Did you ever stop to think ...maybe I'm doing to much to "try" and solve a wgt based problem that may NEVER get fixed. OR..get better hardware for yourself. The problems that you descibe I personally never have or, had for that matter. We all deal with the dreaded meter issue, but sometimes that what you do, deal with it. My goodness,all the things your doing to have a smoother running meter, you may want to look at some nicer harware. Good luck with all that man. edge...
Hardware:
ASUS P5LD2 Motherboard with 2 gig Ram interleaved; DDR2
Intel Dual core 3.0 Ghz CPU with 1066hz FSB
Nvidia GT 240 with 1 gig of ram
Philips 24 inch wide Digital monitor;
O/S: Windows XP - Pro optimized for performance.
Internet; 12Mbs
I am a type of person who believes that a smooth meter is achievable no matter what hardware you have as long as you meet their minimum specifications. I also posted sometime back my total CPU load.
Tee: 3%
Fairway: 7%
Green: 30% allow a one count before starting your putting stroke and the load drops to 8%
Flash settings set to high.
Do I think my expectations are unrealistic, no, I do not. Even with a smooth meter, I don't hit the dinger all the time. Wish I did, which adds to the realism of the game.
If I think that there is something wrong, or a good product suggestion, I will say something. Everybody that plays here as a vested interest to ensure WGT excels. The software is in beta and one should not accept something when you know it can be better.
The best way to summarize what I have said would be "Strive for Excellence".
