    So we got rid of all the flash features

    Is is all or nothing?  Can't we PLEASE have our zoom back???

    Thomas

    Why would you want it back if it caused games to become frozen or players to get booted?

    Because...

    a) that has NEVER happened to me (suspect dasterdly dead to 'help' win CR's match..another example of 2% messing it up for the vast majority) 

    and

    b)  i use(d) it all the time

    Hey Frapp buddy!

    Yeah, it's a berrier to shoot low enough to improve when you hit level 60 eh? lmao I feel you buddy!#$%

    I'll bet I shot 8 scores of 31 in a row, feels like anyway. They don't let you pull the pin anymore either, I just noticed that on my drive at the par 3 Congressional over the water there?

    But I think the meter has improved leaps and bounds )(no punn intended lol). Let's shoot some time soon, I enjoy shooting with you bro.

    roidrage03:

    Some of the camera angles are too far away to line up shots properly, so the zoom was a way to overcome the problem.

    Well stated. My computer monitor is small. Zooming in to get a clearer, often more accurate read on putts via the "zoom chip view" was a critical component in my short game. We'll see how the removal of such a valuable tool affects my putting. Adapt or retire, I suppose.

    I understand the "needle in a haystack" searches for causes of issues that programmers go through. What must be done, well, must be done.

    I was hoping WGT would release one or two new clubs for those of us in the wasteland between levels 82 & 92. No such luck. As has been said ad nauseum, WGT now caters to low & mid-level players exclusively. Someday I'd love an answer from WGT as to why they've taken on such a strategy. 

    I remember when customer retention - being much less expensive than acquisition of new customers - was the way smart businesses conducted themselves. Gone with the wind...

    To end on a positive note: Thank you WGT for continuing your efforts to improve the playability of this fine virtual golf game.

    I've had it happen to me when I mis-clicked and hit play in the pop up menu by mistake, only a few times and certainly not annoying enough to give up zoom for though. 

    Besides, it was my own stupid fault.  I don't think a few players whining about this is a good enough reason to rob us all of the zoom option.

    This is unfair.  Please give us our zoom back.

    WGTdbloshoe:
    Right Click Zoom Feature - We got complaints that players games were being frozen or not loading correctly.  We have been investigating the issue and what we found is if a player used specific buttons on the right click that, the game could be stalled manually and players kicked out.  So we got rid of all the flash features that you were able to access via right clicking.


    this sounds like it would be the play/rewind/ff,
    has NOTHING to do with ZOOM.

    just ask yourself, what would LEADBETTER do?

    Players complain about cheating ask us to do something.... we find a major cheat and I am very serious that this was a major cheat that caused a lot of issues and loss of credits.  We find it and fix it to make the game fairer for players and now we get complaints about zoom?  In all honesty what  would players prefer, being cheated out of credits or a zoom feature?

    If there is a way to put the zoom feature back without opening up the cheat feature we will try and do it.  But there are no promises and if there is even the smallest hint that it gives players the ability to cheat again we won't put it back.
