to using the game client full screen function ..

  nice fat, clear ding line .. which makes getting close or on top of ding easier with my Burners ..

  and yeah, it loads like lightning .. really good find this browser .. wonder how many people will get onto this ..
