A friend in Iowa and myself, UK, have played more or less every day for the past 10 years.

But his original machine packed in about 2 or 3 years ago, and at that time, the only replacement he could find came with Win 10 (Yuck!!) Now his machine is what I would call a typical everyday "Target" type machine, but he has managed to get the damned thing working reasonably with TW08, but I'm assuming that this was when my problems started.

He would hit a ball "X" number of yards, then I would hit the same "X" yards also. Usually this would work within reason, but every now and again my ball would fall short by 10 - 25 yards!!

POSSIBLE ERROR FOUND
As I said, his machine is an "everyday" machine, whilst mine is a 4Ghz i7 and 16 Mb of RAM, with an accompanying decent graphics card, but HE used to always post the game. This week, I am posting the game and I haven't noticed a problem since. We've also been checking his side also, as it would be no good just swapping the problem over, but it certainly seems as though we have sorted a problem in the loading of a game - ie; get the guy with the better machine to host the game.

Thanks GP. We are still playing the same today without error, the only difference now is I can only blame myself for misplayed shots, and not EA as I was doing. :(

Hi Chris

Thanks for info, but it would help if you said that you and your friend are
using the Lan Lobby that comes with installing EA Online software that comes
with TW 08. Is this correct ??? If so I would reinstall EA Online..
that is if I could find some one to play online. Any who THANKS

Hi Dawg8. Yes we do use the LAN lobby, although, over the years and for various reasons, we have both had to reinstall TW more than once. (We also use Tunngle.)
