    WGT hasdropped my completion percentage, falsely imaging me as a quitter.  Latest episode, stroke play game.  Routine play, WGT messages that an error has occurred with this winow and we have to close and try later.  So I close and reopen.  I can choose "continue" or forfeit.  I continue.  Resets, I try to strike the ball, message: an error has occurred with this window, close, try again...I do.  3rd time:  I go to strike - same shot - ERROR:  close this window and try again...this time wgt comes back and says that - I have disconnected from the game  times - it's over.  This horse manure can not be addressed with WGT since they will only respond with canned b.s.  and never give you an honest answer or correct their treatment of their so called customers.  I hope someone from WGT reads, but only so they can laugh, I imagine.

    hi

    when you say wgt says... I assume you mean the game not C.S.R. that error on resuming could be many different factors, so I can't speculate. as for our c.s.r we have no way to increase or decrease your completion %, so not much we can do there.

    I was dropped by the WGT server numerous times while playing in a CC credits tourney, which resulted in a WD. Bummer for me. Sh!t happens.

    Now, the OP states that he was dropped from ONE game which has resulted in his tarnished completion status. So, unless the OP has only played 2 rounds, this doesn't add up. So, unless the OP has quit on numerous occasions, the OP should be able to earn a good completion status by completing 2-3 rounds.

    I will assume you are well versed in  optimizing your computer for play on WGT as you have been here for a while. 

    I seldom get booted from games but after the last update there have been issues.

    My advice, play Blitz with a mate -  shoot  some quick rounds and you will be green again in less time it took to write this post.

    Every one whos played on this game has been removed by things beyond there control    We have a little moan and rant about it but in the end we accept it     Its a great game played by hundreds of thousands of people at any one time    Obviously theres going to be some glitches    And it is free if you want it to be  But its not that often you get cut off and it wouldnt affect your game finished % very much if an     And you find the ones who cry loudest are usually the first to quit anyway  Susie  xxx

    It took enough time to write about 1 episode.  Do you really want the low down on 7-8 glitches?  Doubt it.  I only had 30+ ranked rounds at the time with 7-8 failures (not me quitting).  But thanks for checking my stats first  good researchers prevail again, you should join the WGT staff...fit right in.

    Thanks for the advice on taking it to WGT customer service, but I used to do that abut issues.  NEVER got a straight answer to any question.  Not even a "sorry, bu that is just the way the system works".  No it was always smoe canned "pat" response, like, "that's normal variance".  for example, they inform a player, that if they hit a proper iron, on the correct line, and strike the ball via the meter (our mechanism for perfect swing or flawed), and you hit what the screen says is the "excellent" swing- right on the dinger - and (in this case a 5 iron) it yank pulls 40 feet left of your chosen line into deep rough - the answer as to why a correct line, correct club, best possible swing resulted in disaster was - "normal variance" - LOL.   Ask any REAL golfer - this referenced variance only comes from a glitch, hitch, mistrike, chunk, fat, or other swing error - some mechanism of the golfer failing.  The program here should reward perfection when we are able to manage it.  Not "normal variance" excuse the nuisance. After months of experimenting, I found that if you play a cross wind, aim off the line of your intended target (it's always ONLY when that target is the pin, does not occur if it is an aim in a fariway), and hit the ding line, if you are aimed within 30 feet of the pin - left or right - the shot will start directly at the pin.  Does not matter if you aimed 25 left or right of the pin from 160yds. IF you hit the excellent line on the meter, the "program" seems to KNOW somehow - mystically, where the pin is (meaning in terms of an inanimate ball and club), and the shot will start dead on a line for the pin, and then be turned away by the wind.  In reality, all the club and ball know is NOTHING.  And whatever line a human picks, swings perfectly and strikes a ball, THAT is the line the ball should BEGIN on.  Then the distance and wind are the only factors to determine its landing spot.  Not with WGT.  Now if you miss the exc meter line just the slightest, you then get the truest line based on that slight pull or push, and the wind and distance take their rightful place in having a dynamic impact on the shot.  It is only the EXC. ding shot that gets this "normal variance" b.s. from WGT.  I began writing to WGT early because I thought they would want to hear from us, get their glitches worked out and become the best freaking golf site on the planet.  They have great graphics, and good game selections.  But they have not once given me an honest and professional answer to any inquiry I have made.  CHECK this out - they told me to go the player forums for answers to questions, so I never went back to them again - and won't, until they are under new management that actually cares about improving their site.  Thanks for responding, but I have had no luck with them.  If you read my past inquiries (cooler head - helpful intent toward WGT style) and then read their replies, you would say.."really?" LOL... thanks again, have fun

    Thanks, I guess for taking a few minutes to say...well, nothing really.  And just an FYI, I have NEVER - not even once for an emergency (had none) ever quit a game on another player.  I have played nearly 700 alt shot games, never quit a teammate.  And stroke play games; the other players still have me there when they make their last putt completing the round, if I have not been locked out by WGT.  My only incompletes are due to WGT glitches or errors of one kind or another.  It really is not that hard to program a system to distinguish between log outs or intentional departures from a game, and WGT errors or server problems.  But as a company you have to care about it, or it will never be so that they are distinguised.  You already know the real answer to this.  Yourlast comment about crying loudest, first quitters...very adolescent, so if you are a teenager, you get a pass, lol.
