    Hi to one and all from a newbie.  Been playing for 4 days now after stumbling across WGT and loving the gameplay and course realism, I am totally hooked already.

    However I do have a gripe I'm afraid!  I have had two scoring games cancelled tonight when I was winning quite easily.  In the first the game screen kept crashing and I had to reconnect several times and then on the last occasion with just 2 to play and 2 up I got told I had disconnected 3 times and so was disqualified and lost the match!!!  WTF?!

    Then the very next game I was winning again against a different opponent when the game crashed and when I went to rejoin it said I had been removed from the lobby and to find another game to join!!!!

    I don't think it was anything my opponents had done as both had been quite chatty and friendly up to that point.  Is it me or is it WGT and will it always be like this, cos if so these constant crashes are ruining what is otherwise a great game?

    Sorry to make my first post a whinge!

    hi

    it's hard to tell. I generally have no issues, I can't really remember last time I crashed... Only time I did is when my internet was wonky.

    It's hard to judge what could be an issue :(.

    Welcome to WGT keasden.

    Every now and then they do an update and in my experience it usually messes with all matter of aspects of the game . . . game crashing / getting disconnected being one of them. After the last one we all got golf bags we didn't buy or want . . . some of them even floated in mid air lol.

    It usually sorts itself out after a week or two so hang in there and hopefully it will all come good and you'll have other things to frustrate you . . . it's what keeps us all hooked :)

    Cheers

    Yes disconnecting from the game three times is a DISQ.

     

    Please note that your cache should not be cleared too often, as the game depends on large files cached to your browser, and having to download them frequently will slow down performance.

    • Clear Browser cache: Click here for instructions.

    If you need to uninstall and reinstall your Flash player, you can only do so by using the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller, which can be found here.

    If you experience hiccups during putting

    Turn off your putting grid by going into the game options menu and setting the Putting Grid to "off".

    Run disk clean-up

    Disk clean-up frees up space in your computer, and takes just a few minutes to run. In Windows XP, go to All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup to start the process.

    It damn sure has been today, the absolute worse I have seen it in 6 months. Every single part of the game is off today.

    I for one had never had any mutli player issues ..That is until the 2nd to last update less then a month ago. Since then I get at least 1 disconnect every multi player game I play. I yet have had 3 disconnects in 1 game so I have been lucky not to be DQed that way.

    There is something definitely screwed up but WGT will say otherwise or that it must be something on our end.

    I hope tonights update fixes this issue. Come to think of it I hope tonights update fixes any issue as I have not seen an actual bug fix update in quite some time other then the bugs created after updates. To clarify I have not seen an old Bug fixed in quite some time.

    Im praying harder this time. I think the update tonight is just for the Bag Bug . People who dont have the Bags are showing up as if they do. The opponents dont see the bag but they do and sometimes you see this huge huge Bag on your monitor especially when playing on Kiawah. Its a riot.
