so.... how do we know which mouse you use at any given time? sometimes it's just best to keep all this useful info to yourself and let others discover it on there own.

Either I'm trying to hide in plane sight or help some people who are experiencing issues. I know the judge and he's fair minded.

I too find that the forward motion with the putter has been reduced. Any reason why?

My thoughts on this patch. I am a motion swinger and have been since day 2 (actually played day 1 as 3c). For the majority of that time I have played on Pro level. I very rarely go past 100% power and normally have a good idea of how the ball will react after I have made my swing (good or bad). Now it seems like I am getting random hooks/fades, both on shots below and past 100%

Is this indicative of the anti cheat mechanism?

I use a logitech g502 mouse, and the only thing I have ever done to it is to lower the dpi settings to accomodate a tempo of swing that suits me. I do not (and never will) consider this as cheating. These features are also adjustable both in the windows mouse settings, and more importantly in the mouse sensitivity settings within the game itself.

If this is classed as cheating, then I am out of this game. I have played this game almost on a daily basis since early access release, and have worked hard to create a swing that holds up quite well when I play my buddies and/or tournaments (they may say otherwise lol). I will not suffer random shots because of the paranoia surrounding the game.

I agree Bob the G502 is a good mouse and legit I haven't had an issue with anticheat kicking in with 1.4.1.2 and affecting my game as of yet.

great use of the word 'plane" in regards to mouse advice.

1.4.1.2 is out.   Includes bug fixes and anti cheat 2.0.

 

Hmmm ... what did I miss in 1.4.1.1 ???   LOL, just kidding, but I haven't fired up the game since I played the wrong tees at BARE.  Maybe I'll find time later today.

Which wrong tees? Was that partly my fault? I remember something about playing off of certain tees and I was not clear enough. I set my preferred to Championship and set the course setting to Championship. Does the course default to the farthest tees when this is done even if the course has no Championship tees only Tournament or Back tees? If I did confuse I apologize. Yesterday for me RTSH would about 1 in 3 shots shank the ball and also seemed to be over-exaggerating errors for me. Today seems much better so far so it was a good time to take a break which I did.

I can see nothing has or ever will change on this forum.  Far too many people who are more concerned about who is using what over simply having fun.  The lunacy is astounding.  Set up a multiplayer round with all swing types and any assists allowed and simply enjoy the game.  Those doing all this finger pointing and stats collecting will never get the pure enjoyment out of this game.  I am glad I am not one of them.

No problems with the patch.  Everything plays the same.

 

For the folks who are having issues with the new anti-cheat system, remember Andrew's post earlier in this thread: 

Andrew, on 12 Aug 2016 - 11:29 AM, said:

I am not going to go into the specifics of how we implemented the anti cheat.  However we have added a debug log to the output_log.txt which says if the anti cheat has been activated.  No other changes were made to any of the swings in this build. 

 

I will reiterate that we have no intention of handicapping players who are not cheating.  If anyone feels that the anti cheat is kicking in when they are playing legitimately we will investigate immediately and if necessary make changes to prevent this happening.  Anyone in this boat should feel free to PM me and attach their output log and it will be investigated promptly and privately.

 

One other thing we noticed while playing online is setting the DPI so that a 100% swing is at the bottom of the screen can have some very terrible implications for motion swing.  Please make sure that when using motion swing you keep your whole swing on the screen, otherwise the offset calculation will be incorrect.  We are investigating this issue further.

It sounds like you can check the log and see if a poor shot was in fact the anti-cheat kicking in.

Did I not say stay strong, may as well remove this altogether, completely almost does nothing now. I hope for an anti cheat 3.0.
1.0 at least there was a balloon shot after a few hits, now nothing, well a slight turn after a bunch, big whoop.
You need stop listening to these guys who state how good they are and that they can zero axis their equipment through practice. Its complete BS. Only way that is even possible is with manipulated or faulty equipment. 1 pixel is a very very small amount over the complete travel of whatever the controller.
IMHO, You need balloon the ball so deep into the weeds they would need a machete on each and every complete zero axis shot.

the mouse exploiters can now all breath a sigh of relief,your back in the game boys😂😂😂

So what are your plans now? or are you demanding PP to make your swing better again?, if you really want to see some randomness try to use the controller ATM ROFL

Maybe you just cant read.

Mouse boys, get so defensive when people mess with their swing. 

[Acrilix]

It will be interesting to see if this anti-cheat battle can be won... and if it is, how many people are still left playing the game by the end of it!

Keep the reports coming....

I must be odd. I am capable of occasionally shooting low 60s on Tour Pro and I use RTSM. I have seen no difference at all since the update regarding my swing. I am equally capable of shooting high 70s. Game feels spot on to me, I have good days and bad days. If I ever became so good that I was shooting 60 regularly I would get really bored really quickly and wishing the game was harder. I can't see that happening thankfully. I use a Corsair gaming mouse.

So basically what you're saying GB is that your view is the only one that's allowed. Makes sense.

You're a walking contradiction making posts like these.

Anti-cheat doesn't matter to good players. Gemini -15 in round 2. Just wow!!

 

No need to tee it up anymore - if you want a win. This guy is so good! And it seems that he gets better...  Kudos!

I am with you Robbie as no change really for me either just that I still have more bad than good. Lol. By the way I also use the Corsair M65 and like the feel of it better than the Logirech G502 which I also have.

[Stephen Sullivan]

I am using the Razer Salmosa I use for Links and can just about get by with horizontal at Hacker level. I also have the G502 but cannot get on the with angular shape of it in my hand

Not sure what getting likes has to do with trolling??

But either way, I wasn't trolling. Just pointing out that your post was a huge contradiction. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it trolling.
