  Its happening everywhere for me and I'm sure for many others..

  Most of us wouldn't come here and b!tch merely because we felt like it or it only happened at 1 course.

  My guess is it will only be repaired next downtime so on we go..

  You still have hope? Hope is futile, they are WGT! Your life as it has been is OVER!

  I have seen them fix things that cost them $$.in a day or two.

  So why can't they fix this in a week or two?

  Simple business math:

  These cost $$ until they are fixed. Those cost nothing until they start to fix them.

  In any case, the bug is easy to fix. They have just reversed the logic for when it should be transparent or not. It's a if(condition1 && condition2) then make transparent, but they get true when they should get false. And vice versa.

  why the hell try and fix something that's not broken?

  Prior to this "fix" ( transparent avatar option) there was a bug where the avatar would not go transparent/translucent if you had just previously done a replay of your approach shot to the green. So instead of fixing that problem wgt added a new feature/option to make the avatar always transparent via an option.

  I've submitted several problem reports when the avatar was not transparent/translucent when it should have been, so I'm sure wgt knows about this newly introduced problem.

  wtf don't you just put a small button on game screen to toggle player between transparent and not ?
  Simplest bit of programming in the world, 10 minute job for someone who knows the game asset names. 30min job for someone who has never seen your code before.
  
  took what , 4 years to get wgt to address transparency problem, and they try do it with pseudo 3d logic when all it needs is a button. makes no sense at all.

  Yes. Just another icon next to "remove flagstick"
