  The mouse is wireless and was the same one. The meter jumps completely across the path.

  Seems the mouse is the common denominator here.   I had issues with a wireless mouse even with fresh batteries before they were needed.  Changed to a wired mouse and things were totally different.  That was when I was using Windows 7,  fast forward to using windows 8, I started getting bad mouse lag and it only got a little better with Windows 10.

   

  I'm now just used to clicking a bit early to counter the lag between mouse click and the meter stopping.  I really notice it when I play WGT on my work pc that still has Windows 7 and tend to early click everything because the meter stops when I click lol.  Then I get home and have to readjust all over again.  SMH.

   

  Bottom line,  try a different mouse or at the very least, a new battery in the mouse.

  Another computer of mine,newer model with windows 10. The mouse is wireless and was the same one. The meter jumps completely across the path. Every shot goes to the right.

  You need to disable transparency and Areo. The meter is sliding past the ding which is why i cannot play on windows 10 but disabling them 2 does help.

  Definitely doing that when I get home.  Windows 7 at work, and Win10 at home, could explain it for me.  :)

  Thanks for the tip.I disabled both and got 2 shots off before the gremlin took over. I cannot stop the meter.Every shot goes far right. The only way I can play is to save the game and log off then wait awhile and resume. Not fun anymore.

  Same here and it made no difference for me.   

   

  Have you tried a different mouse yet?  I'm thinking there is a hairline fracture inside the mouse and after a little time in use, the heat causes just enough expansion that all hell breaks loose.

  Have you checked to see what other applications are running on your computer when you play WGT?

  It sounds like the CPU in your computer is to busy to process the interrupt from your mouse when you click to hit the ball.

  I've been using Chrome for over 2 years to play WGT. If my meter isn't smooth some application on my computer other than WGT has started running in the background and is causing the meter issue.

  One of the most import features of modern processors is ensuring the L2 and L3 cache is set correctly in your registry.

  Not all CPU's will have a L3 cache.

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]

  
  "SecondLevelDataCache"=dword:00004000

  The above value is for a specific processor, and should not be used unless your CPU has the same characteristics.

  L3 cache is tricky to set and I will not dwell on its implementation, but it too will have and impact on computer performance and stability.

  The correct implementation of these characteristics will improve stability of your computer, and performance.

  First find what cpu is installed on your system, and what L2 and L3 cache is.

  You most likely need to talk to a microsoft technician to set the L3 cache, but the above registry is perfect for L2 cache.

   

  Please note, if your system has two physical CPU's the value you apply is just for one CPU.   Reason, it is a shared pipe.

  Downloaded Maxthon,after 1 or 2 holes cant control the meter. Tried Avast Safe Zone browser and got the same. Tried Edge (IE) and no different. Turned off pepperflash in Chrome and the game won't load.
