my birdies not submitted

Postby oneputtchris on Tue Mar 16, 2010 6:07 am

I'm playing the Flight tour at Smokey Hills, 3rd round. For some reason I'm playing pretty good for me.....-6 after the 7th hole. That makes me - 30 for the tournament after 7 holes. Then I birdie 8 and 9, but the score on the leaderboard remains at -30....I then birdie 10 and and the leaderboard finally gives me a break and records THAT birdie to make it -7 or -31 for the tournament. On my score during the game however, it shows I'm -10 after the 10th hole. I don't really get that many good rounds going, so I'm pretty miffed at being screwed out of 2 birdies. Know what I mean? I turned my computer off to come here to air my grievance and maybe when I go back to the game it will let me resume for a 'crash'.

I have had this happen. The cause was my connection timed-out after a couple of holes. If you just keep going and finish the round, your correct score gets submitted. At least that's the way it has worked for me.

So I went back and finished my 3rd round....ended up -16. Guess what? NADA! The stats for the 3rd round, if you want to check, shows that I'm still playing and am on hole 10. I guess the 3 rounds I did were a big waste of time? Thanks for the feedback tour ads.

mike's right, sometimes your isp loses its virtual connection with the game server, and the stats just won't submit at the end. even though it lets you play out the round. i think it has more to do with the isp than anything you could do on your end.

fortunately, i've never shot a -16 anything, so when i lose a round/tournament, it's no great loss. (8

think we mentioned this b-4, but try playing off line, when your at the events screen at the bottom under game settings click the play off-line radio button. Your computer will still be on-line but the game will disconnect while your playing and then reconnect after holing out on 18. You will not lose rounds. You may get a couple messeges about being disconnected but just click ok thru them, you also will not get to see the leaderboard during play but your scores will submit.
Then you can rant about something else :lol:
Common sense and common courtesy two things this world needs more of.
