The final straw......

  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Stop making excuses for WGT saying its could be this or  that, servers, traffic, inbetween my PC, your PC & WGT's PC, (yes, of course this might have caused probs in the past) But what EVERY ONE is experiencing now is DEFINITELY A FRESH BUG which has occurred parallel to Pinehurst's release.  Its OBVIOUS from what I'm seeing It can only be explained as a WGT BUG.  When some one gets booted from a game (It just happened to me for the 3rd time in yet another skins match)  And for the 2nd time i had Bandicam ready to record INSTANTLY what seems to happen.  Player A gets booted, player B,C and D get taken to game menu to await player A's return, but as you can see in video (when finished uploading) player A's timer immediately starts on ZERO so getting timed out instant is a WGT bug yes?

  Player A seems to disappear from the game although the game thinks he's still awaiting to reconnect, but player B,C and D could wait for return all day (believe me waited for 10 mins yesterday.lol)

  Getting timed out also probably happens to player B,C and D as well so although they think they can re-start game as usual by closing browser even if only after 10 seconds, as you can see in video no matter how long it is whether it be 10 seconds or 2 minutes, the option to return to game is not there. (before even after timing out the option to return to your game was available).  I've also had It once that i was able to return to game but the screen and every option was frozen and all there was on screen was a forfeit button which is not there usually so again pointing to a WGT bug/error.

  WGT should take down the credit matches until this is sorted because Its happening in 50% of credit matches I've played in last 2 days.  But is it a ploy by WGT LOL to take as much credits off us as possible as they need some money after Pinehurst release (JOKE.lol) but seriously they need to fix it asap, refund us all and throw in  a few sleeves of balls which cost them nada,nowt, dim byd, NOTHING!

  Unfortunately, I have to agree this is a new bug with it's own unique modus operandi. Had it happen yesterday or the day before in an alt shot game but can see how it would show up similarly in a for credits multi player skins match.

  This is not a regular disconnect (had enough of them over the years to know what they look like). Happened exactly the way the OP and those who have reported the identical event (not a regular disconnect) ie. only option once get back to the game client lobby is the forfeit button (and again was back to the lobby in under a minute after the first sign of disconnect & confirmation of disco by my playing partners). My playing partners on Skype mentioned that the game was saying I had forfeited already but I was alone in the lobby with the other 3 players "reconnecting" and my only option being to now press the forfeit button or close the game client window.

  Hoping that WGT will seriously look into this as it is not just the ravings of the OP & CIB (sorry Chris but your rep preceeds you) but a serious new bug that has me and many others (I am sure) concerned about for credits matches that are being affected by it.

  Sure would be nice to hear something from WGT on this one.

  I was in this game,we had no problems until  i got kicked out  after skymech had won 5 skins on hole 6  chris had won a skin on hole 1,  i hit continue once it took me back to the lobby, and it said i had lost  all skins because i did not return in time, Looks like you only have 10 seconds to continue match now,  I looked on the other person in the skins game who set it up and it said he won 3 skins, i talked to him and he said all players did not return, this is the 3rd time i have had this happen in the last 3 days  allways the way chris has stated. so far wgt has refunded 2 out of the 3  saying they are refunding in good faith,

  I see no Evil, Hear no Evil, Speak no Evil, I have leaned to almost keep my comments to myself. I have way too many great friends on WGT to become a problem. I take it on the chin and let what happens, happen.  I will never doubt the issues many players have with this game. I have had more than I can explain. Some folks are just lucky I guess, or have an inside line with no issues. Staying nice is something we can all do regardless of internet problems or WGT issues, or whatever is bugging us at a particular moment. When I am having a totally $hitty day, I will not air it out here. I guess getting old just mellows one out.
