Loop??

  Exactly what does Loop do and why does everyone say to turn it off.  Does it really help the swing meter to turn it off?  I know many times I have played several holes with it turned on then turned it off and I saw no noticeable difference in the meters actions or movement

  just curious

  if you check the other options available, you'll notice play, rewind, forward, etc

  loop does exactly what it says on the tin.

  it loops the video

   

  and, eh..... these options should have been disabled by the programmers

  they are of no use to the user

  It's a programming thing, Loop is for effects (or routines) that are supposed to keep playing.

  I don't think WGT actually uses any (don't flame me if I'm wrong). 

  I've tried it on and off and have not noticed any difference.

  I've certainly not noticed any difference with loop being either on or off.  And I've not noticed any difference clearing caches either, so I don't bother with that.  The caches thing could be down to the spec of my laptop (i7 8-core processor, 4Gb RAM, 1Tb hard drive), but I don't really know as I'm not much into hardware.

  I sometimes wear loops in my hair, a bit like bangs really except a bit harder to secure in place unless I use granny pins, but that's what hair is all about, experimenting. Cannot for the life of me see what it could have to do with the meter though.

  Besides Niv said unchecking or checking it makes no difference but he didn't say it as nicely because he swore and called the practice names.

  On another note, you pay for ice cream twice.

  I think it makes no difference.

   

  The main thing is to disable unnecessary system services and close any unnecessary programs, such as Skype, Spotify, etc., unless you have a lot of memory and high bandwidth broadband.

  what it is all coming down to is the computer.  found out from a gamer that the processer is probably the culprit.  He said a double core processor would probably cure it  I have a single core processor now but by next week it will be a double core.  Dont even ask me what that does, I have no idea but he knows what he is doing and builds gaming devices so taking his word for it.

  loop does nothing in WGT.

  Flash ...(which is becoming redundant soon and one wonders if WGT will also move)

  is a memory hog..  get oodles of memory ESPECIALLY if you are using onboard graphics which share your system memory.
