WT works fine.  My # when I enter my players card is:  328204

Not sure if that's my cab # or not?

Edit:  Cabinet number is:  30028

You know what, there might be a common theme here.  Are both of you two that cannot see tournaments running dongle emulators?

I am but I do have a Team Challenge dongle too.  Should I install it and see what happens?  Will that screw up my data or settings?

If you plug your dongle in it won't have the registration settings from the server.  You need to unregister, uninstall dongle emulator, install dongle, re-register.  This won't mess up any of your WT settings or history.  After you re-register you have a 50/50 shot at seeing tournaments.  If you don't when I get home and manually add an entry in the database with your new cabinet ID you will 100% see tournaments.

Just to clarify what I mean by unregister is NOT to reinstall the .4 patch.  It means to just go into the service mode and instead of forcing a call, there is an option at the bottom to unregister from server.

Ok, unregistered, uninstalled the dongle emulator, plugged in the real dongle and re-registered.  Got back on fine but still no tournaments showing for me.

It looks like my leaderboards and unlocked items are still intact but it shows that I haven't played any courses or got any scores on any of the holes and so I don't have any player stats anymore. 

Oh well, they weren't that impressive anyway.  :) 

My new cabinet # is:  30036

Ok, once I get home I will manually add an entry for 30036.  After I do that I will let you know to call in.  You will then have tournaments.

That's a big problem for those without an actual dongle that they can't play tournaments? Is there a fix or do they all have to find a dongle somewhere? If so gonna start finding all the dongles that exist here in Australia and buy them as spares!! Ha ha ha. I guess I'm still top of the leaderboard then boost as I'm the only one able to play ha ha ha. It's good to be the King!!  :burgerking: even if by default!! Ha ha

Yes, and it works great for WT.

Well, if I have to reinstall, I'll have to reinstall.  Not that big of a deal.  Thanks for all your help and have a great Thanksgiving.  I'll see you in the tourney!  Hopefully!

Well I got my wifi repeater yesterday, $14.99 off eBay, http://www.ebay.com/itm/161858554265?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
And decided to give it a go to try and get online.  The install went just fine, the patch which I installed on a very old CD-RW installed just fine. The cabinet registered fine and I was able to have the Player Card I made for TC AAP converted for use in TC World Tour.  I was able to connect to the server and all has gone well. I can see all the scores by some much better golfers than me as I play the courses, about 7 rounds so far. I force a call and send my scores and see them on the website.  All seems cool and fun. I too am unable to see a tournament however.
Here is my Cabinet ID and Player ID.
Fingers crossed to not have to reinstall.

I can't thank you enough for all your work making it available for us to play online!!

Tim

Hi Boost

I called in about 5 hours ago and no tournaments. I will be home in about 8 hours and will try again. I am using a dongle and not the emulator

Note: That I can not see leader boards on WT yet. I remember you said that you have to do performance upgrades on the server for me to see leader boards. I am not sure if that is why I can not see tournaments.

Thank you

Hey boost I played more than 5 times and still lets me play another round. I thought it may be because I didn't call in after. So I did so and still could play again played five rounds in a row even restarted. Tried all combos and still let me play. 23 under my best score! Also I am asked to play the tournament from the attract screen before anything else comes up? Is that what everyone else's machine is doing?

Hey guys just played the tournament worked great. I have a question maybe someone else had the same issue or can point me in the right direction. Sometimes when I am playing for awhile mostly multiplayer since they take longer I am not able to get a full shot. The ball barely goes anywhere with a full back swing. I was wondering if it is trackball related if after all the abuse it finally went or if the ram can't keep up and I need to upgrade it. If so what is the best ram you guys have found to put in it.
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Hi Sherman8or

How much Ram do you have in the pc? What size graphics card do you have?

What you can try is to swop the red chips on the trackball and see what happens.
