  I installed the new update last night and now this game is almost unplayable.

  I went from a smooth meter to a herky jerky meter after update..

  If i click the ding now it hits the ball 7 days late.... I shouldnt have to hit every shot 3 inches early to even come close to the ding... Loading time also changed with the new update, It now takes 3 times longer to play the same amount of holes as it just sits there spinning and thinking between shots.. I know its not a signal issue on my end as im hardwired in with with great wifi..   

  Any help would be greatly appreciated..

  Thanks..

  It has been screwed since the Nov 4th update... animations are jerky, meter skips across the grid with no hope of controlling the shot. Long loads, freezing between shots....

  Wgt once was a decent game, no more. They seem to be more concerned over avatar animations, apparrel colors and club sales than the game itself. Frustrating.

  I'm having the same problems.  The game has been ruined by this last update.  Not only am I having the same problems mentioned by BarelyHuman, I also keep getting kicked out of the game.  The new visuals are horrible.

  Mine is working just fine as well, but I've seen plenty of evidence otherwise for some folks.  I think a lot depends on your platform and the age of your device or operating system.

  Not too many issues for Window 10/11 users as long as your system has decent hardware.  Seen a lot of reports of people with issues on Win 7, but honestly that has been end of life so long there are a lot of programs/apps that are going to struggle with it, so I think that's kind of "you" problem compared to "WGT" problem.

  On the other hand, some folks on Android with top of the line tablets/phones and most up-to-date software are having issues where their entire avatar is pink or they have no skin on their faces.  And lots of people with older iPads having issues, but if they try on a newer model they are fine.

  And as to the dots on your avatar while putting, that was an intended change.  They wanted it transparent, which is a good improvement in my opinion, but for whatever reason they felt it looked better with those dots in there instead of just a plain transparency.  The dots on mine are so heavy it defeats the entire purpose of the upgrade since I still can't see the grid dots moving and can barely read the distance/elevation box.

  Mine right now on windows 10 on last two updates.  First one avatar turned pink. Next day pink was gone, but got really jumpy on the green with meter and graphics jumpy. Now avatar has tiny x's sorta like pixels and only on the avatar. But when putt is hit, x's disappear and avatar normal. To me, everything is fine till ya get on the green, then goes screwy. Difficult now to play a tournament which I generally do all the time.

  Update: The game still has many issues, mainly with the meter but other not so serious conditions persist. 

  Tee to green the meter is better, but still not stable. At times it can be severely 'skippy', mostly just a stutter that progresses as it travels across the bar. Hitting the ding is a guessing game.

  Putting is another matter. I play slow meter balls, and the stutter/skip makes a putt near impossible to hit solidly. Lately I just try and lag for a par...maybe. A '3' meter ball is a joke to keep on the green, as the meter flies and jumps to the far right. 

  Other issues are screen locking up, long load times between shots, screen flickers, avatars with no arms, etc. 

  Maybe 2025 will bring some sanity.

  Starting 2 updates ago, my meter began jumping so badly that the game is basically unplayable. I hoped this last update would fix it, but it did not. I have played this game a long time, and this is by far the worst the meter has ever been. WGT just keeps making this game worse. It's a shame.
