    BUGS

     

    1) Very long (perpetual?) loading situations: 

    - add an option to reload the match, avoiding players giving up by either forfeiting or rebooting the software.

     

    2) Target pointer/pin/handle disappears: 

    - almost surely only happens when pasting text/symbols in the chat.

     

    3) Invite player to Country Club via software:

    - bugs often happen, not loading friends list;

    - extremely low speed loading friends list;

    - extremely low speed scrolling friends list - add a search box.

     

    4) A player I added as a friend does not appear on friends page on the software, only on the website.

     

     

    IN-GAME SPEED IMPROVEMENTS

     

    1) Allow players to prepare their shots while waiting for the opponent to play:

    - (at least) reinstate the distance-to-hole info when mouse over the balls on the map and add relative elevation info;

    - load all players' shot environments at the same time so all can pre-define their shots; the timer will count down until they lock it or the 1st player makes their shot; when their turn arrives, they will be able to spend their remaining time readjusting the shot or simply execute it; all shots will still be shown to all players.

     

    2) Reinstate the usable cameras for waiting players.

     

    3) Reinstate/add some cameras in some holes for faster decision-making.

     

     

    IN-GAME CHAT

     

    1) Provide pre-defined text such as gl, hf, gg, nb and all frequently used messages.

     

    2) Provide symbols like in any modern chat service.

     

    3) Provide players' names (avatar are slower for identification).

     

    4) Reinstate the multiple lines text capacity.

     

    5) Assing distinctive colors to background of each player name and text for faster identification.

     

     

    STATS & INFO

     

    1) Show best score for each course, at least on the website.

     

    2) Show history score for each course, at least on the website, but also in lobbies and while playing.

     

    3) Show a simulation of your AVG change for each selected course while selecting course and half in the game creation lobby, join game lobby and while in-game, depending on which score you might get.

     

    4) Show "member since" in Country Club page.

     

    5) Add a text box and/or assignable tags for each player page when adding to friends or blocking, so one can know the reason (for example, I want to know who to invite for alternative shots and not to invite to stroke play in lobby).

     

    6) Show Country Clubs contests results history in RESULTS page instead of just guiding to LEADERBOARDS.

     

    7) Show one's contribution points to Country Clubs clashes in results page (example: "You have added 100 points to your CC final score.").

     

     

    BETTER NAVIGATION

     

    1) In main page add shortcuts for frequently used pages or played modes.

     

    2) Provide pre-defined custom lobby options to be saved, to avoid having to set all options each time you search/create a game.

     

    3) Provide "invite to Country Club" option in each player page in the software (it's only available on the website).

    I'm confused by all this.  I didn't see a forced update when I tried to play on 12/ 29 and haven't been able to play on my Window 10 laptop.  I get an error when trying to play after "game is up to date" shows.  A small window appears with a 20% load and then an exclamation mark appears quickly before shutting down. 

    How can I fix this myself so I can get back to playing?

    ScottHope:
    Sorry guys, but using the golf.exe file might be a way to postpone an update for a short while, but that appears to be all it is good for.  : (

    I thought that was all it was meant for, stay on the side-lines while others sort out the problems.  Anyway you get the "improved update".

    Completely changing the subject, is this still possible?

    "Why don't you remove it yourself?

     

    Menu > Game Settings > Scroll down to " End Of Game Messages > Click Off > Save."

    in relation to the gift balls message?

    Sometimes I find myself waking in the middle of the night convinced I've hit the wrong button,  Other nights fear of the nightmare to come keeps me awake. I just wondered if there was an easy way to get rid, but got stuck at "Menu".  (what menu? where? which page? the app or here?)  Another sleepless night I reckon.

    That was the flash era Menu....I think I remember seeing it back then, definitely not on PC App or here on WGT.com
