    tanneralis:

    Every player on this site is reproducing this problem everyday, because it is happening more and more often, surely the producers of this site should be able to reproduce it as well, you're a cop out wgticon.

     

     

    hi

    to be fair, they are not reproducing it, they are encountering it. to reproduce means to have specific steps and to do it every time.

    So WGTicon....

    I have some further questions...

    1. How much time is being seriously dedicated to this?? 

    I do not know. I know that everyone is aware of the issue and that they are working on it. It may seem trivial on this end but it is much different as to finding what causes it. There many dozens if not hundreds of variables. Same was when we looked a the fridge issue.... there were dozens of variables and changing one would impact the other. It tooks weeks of actual testing and several month to fix it before even testing started.

    2. Why are we not having a response from a proper tech with a proper explanation??

    Engineers do not respond here. What would a proper explanation be when we do not actually know what exactly is causing it?

    3. You need steps to reproduce it you say... What steps?? and who is making these necessary?? and again, how much time has been invested in this??

    When something is broken, in order to fix it, we have to identify it first. To identify it, we have to reproduce it.

    4. This thread has been around for getting on 2 months now.... why are you still giving the same excuse as you did on the 09/09/11???    Surely if serious work was being done on this you would be able to give us some true idea as to what is going on and what is ACTUALLY being done???

    I did not give an excuse; I said how it was and until something changes, that is the reality. The thing is, everyone who says they encountered it, including me, none of us can reproduce it because it's random.

    5. You say you are having this problem too... Why is a company that knows there is a problem, still allowing the game to keep rolling along, still happily taking money for balls etc..... WHEN THERE IS A FAULT????  

    Knowing there is a problem doesn't mean we can find it. again, we need exact steps on how to reproduce it as there are (as I have stated) many many different variables as to why it maybe happening.

    This is not a minor issue. It is a more than regular occurrence and one that is seriously affecting the game.  Its costing people real money!! and matches in highly competitive tournaments and Ladder sites.

    When someone is giving the same excuses after 2 months, it tells me and all that read these forums, that no progress has been made and is not being made.  Meanwhile, we see more ads, more silly products eg. Crap balls with Team names on them.

    I am sure that all on here agree... We want REAL answers and EFFORT to correct this fault.

    Stu

    I would like to attack this from different pov. so I propose this:

     

    first 3 people who post 2 different replays with bs bug, will get a sleeve of balls of their choice.

     

    few rules.

    1. must be full bs shot and you must be 100% sure

    2. must be 2 different replays

    3. first 3 people in this thread to post 2 replays in same reply get it.

    thanks:)

    good idea icon, I think you should also stipulate there must have been a bug report sent during game, immediatly after shot.

     

    I know I am guilty of almost never sending in a bug report while in game. We all should do this more. (there is no time to do this in multiplayer really, but there is no excuse to not do it in single player)

     

    The players can't reproduce this in steps. Maybe if we actually send in bug reports the enginneers could find some sort of reason for it.

    Bitching and attacking Icon in this thread shows NO CLASS. NO FRREE BALLS FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

    Seriously guys this thing, this bug, is going to be a tough one to stomp. Just relax. And if you care, try to do you due dilligence I see it once in maybe 200 shots (wild wild guess here)

    You cannot. unless you are streaming and recording your game.

    I have a question Icon...not trying to get balls, etc...but what really is the "bug"?  I'd like to knowfrom your point of view since you have mentioned it happens to you as well.

     

    Sure, I get weird shots and all...just assumed it was me...but would like to get your take on it, as one of the elite WGT players...not just someone complaining.

     

    I'd submit something (just for a fix, not for the balls) if I thought it was relevant.

    a bug, to me, is something that can be reproduced 100% of the time by following exact steps. it's something that game does wrong.

    this is is a bug but until we reproduce it, i can't call u a bug per say.

    after over 12 hours, not 1 replay have been sent to me. right now, i do not need bug reports, just replays.

    thanks

    Icon, I have played a few Stroke Rounds since you asked, all hitting drives with full backspin, and not a single glitch. Asking around, it seems to happen rarely (if ever) in  Stroke Rounds.  Hence the lack of responses to your request for replays.

    Yet, the glitch keeps happening in Match Play and Alt. Shot games.

    Cheers.
