    jayw4862:

    Kill the messenger? At least he's trying to help find ways around the crap they infested the game with until, hopefully, the devs fix it (w/o adding ANYTHING). 

    Now I see why the mods won't even acknowledge posts/complaints. Shamwow should pull a "sit back, shut up, and let everyone whine and whine and whine, and threaten to stop playing (BS), or buying balls/equipment (BS)". 

    You missed the point. This is not about Sham or any other WGT employee specifically. It's about the audacity of WGT to release something really, really easy to debug if they were to just play 1 hole before they released it!! Then he wouldn't have to come on here in a noble attempt to appease the masses by doing something this alleged Q/A team is supposed to do.

    ok don't want to hear clear cache- or your oh don't have multiple windows or browsers open. I have 1 browser open, 1 window which is wgt page and he play now just keeps flashing back n forth - you have a game in progress, to the play now - can not get in to play a game . so I guess it's hear rent some free clubs but you won't be able to play have a nice day

    WGTShamWow:

    Hi All,

    ...These are ones that we are aware of and our Q/A team is working on fixes for. ...

    All the Best,
    WGTShamWow 

    +1(000) and thanks for the post.

    It seems to me that most who are bitching about this post:

    1. Are long-term and experienced players;
    2. Do not have any formal education is computer code or software, and;
    3. Are bitching just to be bitching;

    Additionally it appears that some think that WGT:

    1. Wanted this fiasco (because they obviously just couldn't stand to have a business run smoothly), and;
    2. Has made untold millions in profits (obviously board members in disguise that want to "out" their profit model).

    Would it be better that this post was not necessary? Would it be better if these bugs had all been discovered and rectified prior to release? Would it be better if this was a perfect world where nothing ever went wrong, everything operated perfectly in every condition all the time and we all lived in a state of perfect bliss?

    Of course the answer is "YES"!

    However, this is not the case. I'm guessing that most of the idiots bitching about 'Why couldn't this have all been worked out/perfected before release?', have no clue as to how difficult it is to write code that has to work with multiple browsers on multiple operating systems with millions of hardware configurations and simultaneous running software? This a virtual impossibility for almost any programmer writing anything more than a basic program (no pun intended). From the responses from @WGTShamWow, WGT are aware of most of the issues and are working on them.

    The last I checked, it was still a "Free" game. Only you and I have chosen to spend money with WGT. So you do have an option, no one is forcing you to stick around.

    Until then STFU! and appreciate the fact that they are at least acknowledging what has happened and trying to provide more than a basic level of customer support.

    WGT, have you just shut down for 20 seconds, as all of us playing in a cc comp were told our internet conn had gone and none of us could get back on, thus the tourny was fooked up

    I totally agree on this one. Sorry if I misunderstood the first post. It's evident they don't "test" anything before releasing it. 

    Add 1-2 hours to the downtime and spend those last 1-2 hours going through every aspect of the game. But, every hour or minute the site is down means a little less $$ that might be coming in. Throw it out, and fix the bugs next downtime (maybe) and create several more in the process. Sadly, I've almost gotten used to it now. 

    The only thing I absolutely hate from this update/downtime is the stupid, ridiculous SWISH sound. I liked to play with only the club/ball sounds before, but now I play in silence.

    I got this to work. 

    Choose Chip.

    Press spacebar. 

    It actually works on any approach shot from what I can tell.
