Changes to Putting
While this release does not represent our final changes to the putting we wanted to get these changes to you. We have always talked about options and have read all of the feedback. Without making big changes to the putting for now we hope this release will resolve some of the immediate concerns about the putting
- We have added a new mouse sensitivity setting to the game settings entitled Short Game Sensitivity. The purpose of this is to allow motion swing users the ability to have less sensitivity of mouse movement when executing short shots or shots that do not need much power. In conjunction with the Motion Swing Power Bug Fix (see below) we hope this makes putting in motion swing an improved experience
- Added a new aid to the player settings menu to enable or disable simplified putting. When simplified putting is enabled the player will see the old pre 1.3 version of the putting meter with a flag to indicate the strength of the putt required to get the ball to the hole( just beyond) on a flat green with no wind. We hope this gives people the option to play their game and enjoy it whichever swing method people use.
- Added an indiator to the multiplayer connection screen showing whether the putting aid is on or off
- Extended the slow putting meter to 10 feet from its current 6 feet. We hope this will provide the click players with an improved putting experience.
- Fixed some errors in the naming convention of the putting types while in game
Bug Fixes and Improvements
Here is a list of the changes in 1.3.4 and bug fixes
- Fixed a bug in Motion Swing where the pointer would come back down slightly on the downswing resulting in the player not getting the power setting they were looking for or intended
- Added light to top view during darker playing hours to make it easier to make out the different golf course areas
- Made some changes to stop follow cam and reverse camera from going underground
- Fixes for people experiencing transparancy in some textures or shadows
- Fixed bug where sometimes the camera would position itself in a place where you could not see the golfer
- Added Club Carry distances to the club selection screen in the Player Settings Menu
- Undertook some prep wrok to allow Swing meter to be moved on Screen. This functionality will become fully functional in a future release
- Made some modifications to Driver off the fairway with the goal being to hit it slightly further than the 3W but with a much lower ball flight and longer roll.
- Set Scorecard so it opens on the nine you are actually playing.
- Made some fixes to eliminate the ball that carrys 10 yards and travels 300
- Fixes to Willow Heath
- Fixes to bulkheads on Shadowlands
We hope everyone enjoys the improvements.
