Returning to game glitches. Has there been a WGT response to the game loading issues? When I was using a wifi connection there would be the occasional, but short loading issue. Moving forward…
Playing games now with a direct Ethernet connection with a averaging 450Mbps. The loading issues are more frequent shot to shot, hole to hole, and longer.
A little different for me . For the first 5 years I had high speed ethernet ( during the flash years ) .. I experienced all of the normal regularly reported glitches . For instance , 8.5 hole Alt Shot rounds , failed invites , etc .
When I lost that fantastic internet connection . First as a result of financial changes and also unable to get it in the area that I lived .
I then had no choice but to rely on the very weak WiFi signal in the area that I lived . For the next 5 years . Including the last 2 years of PCEA . I tried every kind of WiFi . Mobile WiFi , hot spot WiFi , satelite WiFi , little device WiFi's .
All with terrible connections . Making what I thought was bad in flash . 10 times worse .
Making it impossible to connect with any sort of MP round . Mainly Stroke MP and Alt Shot . I just couldn't do it for 5 years .
But I could connect some of the time in the Coin Rooms . 3 hole Coin games were quick enough . 3 failed rounds and 2 successful rounds . Was a good session . Not really but I'll take it because I was getting some rounds in . On the verge though of not being worth it at all .
Until June 2022 . I finally acquired high speed ethernet ( fiber optic even I think ) hard wire internet . Again .
Wow . What a difference . Have not had a game ending error ( on my end ) since that day . What a relief .
Now in a sessoin I have still 3 failed rounds and 2 successful ones . Just the same . But the 3 failed rounds are clearly my opponents forfeiting . Which has become just all too frequent as a viable choice to completing a losing round here in WGT .
I play 3 hole rounds exclusively . These players are in a hurry but aren't just trying to save time . They are arrogant fools . That are poor sportspersons . Cannot deal with defeat . And could care less about game playing etiquette . Or whether the opponent doesn't get his or her win . There are a lot I mean tons of these types playing now .
Some of them though appear to be GR8 sports . Having a lively , interesting chat for 2.5 holes . Then BAM ," So and so has forfeited " . Wait What ? . I just don't know .
Sometimes it's a bad shot . Sometimes it's a bad score . Sometimes there's time to easily catch up and win or tie . But mostly already tied . Not about to lose by 1 stroke .
These players are in such a hurry . They could never handle an Alt Shot or a Match play round . And have to concede a hole . Just NO WAY . Lol .
I mean to not be able to control ones self for the duration of a 3 hole round . That is a seriously troubling mindset . That is all too acceptable these days . IMSO .
