Meter

  i don't know what happened during the last update, but it wasn't a success. when you go to hit the ball, the meter bar does not show up on the first swing. if you tap the bar once, then again, the line will appear, but you have to be careful to not hit it the third time. This has thrown the mechanics of the game off for the player. it's like taking a forced practice swing that you have to initiate. I can't even play a nine hole game without this driving me absolutely buggy. Please investigate this and fix. i know updates take time, but they should be tested thoroughly before being put into production guys.

  Ahh, good. I thought it was just me.

  Very frustrating.

   

  What browser are you guys using?

  I'm using Chrome

  I'm using Chrome as well. Even uninstalled it and reinstalled. Apparently this isn't a priority for them to fix. I thought they would have backed the changes out already, but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.........

  I am using Firefox so it can't be a browser problem.

  Unfortunately, nobody in the programming department finds any of this alarming or a reason to fix it. I haven't been playing but maybe once or twice a day just to see if they fixed it. As you can see from the date of the post, it's been going on for days now and nobody at WGT is being tasked to fix it apparently. When you roll an update out, you're supposed to have a back out plan. I guess nobody told them that part.

  Well WGT did some quick fixes this morning but NOT THE SWING METER!!!! Still driving me crazy. Makes playing a round a lot less enjoyable. Hope they fix it soon. I am going to play less until they do.

  I'm having the same issue. I use Firefox and had also upgraded to Windows 10. I had the same problem on Win 10, but because of gaming issues causing system hangs etc. I had to back down to Windows 7. The swing meter issue is there in both versions of windows. It is very aggravating and tends to slow the game play terribly. I also have had to hurry depending on what timer is being used and sometimes have mistakenly hit the ball during the practice swing costing me a stroke.... grrrrr

  i won't play a round to completion. i start one just to see if they fixed it or not, when i see they haven't, I end the round. I reported this problem a week ago and still NOTHING! I don't see myself spending any money on this game until such time as they figure it's time to maintain the game. If you're not going to correct problems when they come up guys, why should anyone spend anything on it?

  Thanks for posting this!  I am having the same meter and some hanging /crash problems. It started as soon as I went to windows 10. I wondered if it was just a windows 10 issue or my computer but that does not seem to be the case. Chrome is better but still not right. Instead of being fun the game is aggravating.
