  I read this whole thread and still am not sure if what I already have-an absolute perfect setup, meter and all for many years-is going to be intact after trying this. Totally separate browser and Flash version, never affected by any updates or such, only serves the game.

  You know what they say about fixing things that ain't broke............

   

  p.s., Dyin' to get  a jump on the future.  ;-)

  Downloaded perfectly and opened fine except for the size of the window which is not adjustable to size of the monitor which in my case is 42 inches and on a wall well away from where I sit. 

  But I am sure that is something they still are working on as this is a beta version.

  The game play was smooth and as I also have played the mobile version not as disconcerting as others who have only played PC might find.

  I use my mouse not a keyboard so the adjustment to the meter will probably be my biggest challenge ha ha.

  I am just happy that as a player who was here at the beginning over 15 years ago I will still be able to play my favorite chill out pastime.

  Hopefully when there is a full downloadable version we will be able to make adjustments to the actual window so we can still play full screen. Unless I missed something in settings that is there to make adjustments already.

  When flash ends WGT game play as we know it is gone. Totally different game. It is a work in progress and improvements will be made but it will never be the same game. Have to learn a totally new game if I want to continue to play it. I feel like an old dog that my owner has moved my food bowl and I can't find it now. sigh

  Windows asks you for permission to install it. Shut your anti virus off and the put an exception in the anti virus. It does not have a valid certificate, so you have to allow it.

  Its in options>video i was able to get it full screen on my 37 inch monitor. Im not sure what to think yet, but never been a mobile player other than a handful of times. First quick reaction, not good.

  I have three computers, I'll setup my Vista for my charts and play on windows 10.

  I can use my charts by hitting the windows key. Kat's does not stay on top.
