Thanks for doing this, Andrew. Sure wish simulator users would get a similar opportunity to continue using the game past next August, too. If PC players can continue using the software for free (beyond the original purchase), it would be nice if we could at least continue using it on a paid basis as we have been.

I appreciate your posts here today, Andrew, and hope this is the start of more open communication as to why some of the decisions to isolate non-TM users have been made, and what steps might be possible moving forward to accommodate everyone who has a non-TM sim setup.

Thanks again for today's messages, and for your consideration in additional posts regarding future sim usage and software from PP moving forward.
 

Today we pushed an update the primary purpose of which is to ensure that JNPG will continue to work even if our servers go down for whatever reason, ensuring that the game will always be playable with all user courses for as long as folks wish to play the game.

If anyone detects any issues with the update please let us know. Thanks

I know Andrew said that there is no intention of the Steam stuff to go away anytime soon..


That said - Does anybody know how something like gameranger works?

Is that something that could potentially work for us in the future if the Steam servers access goes away?

Same here...  it appears the Recorded Rounds tab fires up first, but you can simply click on the create new game button and takes you to the normal carousel to pick which course you want to play.   

 

Yes I know. Was reporting the bug. Thanks Rob

[axe360]

make your steam profile private,and it does away with friends recorded rounds

It is and always has been. Thanks though.

[Arsam]

axe360, as far as I remember it has always been that way when you pick Solo it always went to the recorded rounds page.

where exactly do you read this info?

What’s the point of allowing pg to be played offline if a new version of pg is in the way? I mean wouldn’t pg2 be miles ahead both visually and physics wise. Your not gonna play the inferior model over the much improved new model right?

[Buck]

There’s no PG2 for PC guys - this basically confirms it.

Kudos to Andrew for doing us a solid and at least unlocking the third party/connection required situation.

I’d kill for a direct-IP connect option, but I’m sure that would require too much work that will never happen.

I wish we could get the game even more unlocked somehow and be able to edit shirts/apparel/club stuff, etc

Getting this when selecting SOLO. I haven't went on in a very long time so maybe this is the way it is now? When I click on Create a Game, I do see the Carousel but I get this one first.

 

 

This has always been how it works.  You simply click Create New Game and you can play Solo.

 

I do hope people who just read the forum and not post learn about Solo play.  Solo with mulligans on is a great way to repeat shots to understand wind effects, bunkers, shot-creator etc.  Many players just jump into tournaments and wonder why they never do well in them. It's because practice is imperative.

Don’t forget “make videos showing low scores”. - lol

Sorry, I've been here since the beginning of time and I have NEVER seen that page. Recorded rounds page you had to click on.

 

No skin off my nose, I don't play anyway..

[axe360]

Maybe because the courses on that page were NOT all white. Now I have one course that has the screenshot. I guess because the other ones are white, I never paid attention and just went straight to Create.

 

Them all being white is not right!

I agree about the all white…
But as long as it works, does it really matter?

[axe360]

Glad you weren't here during beta. Of course, it's only a cosmetic issue but Golf is All About the Details.

Be good.

[Buck]

Lol - I can only imagine.

I  run the game from stream on my PC after the update the game is running very sluggish. The mouse is jerking around and hanging. How can I go back to the former version

[RobC]

Are they white because you don't have those courses installed?

[Buck]

@Andrew

Did this update break things for Mac users?

I’m seeing an uptick of reports that the Mac version just crashes upon launch now?
Is that related to Catalina perhaps, and the game is now dead for people using the latest macOS?

[axe360]

I just removed one that had the screenshot on it and now it is white but since I have at least 40 courses installed, why wouldn't I see 40 courses there too? I don't know. Just seems different to me.

Thanks RobC

[Abe]

I agree. It's most likely due to that fact.

[Buck]

The forum going to stick around still once VG2 releases for TM?
