We are pleased to announce a new release which is primarily focused on patching a few issues that arose in 1.3.5.0. There are a couple of things to be aware of with this release 

 

Players on MAC and Linux may experience some graphical issues with the new Chicago Oaks course. Please report these to us if you see them. 

 

Players who had set up Tour Professional and Professional level players may lose these players due to us renaming these to Tour Pro and Pro in the game. All you have to do is set them up again. Our apologies for this. 

 

Finally with some of the updates some of our testers reported that when loading a course for the first time their tree quality settings had changed resulting in no trees displaying. To fix this just change your tree settings and all should be good. 

 

Course Updates

 

We are releasing a new version of Chicago Oaks with a defined area of Semi Rough between the fairway and primary rough 

 

New Features

The following features have been added in this release 

 

• Ping shown in online games. This is a peer to peer ping and independent of any servers that may have been used to set up the game. Ideally for smooth gameplay your ping to the host should be below 100ms 
• Added a new difficulty level "Hacker" between Beginner and Amateur 
• Added a new Key Short Cut to toggle between cameras in case your chosen cam has a bush between you and the ball. IT rotates between Player, Panoramic and Playing Companion. This key is set in the Input Settings Page and defaults to C 
• Added the ability to hide the golfer in game at anytime using the Space Bar. This can be changed in the Input Settings. 
• Added Swing Meter Marks

 

Bug Fixes

 

• A bunch of work done on the hole physics, which have seen a significant improvement. 
• Fixed the aiming difficulties so you can no longer aim in the views based on your difficulty settings. Restored the F3 and F2 views to the more difficult settings 
• Cup no longer rotates with the wind just the flag 
• Fixed the ordering issue between course selection and mop selection on challenges. You can now select the challenge and then the course 
• Fixed Semi rough values now added correctly 
• Fixed Rough penalty settings 
• If you change a default difficulty setting you will now be displayed as Custom in game 
• Minor Physics tweaks to club/shot types. 
• Fixed the aimstick disappearing in the distance

 

As always please report any issues to us.

Only played a few holes but... wow I didn't even realize all the camera options were there.  To toggle through them is even better.

 

The ability to see the green contours from anywhere during play is so helpful.

 

Loving this so far.

It would be pretty pointless having updates otherwise! 

[Sliceapottomus]

just getting o ms on ping issues for everyone

[Dazmaniac]

When folks are setting up lobby games it shows things like -1/4 or -1/8

 

Shouldn't be a negative value if just 1 person in lobby room.

[Andrew]

yeah I noiced that some strange things

[trailblazergolf]

ilike the up-dates -- except for the dots ---in my motion swing they sorts confuse me or get in the way--now if they had a distance listed that would help

  otherwise alls well

Micro stutters now. Was smooth before the update.

I'm getting the same 32-36 FPS as before the update. 

My settings are set the same.

Yea, you're not alone. Hopefully they'll get it resolved quickly.

Add me to micro stutters

[Greensboronclion]

stuttering away myself

[Quigs]

Stuttering here as well. Used to have butter smooth graphics with all settings maxed out, now even when lowering settings it still shakes. Almost not playable. Odd.

[clubcaptain]

Stutters here too.

[clubcaptain]

The cup doesn't look crisp and clean now and it looks as if it's set at a slight angle.

[Brian777]

Yea every hole stutters for me now too, very hard to play now even with gtx 770 and 2500k.  I even tried medium settings and still stuttered terribly.. Ahhhhh

[Buck]

Is there a way to prevent an auto update before I fire up Steam?

 

Sounds like staying on previous version is preferable right now...

[Azza6666]

Played a few rounds post patch and I've not noticed any significant stutter. So it may not affect everyone. I hope they can get to the bottom of the issue quickly for you guys!

More or less happy with patch. Cup physics in my opinion are significantly improved. Now when a bad putt or lip happens I feel like it's my fault and not a game bug. Very happy!

[mebby]

Yea, cup physics look great to me. Stutter is pretty bad but they'll get that cleared up quickly I think.

There's a comment from a dev in another topic which says if they get the chance a new build will be out to resolve this issue. Great stuff if they manage it!
