  Just how many people are going to click on1 of these adds when they are playing a game? I don't think too many will. It is just a waste of time and resources for those adds.

   How many people run right out to buy laundry soap or feminine hygiene products as soon as they see the commercial on TV?

  Does that stop companies from paying huge money for advertising?  NOPE! . It's all about getting the name out there, and if WGT can make money from it, and be no more intrusive than these ads are, knock yourselves out WGT is what I say!

  I do not know what the hell you have done but for someone that hardly ever has a meter problem you have created one. I even notice that the meter even twitches. WTG Boneheads!

  I played a bunch of alt shots today and not a single meter glitch.  I've set affinity to a single core and count to 4 or 5 before releasing the swing.  Those two and running on low flash quality is it.

  But I did notice lots more friends on-line today changing states and what not, so those friend updates might be causing some people problems.

  No its called false advertising. I purchased a SLEEVE of balls for two dollars. I lost a ball and went back into my bag for a second ball i purchased and i had none. I payed $2.00 for one ball? Really??? At least tell the consumer its $2.00 for one ball! its a ripoff.

  Have you tried pausing at the top of the backswing for 4 or 5 seconds to let the cpu setlle down?  4 player is chewing up my CPU real time a whole bunch more than 2 player.

  Yeah, I have always done that, the tweak to the flash quality has helped some. I just really never had a meter problem before, not sure why now after the update....

  Lets not forget the product is "Virtual". Can you or I quit and and take our toys w/us?.

  Marketing is one thing, an a company is entitled to a profit. But customer service and concerns must be maintained.  IMHO
