Re: POGO BOWL: Disappearing Pins on lower end or over taxed machines

@knitqueen1959 Hello!
Sorry to hear you're having issues. Note that Pogo Bowl uses a 'power meter' and if the meter isn't high enough, your ball may not actually make it to the end of the alley.

Click on your bowling ball to reset the meter and get the maximum power!

Cheers!

    @Pogo_SpikePoppit The power meter has nothing to do witht he problem at hand. Ive tried the power meter at different speeds, it does not stop the pins from blinking off before the ball hits. I have edge. this is getting frustrating.

    Sorry techie, this still does not help at all.   The pins disappear as the ball approaches the pins.   We the members are NOT getting compensated with points.   You need to look at the technical things  ALL technical things wrong with this game and other games.  Sorry but this does not make me want to renew my Club Pogo membership.  I think the whole Club Pogo system needs a thorough going through. 

    I was also given this website today Friday April 2, 2021:   https://blog.pogo.com/sweet-tooth-game-updates-and-getting-started-guide-tips/    after typing that all into the search engine I used google chrome  it stated that this is no longer part of Pogo and is outdated.

    This entire exercise in futility (game being released prior to bugs being worked out, players unhappy, no response from "powers that be" re: correcting things) is a sure sign that EA has little regard comments from "customers/subscribers". Putting Pogo Bowl HD out with severe deficits is akin to offering a new model of car for sale before all systems have been checked. 

    To reiterate.. I do not have the disappearing pin/ball situation. My "gripe" is with the playability of the game.

    The Classic view has a power meter that goes from 100% to 0% in TWO seconds. Not enough time.

    The Tap view semi- solves the meter problem, at the expense of inaccurate aiming. Once "aimed" and the ball is "thrown", the aiming arrow may (or may not) be where one intends. This requires last second corrections which, in turn (within 5 seconds, in this view),  take us back to the power meter "wind down" problem.

    Hello Pogo Bowlers!

    We've identified this issue as happening on systems that are underperforming. This can be due to your system simply being below specification or it can be due to your system pressured by high system utilization (running multiple browser tabs, multiple pogo games, multiple games, etc)

    If you come across this error, first try closing all unnecessary applications and playing Pogo Bowl in a single browser tab. This can help some low end machines still perform as expected.

    Thank you all for your support and Bowl On!
