    For about the last three months or so I have been having reoccurring freezing and bluffing issues with my browser where it will freeze when I play this game.  I use windows 10 and started with Firefox when I started playing WGT with my new laptop.  I did not have any trouble at all for a while but after about a month or so playing with it I would start freezing up in the middle of a game where I could hardly hit the ball at all and it even got to the point where my screen froze completely and I would have to restart my computer to get it out of its funk.  I then switched back to Maxthon Cloud as that browser treated me well on my old lap top and installed the proper flash player for it.  My issues went away for about 2.5 months, but within the last week or 2 my issues have returned.  This time it seems like my browser bluffs like a video does when it has trouble loading.  The game will be jumpy and after a hole or 2 it will start to freeze up and get to the point where I can't even type or hit the ball at all.  I have to do the same thing where I restart my computer to get it out of the freeze up.

    I have tried reinstalling both my browser and my flash player, along with clearing my browser and flash player after each game.  I also got rid of junk on my computer along with disabling programs I don't need to run when I play this game.  None of that seemed to do the trick as my issues still remain.  I am considering getting a 2nd lap top for WGT play only as I may just have too many programs on my current one for the game to work well for me.  I don't want to get a real expensive one just for game play so what kind and price would you recommend?  Any thoughts would be appreciated.  If anyone is an expert on this stuff and wants to message me privately feel free as well.

     

    Thanks,

    Sounds more like it may be a ram issue.  Another question would be is how much room do you have on your hard drive.  Window swap file is on it, if drive is almost full that can cause a problem.

    Both of these issues can cause what you stated.  Restarting the computer temporarely eleminates the problem.

    Firefox 48 is out now and claims to have solved the "lockup" issue. Have used it this morning and it seems smooth so far.............
