As I am slowing down and planning to retire after 2017 VUSO I felt a need to clarify a couple major misinformations concerning the meter. After hours and hours and hours of insane madness over a crap meter I found out a couple things. You won't regret reading if you are one of the many like me who struggled with the wgt meter and are an honest player that doesn't use auto ding software.
I'd bet anyone money its the mouse itself that causes 99% of wgt meter problems. The meter slide is a classic symptom of a low polling rate cheap mouse or a wireless mouse.
So enjoy, you might finally find some peace with wgt
So lets get right into it... Most people on this site use a cheap 1080p 60 hz monitor. You want something around 100hz. You can find a very cheap 144hz monitor these days. I'll explain later, you can get away with not upgrading this..
Bare minimum you want a 250 ms polling rate mouse, most people use a wireless mouse or worse a cheap wired mouse (polling rate is the time your click signal travels through pc to what you see on monitor) because anything less and the fluctuations of the polling rate can severely hinder consistency in a flash game like this. I ran a test and the rate of a cheap mouse went anywhere from 100 to 150. Once you get to 500ms those flucuations don't matter.
if one changed just one of those two things, he would be stunned at the difference. You change both and practically right as you click it registers on screen.
You really want 500ms
I found that the higher rated polling rate mice makes timing consistent, and didn't have one slide by while next click registers faster. Higher refreshrate monitor in hz made click show up more instantaneously, but did not however fix inconsitencies in meter responsiveness,
All being said if you have an older slow pc, these recommendations may not help as much as if you have a modern pc. But a modern pc WILL not solve these problems and a mediocre new pc will beat a top of the line pc if these stipulations are met. Save your money,
Personal recommendation.
Browser: maxthon 5 cloud
Ram: 8gb ddr3 1600 or better (I'm at 16GB ddr4 3000)
CPU: i5 or amd ryzen 5 or better (Ryzen 5 1600 oc'd to 3.9 ghz)
Monitor: 144hz 1080p monitor (2560x1440p 144hz monitor with freesync)
Mouse: any decent gaming mouse priced about $30, make sure it's a 500ms polling rate (razer abyssus v2 1000 polling rate mouse)
Run cc cleaner every couple weeks along with browser cache and specifically clear the wgt flash file once every week or two.
Turn off antivirus software while you play that includes windows defender which you have to disable every time you restart pc
