Connection Rate on WGT

  This is the most unpredictable web site ever. Why is it that a renowned site can't get connection issues solved?? This is a very good game, but there are too many issues associated with it. Will somebody PLEASE fix these issues for the sake of the players.

   

  Regards,

  Well why is it I seldom have any issues with connections, dropouts or load times?

  If you are inferring why players suddenly drop out of a game, I think you will find that little X button has more to do with it than WGT.

  But in Blitz there are a few issues that freeze game, especially when a player quits. So play with friends or CC members will solve a lot of your issues.

  Well...glad that you have never experienced the java crash cascade effect.  I'll explain it to you since you have never experienced it.

  In a multiplayer, ranked, stroke play game:

  A player disconnects/flash crashes who knows what happens.

  Go to lobby and wait.

  Rejoin game and shortly thereafter I get a flash error. (3 and you are out)

  Go to lobby and wait.

  Rejoin game and shortly thereafter any/all players disconnect (I assume they are having flash crashes also. Could be wrong, but still player disconnects.)

  Go to lobby and wait.

  Rejoin game...repeat.  Hope and pray that the game finishes.

  If I play alone, no flash crashes, no disconnects, smoother meter.

  Count your blessings if you are one of the chosen and have not experienced this WGT phenomenon.

  WGT: advertising on the Golf Channel will only show this problem to many, many more people and the Golf Channels comment section has already shown negative remarks.  Please for the sake of the games future, fix the known operational errors as soon as you can.  If your programmers need help, there are a lot of knowledgeable people on this site.

  Please read carefully - I said SELDOM. I hardly ever play with randoms these days, only with friends and as a result only suffer the "cascade effect" once in a blue moon,

  Playing with randoms vastly increases your chances of not finishing a game.

  Why? People that do not  maintain  their PC's and quitters.

  This game requires the user to be proactive in having a  squeaky clean machine, and without it problems seem to  compound.

  Then the major issue outside our control - FLASH. This is the cause of most issues, it is unreliable and a poor platform. 

  Why do WGT not target me? Perhaps I am lucky, or perhaps it is because I mitigate my risks.

  Most all meter problems are due to the user not keeping things squeaky clean on their end.

  You evidently spend more money on the game than I do then. Thats the only thing that makes sense here. Still WGT has a commitment to giving the players a great experience in gaming. They have issues with suddenly ending games,blue screens in which forces you to reboot, and an overall bad rating with replying to and fixing the problems with their game site. WGT can fix this but won't for some reason. Sure I could quit playing the game but would rather see improvements.
