    This being said we are looking in to the camera zoom issue, the 3 click meter, the clicking audio, average score issue and the CC display issue.

    Also for the record we love Alt Shot

    WGTadmin2:

    I posted this else where but duplicated it here:

     

    Here is a little bit more information.  To move into the Champions Tier you will need to play a decent amount of ranked games to qualify. So we will slowly see players enter the new tier.  The goal is to more accurately group the players at the top end by their skill.  As for the Tour Champions tier it will be invite only, and also be based on your Average score with the additional variable of how you performed in past tournaments.  

    We have not purposely changed the AVG score calculation, so there may be a bug if you see your AVG score drastically move.  We are investigating this now.

    Extract from what  I posted elsewher ebut duplicate dhere:

    Jimbog1964:
    No one is asking for exact anything but secret squirrel for 5 year olds is not appreciated either - do you know what the criteria is yet for example....I don't think these are unreasonable requests for some proper guidelines.

    Your sharing of information (to WGT not personal OK) is rubbish....That's an introductory paragraph and stopping there is rubbish and very disrespectful......

    Average going up - fine for all I care as mark of anything but apparently should not be so letting you know..............

    Cam angles need fixing, until then it's not worth playing again...no fun with the mini map, and usually guessing wrongly as obviously would expect.

    Will prob do one low credit RG I signed up for and then check in each day, and play again when it is playable same as most of my CC are saying.  I will tell the tourney manager not to bust a gut as going to be pretty empty out there until that gets fixed.  Shame and hope it gets fixed as soon as you do I am sure.

    Not gonna happen if you leave the easy tees in play in CCs and count them in the average. Skill has nothing to do with making TL now as it is, just the ability to pound out rounds from the baby tees.

    So a 4 stroke jump in the average from shooting a 29 is not right?

    Just whacked 3 holes on Oak ..prac

    I like the new 2nd shot camera default....game was getting too easy and anything that makes ya think is a bonus in my mind !

    Getting boring hitting 180 approaches to 2 yrds max ??

    Won't take more than 8 rounds to start using the whole 'blue' box as a 5 yarder pointage..

    Who needs dots / grids..

    See Fmags Twitch vids for pretty much how to use the 'Blue' one

    Everyone,

    We know there has been "some" issues with this release.  I know it is frustrating when this stuff happens, but we are already are working on some fixes.

    Sham is in the process of writing some more information on the release and will provide some more insight into the new tiers.  I will put the link in here as soon as I can.

    Why does WGT continue to focus on post-release fixes rather than pre-release testing? Release after release contains bugs that would have been easily avoidable with even the most basic test procedure.

    Futile, I know, but by far the biggest thing WGT needs is a commitment to proper QA. To date, we have not even an acknowledgment that there is a QA problem, much less a commitment to fixing it.

    I had an unsaturated TL average of 59.61 after 333 ranked rounds

    It jumped to over 62 today

    After rounds of 54, 54 and 56    my average was 62.07, 61.98 and 61.90 respectively.

    These drops are too big for me to still have 330+ ranked rounds.

    The only way this movement could happen is if WGT reset my average to 62.175 and my ranked rounds to 80 during the maintenance. This is the only combination (with the constraint of a whole number of total strokes) that works for these 3 scores and the respective averages.

    I hope this helps you work out what went wrong.

    Happy Hacking

    So, WGTIcon, are you saying that those of us who had sub 60 averages were not suppose to blow up? And if you find a bug within that, are you going to restore the averages to those whose averages blew up 2-3 strokes?
