  I have basically the same set up as you,specs age etc for my PC.If you go to file hippo and download Comodo Dragon 33.0 version it may solve you issues with meter as mine is very smooth.The newer versions of Comodo are pathetic,in File Hippo just click on download Comodo,it will give you new version but there is an option to scroll down to previous versions.

  I see I perhaps should have not started the thread here as I am not asking for help any longer.

  I just wanted to point that that even veteran players like me, who though complains about a bad meter were silly & unreal, have now run into an spiral of desperation trying to play the game with an smooth meter.... and after almost 6 moths of trying it, I finally give up.

  Eric

  I figured you had the right version of Win7 with the software you use, but wanted to put that out there just in case....lol

  Let me make 1 more attempt to keep you here....other than the Chrome pepper flash problems and IE being a terrible browser, I have found any browser works fine when set up properly, and used all of them....I prefer the FF browser and have always used it on multiple computers....

  The game has only been "unplayable" for me 3 times....1 was that horrid update when WGT was starting the move to the mobile app which affected all browsers...

  2nd time it was a compatability issue with my Anti virus software....

  3rd time it was a compatability issue with my software firewall (Zone Alarm) that I figured out by accident...LOL...updated the firewall and the game was smoother than ever

  Just saying you might want to look somewhere other than browsers and drivers etc....but none of that will do anything about the disconnect issue.

   

  Good Luck to you regardless....hope to see ya around again soon!

  We should not have to be computer gurus to play this "free" game which plenty of people pay each month to play. Point is WGT declares that all problems originate from our end, not true at all. After each update more and more problems occur and increase , point is that WGT is making so much money off of us that they simply don't care about the quality of their product or customer satisfaction. Very sad state of affairs but true.

  Not to make lite of people's issues, I have my own as well, but it's not like the game is made of Lego or something.

  This game is like a train that keeps getting shunted onto faster and more efficient tracks and rail systems.

  Problem is it's an old, beat up, rickety wreck of a train that was never ever meant to carry the passenger load it is. They just kept connecting more and more cars on without upgrading the engines, bogey systems, braking systems or the bathrooms.... Especially the bathrooms.

  So now you have this busted huge-@ss wreck of a train, running along tossing sh*t everywhere, parts flying off, making more noise than a busted chainsaw and the passengers keep yelling to the conductors about whatever isn't working for them at the moment.

  I find it all very amusing... LoL..... ..i.,

  Just posted this to a friend who asked me to activate the pepperflash a try to see if the meter was better.

  __________________________________________________________________

  Hey Don,

  I can only with pepperflash using Chrome and it is just terrible even playing on my own. I see the hard disc is completely quiet but still the meter is way too choppy in 8 shots out of 10.

  I can disable pepperflash with Comodo Dragon but meter is not smooth all the time, still ugly. Have tried with Maxthon but is the same history. 

  It annoys me a lot to see there is no solution, no matter what I do.

  Until 4-5 months ago the game was enjoyable because the meter, mainly with Chrome was smooth 95% of the time, then they came some updates that I could see I started having problems with the meter and posted in the forums...I HAD never ever complained about the meter before since I joined in 2010. I always found the way to fix the game but clearing cache, history, etc.

  I am done with this game.

  Using the same computer as 5 years ago; QuadCore Pentium 7, 3.00 ghz, Windows 7 with 12 gb ram...so no problems with the pc specs.

  Using same design programs as 4-5 years ago when all was smooth with the game....very enjoyable.

  Just played the single uneven match and scored ok due to putting good but missing all dings, absolutely all because of the choppy meter.

  Cya's Don. I won't delete the account but I will not be around, until a big fix shows up and make my meter smooth again.

  Regards, Eric 

  I had a similar problem a while back and found the only solution was to Un-install all browsers except IE.. Remove all traces of Flash in my computer, you can get help with that online. Then do a clean up with defrag and ccleaner and Glarys Utility. Then re-install just 1 browser which you played wgt most on.

  LOL! Muy bien puesto Liz,,,,,

  I still have to agree that this game has outgrown its original programming. There are sooooo many added features, how can there not be bugs and along with those bugs a "meter" the key component of the game, not be a stuttering mess.

  This game has good days and bad and its been that way since it was developed. Not to say, a clean and decent computer may help that meter along too.
