    It is recommended that you clear your Flash and Browser cache every time we release a Product Update. If you haven't cleared your Flash and Browser caches since we released St Andrews then chances are you might be experiencing some slower load times and/or load manager errors, especially during the start of the game.

    To fix these problems:

    1. Click --->  Optimize Your WGT Experience
    2. Follow the instructions at the bottom to clear your Flash & Browser caches.
    3. Restart your browser and try again!

    When you clear your Flash and Browser cache you are deleting the game files and settings that are stored on your PC. That means during your very first game you will experience longer than normal wait times while your PC re-downloads the necessary course and game files. That also means you will need to reset any in-game options such as graphics quality and reflections before you tee off for your first round.

    You should NOT clear your caches every day or every week. That will only cause you more headache because you will constantly be downloading game assets. You should only clear caches when we release a Product Update or if you start to experience prolonged loading issues.

    A foursome is only as strong as its weakest link, so be sure to point any players that you see having loading issues to this blog for help. Helping them helps everyone!

    Hit 'em well

     

    ...Just a friendly reminder.

    good reminder, just went through this today, as well as removing temp files on my pewter, made a noticeable difference. A good registry cleaning and reg defrag doesn't hurt anything either, as well as a hard drive defrag.

    oh ya, and making sure your swap file is set correctly makes a HUGE difference overall.

    How many of us do regular monthly maintenance to keep our machines running smooth? be honest now, you are only hurting yourself (well, and others in the same game) by ignoring it!

    Great additional points VH.

    Hopefully this thread will lend as a reminder for everyone from now on. I'm guilty of not performing proper monthly maintenance on my computer. When I did, the registry was all whacked out. It's good to go now.

    I'm experiencing a better round of golf now that I downloaded "Game Booster", and by keeping up on computer maintenance.

    Anyone else have any ideas on keeping our machines clean for better game play?
