WGT window crashing

  Sorry for no bug report, but it doesn't necessarily let me do that.

  Twice now I have been in a game.

  1. Waiting for my playing partner to load up going into a ranked MP game on StA.

  2. On hole #6 of BPB in a practice MP game.

  On both occasions I went in to change my status to busy, and the game crashed out on me and gave the error to the tune of: Sorry... there has been an error... try restarting the game client... etc. (I apologize as this is probably way off on what the message was saying)

  Basically it looks like anytime I was trying to change status within an ongoing game it was crashing the game out.

  I am using internet explorer 7 on 32 bit Win Vista service pack 1. Thanks!

  Hi XBic,

  Thanks for the report.  We'll look into this issue.

  Vaguely similar problem here.

  My first round at St. andrews was full of Flash crashes - I hadn't cleared my cache(s) yet. I did this and it seemed ok then. I haven't had any "oh snaps!" since that with Google Chrome. Note I was set to "unavailable" - before the update (which is now "hidden") If I remember correctly, I changed my status to avaliable before teeing off a second time. maybe there was a strange issue with this naming change there? I may be mis-remembering, but I think it might have said "unavaliable" instead of Hidden when i logged on this evening.

  and then...

  Playing a multiplayer stroke play game. BPB back. on 17 I decided to change my status to "busy". The game then crashed - but it wasn't instantaneous.  It was after my opponent hit his tee shot and the ball landed. I think I changed my status while he was at the tee. I did not get an error message at all - the screen just sort of blinked - and then I was at the resume game screen. strange.

  and then...

  Just now, with the wgt forum page up, I changed my status to "Hidden" - which logged me out! I suddenly was just at the home page, not logged in, and the client pop-up was still there - no error, but I was logged out there too.

  It was like I hid from myself.. ha ha

   

   

   

  P.S can I get a status option that says  "tired of all this freaking snow!!!"
