  WGTicon:

  We will have a short downtime tonight starting 11pm pdt. Expected downtime is less than an hour.

  These downtime posts have to be painful for icon to post. They get shorter and sweeter every time knowing the proverbial aftermath.

  Baggs brings up a good point, and as usual, Andyson clears the fog in a classic manor.

   

  Play well

  You want meat balls with dat?

   

    Of course I do;)

   

    Now, ya made me effing hungry.

   

  BTW, I have one of those little CPU/Ram monitoring things running up top right of my screen (from the free IOBOT SW)

   

  FWIW, I am on a 2009 Laptop, Win 7, 2 gigs of ram.

   

  When I open and play WGT on Maxthon, my CPU stays in the low 10% usage range, RAM is about 35-40% usage.

   

  Now only other thing I do is run GB Boost (not "game booster) and then use the IOBOT Booster and it shuts down another 8 ro 9 programs/or processes, I don't know which...but have 60-65 things going on still.

   

  Rarely get a stutter, and since changing from Windows Aero? to Basic, rarely get a "zoomer" meter.

   

   My latest thing I did, to eliminate all the BS game play, was to do a deep uninstall of Chrome...even after Chrome was uninstalled, it still showed 4 or 5 Chrome apps running and eating up my RAM and CPU...How the Eff could that be?...well, a bit of internet searching and a few hours later, I got rid of every trace of Chrome I had...now, low RAM and low CPU usage.

   

  Still can't hit the effing ding often enough, but nary a stutter/skip/zoomer...

   

    Now, off to boil a pot, slice a loaf for some garlic bread, grate some cheese...and enjoy my Friday night!

   

  PS, thanks for the explanation Andy.

  poor advice. please disregard this.

  So am I the only one who has to to restart my god damn game like three times every time I play the game. And I should not have this f___in problem with a level 71 slow meter Nike balls,and it is not my side of the internet that is the problem. Because I can score -7,its not the meter.It is w.g.t flash freezing up in the middle of my shot routine. I have to restart three times at least every game I play.

  Wow. Idk what the hell just happend?!@#

  I just got a new free  version of Norton from my Comcast and uploaded it. Re-booted and holy cow!

  This game plays smoother and crisper than it has ever played! I'm in shock. Not ONE meter hiccup of any kind after several rounds! Fast loading, wonder METER!

  I cant' believe it. I'm not sure if it's anything that wgt did. Maybe the new Norton fixed a bunch of errors or,,idk wtf wow this is awsome.

  So maybe it was the old Norton giving me fits with the meter all along?

  wow

  This is entirely possible. AV activity can definitely get in the way.

  I have one big main problem.. I love to play MP games to relax and have a laugh and a bit of banter with my friends.. This is being ruined for all of us due to the problem with the chatbox typing glitch.. When I try and type it is stopping half way through a sentence and I am also missing certain letters, W,S,X A and F.. This only happens in the chatbox during the game and is very irritating to say the least..

  Totally spoils what used to be a nice relaxing couple of hours..

  Can you please sort this out before my Laptop ends up going through the window!!!! Thanks

  Save your laptop, use Teamspeak or Skype.

  This is because every time the screen pic changes, the chat box defaults to off. Totally annoying, too, because most people look down when they type and don't see that what they were typing got interrupted between shots.
