  I was playing ready go earlier, doing o.k at b'page 18.  On the 10th, I teed off, only for the meter to skip just as i pressed mouse.  What am I doing complaining you might ask loosing a ball due to meter?...Well i was back on the tee having to do it all again, this time i left the meter run a few times to make sure it was smooth, i pressed mouse on ding, meter didn't stop untill way past the right box past ding, another slice into weeds, another lost ball. 2 fresh Callways gone in a blink & the ready go tournaments thats ruined due to a quadrouple bogey, and none of it down to me. If it was my fault due to messy play or me missing ding, fair enough, but thats $3 lost in 1 hole due to the damn meter..(thats been smooth all day untill those particular shot's) 

  The amount of people who complain about meter issues (all with top spec cpu's) and nothing what so ever has been done about it.  I havn't complained about anything in weeks, but loosing $3 on 1 hole due to meter is enough to make the happiest person in the world angry.....PLESE WGT do something about servers/meter, this game would be soo much better than what it is now...(or is that what you prefer,knowing i have to go out and maybe buy a new pack again now for another $3..no wonder meter isn't sorted yet)

  sorry everyone for the complaining again, but i feel better now its off my chest lol

  Have to agree with ya here.  I lost 2 cals to the meter myself recently, one after the other, in 2 diff spots on same shot, insane.  Yesterday I played in a ready go in the morning, meter was semi smooth, did ok. Then the rest of the day, was filled with super skippy meter, and not just the meter, the graphics skipped all over too. The loading times were immense, and I only got to finish two rounds all day. People being booted, load errors, disconnects, it seems only playable in single player, and then only for free, soon as you play for money, bam, everything intensifies and things get worse.  Even when I was dinging the shots, the ball was going nowhere near where it was supposed to, 10 mph wind right to left, aim right, ding and it goes way right.  I finally just quit and said enough for the day.  They are having huge server issues and something tells me they are downplaying it and not going to fix it, because they are in negotiations with a big publisher and are about to be gobbled up. I have seen some of the top players complaining in the last week, so it isn't just us newbies, or our pc's, that is just a line bs.

  My meter has been smooth all day until now. I've had to stop playing due to the meter, it skips nearly every shot, so i'm going to give it a miss untill tommorrow.  But thats not good for WGT though, people having to stop playing due to meter, there's at least 3/4 ready go revenue/challenge matches they've lost & ball depreciation/new packs etc etc. 

  My game's been relatively smooth for weeks, but all of a sudden its gone unplayable, and loading is an issue in challenge matches aswell (maybe not me all the time, but my opponents)

  I'm not a complainer, in fact I have stood up for WGT in some of my posts, but I have to agree with the above.

  I have lost 5 paid for balls in the bast 24 hours... all because of meter issues. Like the OP, I always have a practice swing first to check the meter and then on my shot the bloody thing stops dead on the left hand side or shoots across to the far right.

  Frustration caused by my lack of ability is one thing, but wanting to throw the bloody pc out of the window through bad programming is quite another,

  I love this game, but am very close to the point of quitting because;

  • I can't afford to keep buying balls, just for the game to steal them away
  • I can't stand posting poor scores over which I have no control (meter issues and course condition vagaries)
  • Quitters (but that's another post)

  Apologies for the negativity!

  I have to agree guys. Im not playing RG,s for a while now. Ive had to quit 2 RG,s in the last 2 days because the game wont let me win. Let me explain: Im hitting perfect shots all the way to the greens, most of the time landing between 4-7 feet from the hole. I check out the break, nothing there, so hit my shot only to see the ball going directly left or right. If i did manage to birdie a hole, the meter would spike on the next hole. Im not made of cash, so i sometimes set up a practice round to play, with starter balls, and clubs to suit them. Never a problem with the meter when i do this. Makes you wonder.
