    This game is unplayable. The last "update" screwed things up for weeks. I was able to play for a while but now things have gotten even worse.

    I use chrome and my meter is jumpy, to say the least. I'm lucky to hit inside the 2 lines on either side of the ding line. After each hole is complete, the SCORECARD page takes 15-20 seconds before it allows me to click continue.

    I know chrome just downloaded a plugin,Widevine Content Decryption Module - Version: 1.4.8.824. I have disabled it and thought it might help. It didn't. I also tried disabling the pepperflash plugin but WGT tells me I need to download Adobe Flash Player.

    I refuse to spend $ on this game until it's playable. I will only play 9 holes / day, with a ball WGT supplied, so as to keep my consecutive days streak going.

  Apart from the occasional whitescreen the game is playing great for me. Still using Maxthon here.

  If you need any more assistance just start a thread in our country club.

  Betting on Chrome 45, disable Flash, and you have no working Flash.  As Scott says---Try another browser

  Many people play everyday with a playable game.  Based on your computer setup---Try another browser

  Sometimes Scott, I wonder why we even try.  Not going to look it up, but I published a list of my browsers and how each 1 worked.  But people are just too lazy to try and find things.

  +1...since going to Maxthon the game has played great...no meter problems, no long load times and I can now type in the forums with out having every other letter skip...

  I know what you're saying Gary, but he made me think of bacon, so I forgave him.

  To be fair to the OP this was one of his rasher posts.

  Stop trying so hard then, Gary. You don't need to be a smart ass. I'm not too lazy, I just don't have time to spend all day looking through your almighty posts.

  Thanks to everyone else for their suggestions. I appreciate it.

  This was directed at me, that's fine.  Might help to quote it instead of copy and paste.

   

  Here, I looked it up as the post became active, so was easy to find.

  Just did these tests, might be helpful to some.  Just to give all an idea of what to try.

  Not a fancy computer EMachines ET1331G-03W

  win7 home premium 64bit

  amd athlon II x2 235e dual core

  nvidia geforce 6150se intergrated

  6 gig ddr2 memory

   

  This rig is not brand new, bought a few years back at Walmart.

  All browsers open maximized, all have game client as a book mark so they opened maximized also.

  Did not change to full screen on any.

  Do not have any set to auto update, including flash.

  Changed to a WGT rock with R11's.  Played Kiawah first hole tee to cup.

  All running Flash version 16.0.0.305

   

  CHROME 40.0.2214.115

  meter not smooth

  meter ran on after clicking

  tried both pepper and regular flash

   

  OPERA 12.17

  Normally play using this browser

  good meter 

  stopped when clicked

   

  DRAGON 36.1.1.21

  good meter

  meter doesn't stop with pepper

  meter stopped when clicked regular flash

   

  ICE DRAGON 26.0.0.2

  good meter

  stopped when clicked

   

  SRWare IRON 40.0.2150.0

  my second choice for playing

  good meter

  stopped when clicked

   

  MAXTHON 3 3.4.2.3000

  good meter

  stopped when clicked

   

  FIREFOX 34.0.5

  decent meter

  stopped when clicked

   

  Also have waterfox, palemoon, and safari installed that were not tested.

  Untill recently had older versions of flash and different versions on browsers.

  Recent Zero Day for flash, a lot of sites you couldn't  get things to load,(such as videos, including Yahoo)unless you were running a more current version.  Forget about watching anything on Youtube.

  16.0.0.305 was then the current version that loaded and as others have said it overwrote all older versions on the computer.

  It's getting to the point you need different browsers to get to some sites for them to work well.  Otherwise you get flash is out of date or Java is out of date.

   

  Maybe this will help some.

  This was pasted from the other topic.  I will refrain from commenting on the quote or the OP.
