  I'm not really fussed about it, but has Wgt released a post telling us what they did the other nite

  You mean the "three hour internal maintenance (announcement)"? Nope - I've seen nothing else.

  Some (including me) experienced a short total shutdown - WGT's URL wasn't available any more. Perhaps they moved to other servers and the public nameservers had to update??

  Now, I experience a deja-vu: Local CPU load (and temperature) rises more than just before the update, similar to some months ago. Again, I have to take care to avoid an "overheated" shutdown of my PC.

  Yeah.  Site was down for awhile at my end.  I've noticed the rolls on the greens have changed as the ball is not turning as much but that might be just me.

  +1 Also game doesnt load properly getting more blsck screens between holes and more game freeze up too . Overall play is different  and somewhat sluggish . But they have not responded to anything posted about it at all . Maybe it was only work being done on the mobile platform but the feedback is saying that it has affected the pc platform as well . So they will stay quiet and act like nothing is wrong until they can figure out what went wrong .

  I've played quite a few rounds since the last downtime and have noticed nothing different, either on the mobile version or the PC.

  Yep.  My puter is sluggish and see the stuttering on the screen.  Only started to happen after the last downtime.

  Well as of noon on the 19th I've totally lost the ability to play. Locked up on 2nd hole, Locked up on start up, Locked up while changing option to flag animation on. When it locks I can't even close the site I have to power down my computer. I have a MAC and have never had this issue before yesterday

  hi,

  Typically, monthly downtime are for product updates. Mid-month usually means server maintenance. Last one was long because we were replacing some hardware and had some unexpected issues. Once in a while, we can get a bug fix in mid month downtimes, but that's rare.
