Lots of fun so far! The rough is tough I found myself alt-tabbing between the game and the calculator, hehe.

Meta I am going to have to access you a two stroke penalty for using a calculator as this is against the rules of Professional Golf. I will inform the Commish Ted of your infraction.....Lol.

I haven't played the game in a long time because the swing meter was so jerky on my pc. 

The pause rendering during the swing has made all the difference.   Awesome job!

I couldn't find this reported, but the grid now stays on when going from the green to the tee for me. This wasn't happening in the beta builds and hasn't happened for many months. Also, the hole physics still produce some interesting unexpected results. I'll try and capture a video as a play more.

Yes, there seem to be some new funny looking cup physics going on. But also some nice improvements. If you look in the bugs thread you'll see where someone has posted some videos of some of the current issues. You should post your videos there.

You appear to disagree and that's OK.  What's not OK is your attitude towards any opinion that differs from your own.

Not only more and different structures but how about a different flag for each course rather than always having the Perfect Golf flag?

 

That is a *great* call.... That would be a small thing that helps a lot actually

Some folks had commented on gap wedges running like 7 irons when chipping. Maybe an older build was the cause but here are two clips to show that this is not the case with v1.3.5.0

Love the new static reverse replay camera; nice surprise PG!

[AlanBernardo]

Added four preset levels of difficulty to the player settings. Beginner, Amateur, Professional, Tour professional. This enables or disables certain assists depending on the level chosen (some are not yet implemented). It is also currently possible to set a custom level of difficulty although these will generally not be allowed for eventual tournament play.

 

Nice update, first off.

 

To the statement that some of these assists "are not yet implemented", does that include the ability to aim on the over-head view and on the main view?

 

Have these assists been implemented?

 

Also, as a side-note, will we ever have the ability to resize the over-head or top view.  Right now it is way too big.

 

Thanks!

Aiming and meter marks are largely not implemented although you cannot use F3 if aiming in other views is off.

Not sure about resizing, I am sure at some point but there are lots of other things to do before we tackle that

My experience of the new update has not been good, I'm afraid. When choosing between clubs, particularly woods for some reason the screen goes black with only the controls showing. I can't choose anything and have to force quit out of the game. It's now happened four times in the space of two rounds.

I'm on a Macbook Pro and my specs are:

2.5 ghz Intel i5

16Gb Ram

Intel HD Graphics 4000

I play the game on Low graphics settings.

I hope that helps the developers.

Medina was a top 5 favorite course of mine in Links, hole 1 and 2 beautifully breathtaking.  This version inspires the same reaction from me.  Gorgeous.

 

Man, did I really only pay $22.00 (CAD) for this game?

Well played the front nine at Chicago and all I can say is wow. Yes a few glitches but overall just a beautiful course and a great challenge to play. First here were scores

Tour Pro Red. 37
tour Pro. Blue. 40
Am. Yellow. 34
Am. Orange. 35

MS BLI calm stimp 10
Played game in High Ultra and was getting FPS between 19 and 35 and played at 4 pm so there were lots of shadows and no problems at all. When playing Motion Swing that is more than enough FPS. First I love that with harder levels you can't restart your swing and that is how it should be. The rough is now tough and that is just perfect as it appears that the more you stray the tougher it is and the ball doesn't stop like before on the green as before and that is good. I feel the sand shots are also much better also and love that challenge. Yes some physics problems with the putting mainly at the cup but that can be fixed. Over all a great update and this game just got a whole lot harder to go low at the Pro levels.

have a quetion for you tech savy guys--if i join a game where host has a slower internet connection than mine --can that make the game play jumpy for me ?

  I run at pretty high speed

[worrybirdie]

Went through a page of bickering...but haven't read them all. Thank you for the new course. Thank you for allowing me to pitch with an 8 iron. Thank you for the promise of having increments on the swing meter displayed. I will not go on with a wish list of things that haven't been done, as it would bring acrimony from some members of the community (the fact that I say this is sad). I won't criticize the rate of development on this project (and its taken a long time) because someone will break my heart over how small the team is, and how hard it is working with such a small team (both of which I hope are true...I'm not part of the inner circle).

Anyway, lets try to keep it civil out there. Sometimes we (and I include myself very much in this) are a little too fervent in our beliefs.

Lets not turn this into one of those other forums.

I really like the new course. Sadly it is unplayable for me. When this game first came out I was happy with the way it played on my 2009 iMac. I had to play at the "low" setting but could move most settings up quite a bit and get smooth play at full screen resolution. The motion swing was smooth and there was no lag or drop back... And then the Unity update came. I had to drop back all the graphics settings to the point the game looks like a smeared painting in the near distance. The trees are just ugly. I had to lower the resolution just to get a halfway decent swing meter response.  There is no comet tail on the ball no matter what setting I use and most of the time I can barely see it. The ball rolled on the green like it was egg shaped... And now the long awaited new release. I had hoped I would get some relief. But i had to lower my graphic settings yet again. The old courses are at least playable. Still ugly. Still no comet tail. Still can't see the ball most of the time. The ball physics are better. No more egg shaped rolling. The new course is great. I can say that because I played it on someone else's computer. On mine it is so choppy the avatar completes his swing and the ball is still on the ground. Then it's in the air... and stops...and then it lands. I know it lands because thats the only time I ever really see it. And yes, I have the pause feature enabled. Sometimes I change clubs and the screen goes completely black except for the swing meter. If I click on the meter the view comes back but I'm aimed where I last clicked on the meter.

I know my computer is a little on the old side but a few months ago the game was really enjoyable. Now each new "improvement" makes it less and less so.

ummm, my F3 key doesn't work at all, anywhere.  Use to use it to fly down the fairway to where I was aiming.

It will work on Beginner and Amateur but not on Pro or Tour pro.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Gotcha...have to be an amateur before I know how hard to hit the club. Makes sense.
