Spacebar Issue

  I tried every sort of reconfigure of Chrome to fix the spacebar issue. It always resulted in problems elsewhere. WGT said I could then alter Chrome again to fix those problems but I thought 'how long can you keep doing this?'. As said elsewhere in this thread - wgt need to fix THEIR problem (not Google's Chrome). Besides - what chance do you reckon we've got of getting Google to do anything at all!.

  My solution was to switch from Chrome back to Internet Explorer. I like Chrome better and use it for everything else except WGT.

  Smooth meter > space bar in chat

   

  If you really need to type a message, you can always do it in notepad and copy and paste it into the chat window.

  Am I correct in thinking this issue is caused by Chrome's pepperflash player?

  If so, why don't people just disable pepperflash and install adobe's flash player instead?

  I have done this and my spacebar works just fine in the game.

  Have others tried this and still have no spacebar?

  Have you double checked that pepperflash is still disabled?

  Have you also disabled the Chrome update plug-in to ensure pepperflash remains disabled?

  Have you removed the macromedia and adobe flash folders after installing adobe flash player?

  Does adobe's flash player mess up other aspects of the game?

  Help me to understand what is going on here.

  Hello Scott,

  I've done all of the above that you mention. Spacebar issue still exists this end in multi player games.

  I'm well aware that disabling the pepperflash plug-in allows me to use the chat box when playing others, alas the spacebar prob' is replaced by a permanently stuttering meter and very poor graphics as can be seen here...

  

   

  I've always been able to workaround the issue previously by using an older flash version. When I try to install an older version now all I get is the following...

  

  Using really old versions does not help as Adobe no longer offer support apparently.

  My wgt utopia is as follows:

  1. Decent meter

  2. Good graphics

  3. Ability to use chat box whilst in multi player games.

  4. Playing in full screen mode.

  No matter what I do one problem replaces another and at best I'm only ever able to achieve any 3 out of the 4 above.

  I sent you a bud request a while back looking for some input,  for whatever reason it appeared to have been declined. 

  Regards,

  Johnny.

  +1 I have tried all different browsers, and chrome seems to be the best for me. With pepper off meter is unplayable. With pepper on meter is smooth as silk.

  But......must.type.like.this.in.multi.player.games.......lol.

  But...hey, as least the meter is good.  ;)

  Maybe this problem has fallen under the issue of " Obamacare "  and to that we may never ever get it fixed correctly !

  Thanks for confirming what happens this end too, Gerald. Seriously starting to wonder if it was just me! LOL

  When I explain to folks I constantly get 'disable pep flash' ... and have to go through the whole 'but it messes the meter up' explanation again.

  Cheers.

  Crazy,, but like i said at least i can play, just no s.p.a.c.e.b.a.r.    hehe
