Games blowing up

  I am getting damn tired of getting almost all the way through a round and having WGT start telling me the connection is lost.  Then when I reboot, it won't connect until the time out has already past.  This doesn't count toward experience and costs precious balls and credits used to buy them.

   

  Come on WGT, get your act together.  It has already happened to me twice today.

  What do you do when that box pops up? I see it occasionally, too, and invariably it's not true, or corrects itself when you deny what it says. It might take one or two tries, just don't take WGT's word for it.

  I think it's a slow load issue myself. I only see it when other screwy things go on like 2 players spinning while the guy on the tee completes his shot and you continue. Or the "your browser is corrupted" and you say OK and keep playing. LOL

  I get the warning and click yes (indicating I want to stay connected.  Invariably, it kicks me out and I have to reboot.  The reboot process takes longer that WGT allows to get back into the game.  I just get the revolving circle of death while it is attempting to reconnect to WGT and the click on the "PLAY NOW" icon.  By the time it finishes, it is too late to get back into the game.

  Actually, based on mine and some friends' experiences, this one appears to be a Flash issue (or a 'WGT's inability to deal with Flash' issue - same thing, right?).  A simple cache clear seems to have solved the problem for me.  Good luck!

  In addition to the above as working.  In most cases you do not have to reboot computer.  All it takes is to shut down and restart browser.

  That is exactly what I have been doing.  And it is reconnecting with the WGT site that is taking so long.

  Reset your modem. The last time I had that problem I reset my modem and the problem vanished.
