    Hi everyone. We heard you all loud and clear. Obviously it's crazy for us to give you a 2 minute reconnect limit and then have you watch a 5 minute advertisement. This was not supposed to happen. 

    That being said, the issue is now fixed. Make sure to clear you cache and cookies to make sure the changes take effect.

    Question Champ.....can you explain what issue has been fixed? I read it as the long ads have been removed (and WGT always said you had no control over these).

    If you are talking about crashing games, this was supposedly fixed days ago......but games keep crashing (read the forums).

    Agreed with Andy though.....I have not seen an ad for years....no need. For people not to do something about it....says volumes about their thought processes. Animal Farm springs to mind.

    This ad issue has been resolved. While we do not control what ads are in the game, it is my understanding is that this specific ad was not meant to be where it was. 

    We are aware that the end of game freezing issues are still happening, even though I did write a post that we had put in a fix for it which to my understanding did help clear the issue for some users, or had at least made it less common. QA is still working like mad on the issue since it's still occurring.

    Appreciate the honesty....but you mentioning QA did make me smile!

    Perhaps these issues should not occur in the first place.......if QA was real.

    Yup and I can tell you how this happened-they took MY occasional crash and made it automatic. My guess is WGT took my normal endings, the few that I used to have, and gave them to somebody else. 

    Heh, here's a silver lining for ya. The workaround for the memory bug that's still active is to close your browser. The way AS games end these days forces you to close it so maybe WGT should claim to have fixed something.  LOL

    It seems to me that playing an uninterrupted round has become a rarity. It started with multi-played games and now is common place even in single player games. Way too many players getting disconnected, frozen screens, blue screens, disconnections from the game server.

    I don't offer an explanation as to the problems, however it seems to have exacerbated with the introduction of the infamous clash tournaments and again with the introduction of the mobile platform. I used to enjoy playing WGT, but as of late it seems to be an un-enjoyable chore on many days, just to complete a round. My playing has dropped off and is at an all time low at this point. My optimism is eroding as each day passes with WGT being silent except to tell us idiotic things like ( clear you cache, send a bug report, send a screen shot, etc. etc.)  So far today I have tried to complete a 9 hole round without success. I made it to the 4th hole the first attempt and the 8th tee the second attempt before losing the game server connection and not allowing a choice to continue the game (this is not a problem of me clearing my cache)

    Does anyone else suffer these problems as of late? I've just about had it until they fix the game!!

    As one of those closest to the scene I can confirm this - AFAIS, the sky over Bielefeld is as bright as day (9:40 pm here) from their working madness (sp?).

    OTOH, rumour has it that they try to fix it by eyesight -  looking at it intensively ;)
