    I would be likely to agree with WGT, especially if this is their official statement, however the spacebar problem was discovered on Safari this morning. Besides that, there is another issue with the swing meter.

    I know that statement is impossible to prove, since it is directly related to performance, and I could just be making excuses. However, I am not. This incremental issue with the meter also occurred when I was first playing, and I thought there was an issue but had no proof and just played on. Then I switched to Safari and the problem was cured. Now it's back. The problem, which isn't even consistent, reappeared this morning along with the spacebar issue on SAFARI. Basically, what happens is the swing meter, when I click on it with the mouse, either registers late or exactly when I click it, and sometimes results in a ding. 

     

    My last wish is to provide excused for the idiot masses, but something has to give. People have put lots of money into this. Can anyone say "class-action law suit?"

    What issue(s) are you having? There are a couple of "fixes for the fix" if it doesn't work, or leads to a different issue. Lucky me, I had all of the additional issues, but now I have fixed them and written the solutions in my blog: http://www.wgt.com/user/Profile.aspx?UserID=6734061.

    Issues I had:

    1) After disabling Pepper Flash, the Game Status and Friend List normally found in the upper left of most wgt.com pages would not appear. Also, when trying to load the game itself, it would freeze at 77%. Solution: clear Flash cache, then re-do Local Storage setting.

    2) When I got the above issue fixed, the space bar problem would come back every time I restarted my browser. On some systems, Chrome automatically re-enables Pepper Flash without notice! Solution: it's complicated, but by a bit of file manipulation Chrome can be prevented from re-enabling Pepper Flash.

    I am on windows 8, so sounds like I am SOL.  Funny thing is, the spacebar worked fine on this machine until about a week ago.

     

    Anyone with any more ideas, I am all ears.

     

    WGT is the only place it doesn't work with Chrome. My problem, me thinks not.
