    Having played many years on WGT i can say with complete certainty that the last WGT maintenance undertaken in Feb 2015 when Chambers Bay was added marks the date from which all these new issues have arisen (for me at least).

    I have the latest computer and all updates are automatic - so please look in-house for the errors !

    1. Invites not working - as verified due to Skype

    2. Player status (colors) not correct - as verified due to Skype

    3. Frequent - "Unexpected Error" page.

    4. Home page - "Cannot connect to WGT - Retry"  instead of log-in box - unable to      connect  to WGT unless PC is rebooted. this is now quite frequent !

    5. Disappearance of Chat option during game and hole info box (top left).

    6. Rear camera views on many holes not functioning.

    7. Occasional award of skins to the wrong player.

    8. After "pick up the ball"in skins - repeated messages like "Birdie - player x has won 0 skins" " The game has ended" repeated 3 - 4 times in succession before resuming with  next player's putt.

    9. Blue screen 

    These and I'm sure many other technical issues mentioned by others have severely diminished the enjoyment of this wonderful site - once upon a time there was Kiawah Island and a great online golf experience was born, the introduction of new courses BP - St A made it a fantastic site but also more error prone as the complexity grew.

    Since a return on investment must be achieved the introduction of better balls and clubs all well and good, however with all these changes (improvements) the technical demands on the WGT system have also increased and therein lies the conundrum for WGT.

    The introduction of the CC pass bodes ill for the future of WGT since it is clear to many of us that this is the thin end of the wedge and will sooner or later be extended to general play and thus a green fee will be required to play and free Golf on WGT will be ended.

    I do hope for the sake of the site and all WGT's devoted customers, that the ability of WGT to manage its growth is not hampered by the desire to maximize the ROI at the expense of quality and customer satisfaction.

    There will soon be competitor sites online and unless WGT can improve / minimize the errors, then, as WGT becomes more troublesome, die-hards like me will look for alternatives.

    ANOTHER BUG FOUND

    Play skins challenge 2 players -

     

    1. after 5 holes - look to check stats of opponent - game crashes and i lose all skins

    2. another game same format - posting a chat after hole is won - game crashes and I lose all skins.

     

    This is a seriously unstable platform now and losing money to WGT crashes is really spoiling my enjoyment of the game !

    This issue sounds very similar to the bug I described in my "WGT 3 word phrase post." It's possible to lose a good game that's not quite finished by simply trying to chat in between holes. Then when you try to reboot and resume your game, it's gone. And the other players think you simply forfeited.

    I don't know if this a new bug or an old one I have only just experienced.  Last night I tried to play a 2 player stroke play  game, on the very first hole I got  "Unexpected Error" page so quickly logged out and back in again well within the time limit, only to find I was in the same game but my opponent had gone and It was now a single player match. We started another match only to find it happened again on the 7th hole this time.  I logged back out and in. I was facing the same shot I had before, but my opponent had gone and it  was in single play again.

    "Unexpected errors" aren't new, nor is the reaction of a MP strokeplay game to discons. Quite a long while ago, maybe a year(?), there were severe issues with such games (?hanging up?) which were "solved" by separating the players.

    I've just recently started playing Blitz so I don't know if this is a new bug or not but,

    on several holes, throughout several different games (perhaps 3X in 35 holes) I was unable to change the spin of the ball.  It didn't matter if I changed shots (pitch, full, etc) or changed clubs, the game wouldn't let me adjust the spin on the ball. 

    Not the end of the world but still, it makes things more challenging.
