  What is the deal with stroke play now? Had someone quit earlier and it sent us to the lobby like someone that gets connected in alternate shot etc..... Did they finally fix the quitting prob that we can continue on with a match?

  There are legitimate reasons for not finishing a game.  The problem is WGT used to freeze the game if someone had to leave.  Making everyone delay in the lobby like other non stroke games is not the answer.  I understand WGT is trying to make decisions based on player input.   My suggestion is to make it so anyone can leave a game without delaying or otherwise interrupting the other players.  Make this lobby option only if a player suddenly leaves due to internet or computer issues.  Make an option available to leave without interrupting the game at all.  I have had pick up games where another player is too obnoxious.  This game needs some decorum.

  It's not fixing anything.

  Now if others Disconnect, you cannot even save and resume your own game like before.  You are totally reliant on the others reconnecting.  Not fun when you're putting on the last hole with a decent score.

  2 members DC'd... rejoined then DC'd again. then i sat there for 5 mins waiting to resume. the 5mins came and went and still nothing. Waited another few minutes then closed game screen, as i could not even click on menu.

  Get rid of this stupid idea., until such a time  when you have it sorted.  I know it's Beta and all, but surely you know this is happening and it's just Not working as it should, and ruining many nice rounds along the way.

  Hold it!

  Reconnects for stroke play is imperative to our CC tournaments.

  I like the idea of a button where you can drop without bringing everyone back to the lobby.

  But otherwise this feature must stay.

  And it is fixing virtually everything!

  WGT is a primarily a single player game... with add on's like ALT and CC's.

  Give me a list of what this new feature has fixed!

  More headaches. Still have quitters.

  I had not disconnected in a match tonight....was green , yet i had a timer running on me.

  Like I said, remove it, get it fixed then return. For now, it should go.

  Classic example. 

  Yesterday I started @ 90% like the rest.  After 2 completed rounds I was up to 97%.

  Then all hell broke loose with players quitting and not reconnecting. I wake this morning and now I'm down to 87%, yet I did not "quit" any matches. I could not and can not anymore, save and resume my stroke round as a single.

  The way I see it, i've been penalised because of the quitters. Totally wrong and unfair.

  New stroke play lobby is no fun at all.  Sure it helps to not call someone a quitter but when other's are losing percentages for other's quitting, then it became a pest.  I don't want to wait for another to reconnect for a stroke play game for 4:49 seconds or 5 minutes.  It was fine before, you quit I play on alone or save&quit to continue later.  Now your forcing me to wait for the person to reconnect.  What if the person is a jerk & doing it on purpose?  Then that's 10 minutes? What happen to the save&quit option?  I don't like the new format of the stroke play game.  Now  I enjoy playing rounds with other's but now I know I'll definitely get to play more stroke play rounds alone because of this NEW STROKE PLAY FORMAT! Laughing all the way to ace, double eagle, eagle, birdie, bogey & more. Good Gaming!
