Hi Golfers,
This week we have a patch that includes a number of balance tweaks, and updates a number of effects in the game to be better than ever!
Major Changes
- The game no longer freezes on startup on MacOS!
- Many items in the shop now cost 1 or 2 less to unlock.
- All course unlocks are now 3 holes easier to obtain.
- Hex courses are now 20% easier and shorter!
- Chip shot is 10% more powerful.
- Skip is now more expensive to equip.
- Added more environment models for the Woods courses.
- Added particle effects when the courses and objects are created and destroyed.
Bug Fixes
- Shop model is slightly smaller to better fit space beside menus.
- Game over view can now be skipped so you can get back in the game faster.
- Fixed bug where mouse would require an extra click to focus the game after opening the Steam overlay.
- Newsletter signup form shows native UI prompt on Steam Deck.
- Value selector correctly focuses when one of the arrow buttons disappears.
- Newsletter signup view can be navigated by keyboard and joystick now.
- Fixed bug that broke the game if you pressed continue too fast.
- Music now plays correctly when repeating a course of the same type.
- Fixed the pond socket obstacle collider that had some strange behaviours.
- Player name scales in the UI, instead of overflowing.
- Added feedback button in game settings view.
- Updated the aim preview visualisation to be at floor level, this is the same as the normal aim, and feels more intuitive.
- Icons are no longer fuzzy in low quality mode.
- Free shot zone no longer generates on the start tile or the hole tile.
- Your attire resets if you leave a team and no longer have access to it.
- History is cleared on progress reset.
- Escape key can be used from the player setup menu, even if you're playing with the mouse.
Known Bugs
- There are some issues around the teleport in multiplayer, where it sometimes doesn't trigger or triggers too often.
As always, I hope this update makes your game better! If you run into any bugs at all, please use the F1 report screen to let me know so that I can get them fixed in the next patch release.
Happy Golfing,
Philip
