  I haven't chimed in here for awhile......but I see it's not too late as the "professional programmers and techs" struggle with fixing this mess .................................................................... I have been in the repair industry my entire life and when I met a challenge I couldn't conquer....Guess what i did ?..................I asked for help from someone more knowledgeable............... No shame in that WGT. Just common sense. Get over your inadequacies and ask someone who knows what to do. (College computer geeks ..maybe?) This time frame for a fix to this mess is total BS.

  Agree 100% with Romax.
  
  Have they had tech guys working on this the entire time? 3 weeks worth of paying second rate skill when someone who charges 5 times as much could probably have fixed it in a few hours and saved them a fortune.
  
  I once took a car to a back yard mechanic when it wouldn't start after I changed the battery. He randomly changed parts over the course of a couple of weeks before I gave up and towed it to a dealership. The mechanic opened the bonnet (hood for you over the pond guys), pressed the red button to reset the safety cut off that activates if you have a crash and told me it probably happened when I closed the bonnet a bit to hard.
  
  Seriously WGT, get yourselves a good tech guy and life will be so much better for all of us.

  MainzMan:

  In my opinion....no....for the simple reason it does not affect revenue. They have probably had someone looking at it, but the "fix" is not a priority.

  I am not a computer whizz, but what I don't get is, before you roll out something, you back it up......then if the new release has issues, you revert to the backed up file....not rocket science, but then again.....where is the QA program in the first place.

  But I suppose then it would have meant a clash would have been skipped.......back to revenue.....

  If Romax and MM are right.....then getting some decent tech guys is long overdue.....the current crop are obviously incompetent.

  Having just come off moderation i will be careful......as all i did was argue that the Clash was rubbish and join in debate that cheats are prospering on here with very little being done about it......that was enough for the glass house..........but this is ridiculous...3 weeks....i repeat 3 weeks.........wow.......not intersted in any other part of this forum now....except our advert.........so last word..........can someone from WGT explain whats taking 3 weeks please?

  Bit like the British car industry in the 70s. Got really cold and cars would not start first time. Very complicated pieces of machinery mate.......What about my light that does not work then? Order you one in mate. When? Soon as the parts department returns from strike............Say 3 months..........................Hmmm the industry was opened to the Japanese who made cars that did start all year, first time, and had heaters as standard that also worked.......WGT is a monopoly so I guess gets away with it, but you can't help but wish they did some competition to gee the place up.

Sometimes you think the games just not worth the Hassle, some friends l youst to have a game or two with no longer login to play....................................................... My Club have just shelved a Round Robin matchplay competition due to start this week wich would have taken a few months to play and l dare say each of us would have used up several sleeves of balls playing in it....................................................... Most of us are more than fed up with these Glitches just draging on week after week
