Alternate shot still a major issue

  I said I would stay off the forums unless I had something to add. I am seeing way too many posts about the issues with AS games. I myself have have been a victim way more than wanted lately. There is a definite issue here with the game. I trust that WGT is on this and will respond accordingly. A lot of players (myself included) have lost a lot of ball usage due to this problem. (Get the hint)? A lost game is a lost game, nothing to show for it except 25-30% wear on an expensive ball.

  The point really is we shouldn't have to "work around" anything. The WGT game software should be fixed so it works properly without their entire membership having to "work around" it all the time, presuming the "work around" even works.

  I gave up on Alt Shot a long time ago because of issues - just got sick of crashes. Now I play stroke games with mates as that seems to be relatively stable. Result is a lot less play.

  The sooner WGT realise this the sooner fixes will come.

  That nails it - offering up "work-arounds" just mask the problems and makes the chance of getting anyone at WGT sit up and listen, much much smaller.

  You Folks do understand that there are no credits involved in Alt/Shot so why fix it.

  Apparently where credits are involved is.

  I understand your point, but Alt is a popular fun game. but if players stop play Alt Shot many will simply will not play which in turn equals less ball sales. Short Sighted IMHO.

  WGT will keep records on all sales vs game types - when any drop they need to ask why. Like I said, I do not play Alt now as too many games crash.

  Having major issues gentlemen from WGT management with Alternate player invitations and disconnects for the past few weeks. Please don't feed us the same line as: The issue does not lie with our system. major problems from around the globe say other wise. Fix the issues with the game!!

  Thank you so much for speaking up!

  I have been posting and emailing WGT about this and all that I get are ridiculous excuses as to why it is MY fault. I am using the wrong browser. I don’t clear my cache. I don’t remember to turn my light to green.

  I was even asked to send a screen cap of the problem! How do you show a screen shot of not receiving invitations or your friends not seeing yours?

  In the end I was told to shut up about the issue or I would be shut down. SO WHAT!

  If you can’t get a game with friends why does anyone want to be here? To play with random players?

  I have been here 5 years and the problems NEVER get solved, only covered up. New courses added. Flags that flap in the wind. Clapping when you make a birdie. Make the dots on the green bigger and then make them smaller. Make Cabo and Whistler free to WGT Members.

  Everything under the sun but fixing the problems.
