I am very disappointed with WGT for not disclosing the
strain on their servers which has been causing loading issues. They won’t
identify what the strain might be but I’m guessing it has to do with loading
and testing the new course and making changes from Top Golf to whatever and
perhaps the avatar debacle. The loading issue was so bad for me that I was
unable to play for four days. I assumed it must be my computer or internet
service causing the problem but that was baffling me how that could happen
since I purchased a Lenovo Legion gamers computer about a year ago and I have
the best internet service available through Comcast. The game has been playing
flawlessly up to a couple weeks ago. I contacted Comcast and had them do a scan
of my service. Although it did not show an issue but because of its age, they
suggested I replace my router which I did. I did everything I knew to do to
make sure my computer was tuned up and clean. Other than WGT, it was all working
lightning fast and without glitches. It was as if something had targeted only
WGT. I even went as far as contacting a Geek guy to get his advice. I was pulling
my hair out trying to figure out what was wrong. I contacted Nico and asked his
thoughts. I sought counsel from many very savvy WGT friends. The World Cup was
about to begin, and I even notified my club owner that I may not be able to
play because of the issue. Now it is becoming clear that the loading issue is
not just my problem. It is showing its ugly head all over the world. There is
no question that it is a WGT issue. Here is why I am so miffed with WGT. They
knew damn well that their system was stressed. They could have easily told us
that we might be noticing some loading issues for a short time. That would have
been the decent thing for them to do…but they didn’t. I would have understood
that but because of their secrecy, I jumped through all sorts of hoops for over a week, and
it cost me serious money. Come on WGT, can’t you do better than that? I love
this game. It is a technological marvel and I’ve never been a critic of WGT but
you sure let me down on this one.
