  TWOMINUSONE:

  Anyone seeing a fuzzy streak of light flitting on and off on the meter bar when playing? Like its acting weird or something. Seems to happen only when moving the power.

  just finished a round of 31 @ st.george
  and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

  usually after an update the game is all crappy,
  however this time it was like buttah!
  meter played exquisitely smooth,
  all flash loading was lightning fast,
  the game played like it SHOULD always play,
  but can't tell if it's the update or the lack of players
  overloading the server at this time.

  Well lookie there, tnx for pointing that out, shall have to get me some new clothes, maybe then folks can get off my back about the pink shirt lol

  I was looking for a drink that could give me the final 20,000 xp so I can get to L90 :/

  I seriously cant imagine anybody buying those max irons, why would you..From what I have read, the R11's are the dogs nuts and I can't wait to get my hands on them :-)

  Peace

  Cheers folks, i dont usually do the clean PC gimmick straight after an update, as i think this can screw you up bad sometimes. I usually wait until its the last resort. I will try this a few more times, then see what happens. For the record, i have recorded what im seeing, but if the clean up does sort it, then i wont bother posting it, lol. Cheers.

  Some new vapor trail Max Balls

  650cr a pack...............

  But that was the price before for the normal vapor max.....the new colors are 675cr's lol.

  Check the meter speed tho, No thanks!

  Jesus, you need max balls to slow it to  R11 iron pace with SD's..lmao

  I'm definitely looking forward to another free rental so I can try these max irons with free balls and see just how fast they are lol.....But just think of how slow the R11 clubs meter will seem afterward.  

  It's not just the meter speed that would be a nightmare, it's the small amount of forgiveness that goes with them.  The less forgiveness means a small space on either side of the ding line.  With all that precision, miss the ding and that ball is precisely go where you didn't want it to lol.

  I was able to pry our lead QA engineer away from his desk for a couple of minutes, and he explained to me a major improvement that we should be including in our next scheduled release (or possibly the following scheduled release)

  We hear your feedback, we really do. One of the kernels of feedback highlighted in this thread is about the friends list, specifically while in a game. Our engineers have been hard at work perfecting a change to the friends list, while in game. When it is your shot your friends list notifications will not display on your screen. Any notifications, be it an invite, or a status change, will be "queued" and then displayed after your shot is done.

  As I was anxiously awaiting this major improvement of not updating our friends list while playing in the game client if it is our turn, I cleared my caches this morning and started a ranked round.  I stood on the 1st tee at Congressional watching my Friend List.

  I had 2 on-line, a minute went by, still just 2 friends on-line,

  I took a practice swing for the helluvit.  Still just two friends.......looking good.........

  Still my shot...

  Crap!   3 friends are now on-line.

  Looks like the friend list improvement did not make this update.

  To confirm this I did my standard CPU usage monitoring after setting affinity of the game processes to play on only one of my 4 processors.  The periodic 60 second spikes due to friend list updates are still there.

  

  I'm disappointed WGT!  Instead of this major improvement we got what?  More vapor balls?

  Friend list needs to be disabled once a game as begun! or at least give players the OPTION of turning it off:)

  Who is the brain(fart) behind this ship?  You have players actually telling you what they want and you piece together a new set if irons that no one can play with, based on the dot ratings.  You guys are getting dumber by the month.
