Froxe on on 17th tee, round 1,,, game just froze,,, SOLID No option to resme so i guess I get DQ'ed in my 1st official event Never had any trouble in any of the arcade tourneys

Just FYI for the admins

Fired up Links this morning and was allowed to resume, but could not transmit my stats

[JoeSmith]

Tony, not unexpected as I always get that error about 1 out of 20 rounds when I lose power or have an internet connection drop in the middle of a round. I bet there's a magical way to get them sent and hopefully the techno wizards here will tell you how today. Too bad there's not a backup system in place where you can post your stats files on the website like we do at OWGT.

You lose power in 1/20 rounds?

[JoeSmith]

Rarely is it power failure unless I'm playing during a thunderstorm but the cable company is the major culprit.

[TSmith]

I never had any trouble in the arcade games, This was the first time I froze since beginning to play here back in the winter. I have used Charter for my cable connection for 16 months and lost service only 3 times. Twice it was back up in 20 minutes or less, once it took them about 4 hours. I doubt it was the cable company as I surfed the web after leaving Links as well

I wish there was a way for Mark to code into the program a true freeze, loss of power etc into the game to allow a resume. I am sure there is, but to discern that from those playing poorly and dropping out might be a problem

mark doesn't have to do anything beyond what is already available. there is already a remedy for those who suffer isp or power problems that cause tour game dQs: play off-line.

almost 100% safe. i have lost only one game since dec of '02. lw
