Latest Steam announcements

• Small patch - 14 September 2026

  Fixed a crash when on the winner screen and host leaves lobbyReduced the waiting time after a finished hole (from 8 seconds to 4)Removed an await timer that was used for debugging the last update and was still in the code, creating latency from contact to ball takeoff (now as it was in previous versions)

• Post update fixes - 12 September 2026

  Fixed backspins going supersonicFixed hole forcefieldFixed driver being allowed in the rough

• Short game range, new wedge, QoL stuff, shots consistency and more... - 11 September 2026

  Hi ! Cool little update today with some new features and QoL.First of all, I still see alot of people rely too much on the shot meter. To give some context, it wasn't even supposed to be in the game until very late. You should 100% rely on the club face's speed to gauge your shots, unless you want to go full or slightly under. Try it out.Short game rangeAdded a short game range, accessible in the main menu.New wedgeAdded the sand wedge, very floppy, kinda hard, pretty fun.Shot consistencyI spent most of this update's dev time trying to fix the inconsistency of the shots, I think I got something very close to perfection, curious to see what you guys think.BackspinTrying something different for backspin, you can now reach maximum backspin even when not going full power, hopefully this will allow more creative shots.TerrainReduced the minimum width of the fairway to create some tighter sho…

• Putter sensitivity multiplier - 31 August 2026

  The slightly requested putter sensitivity is hereAdded a putting sensitivity multiplierI also tweaked max club distances for irons to have a more natural increase in distance from club to club.PW -> 1209I -> 1308I -> 1407I -> 1506I -> 1605I -> 1704I -> 1803I -> 190Last time I touch distances I swear. This range just makes sense.

• Small patch - 30 August 2026

  Fixed alot of UI's that would make the game unplayable Fixed swing strength bar (would start moving after a shot) Removed a club parameter that was meant to simulate ball compression but just made shot strength harder to control (potential putting buff) Reajusted the holes distances after the last update

• Leaderboard, terrain tweaks, bug fixes, chat upgrade and more. - 28 August 2026

  There was a couple of things from the previous update that didn't work as planned so here is a new update with the actuals fixes and some new features.First of all, I've noticed that setting max fps under a certain value (arround 250 for me) makes the game very stuttery. I'm looking for a fix but I would leave it uncapped or very high for now if you can afford it.LeaderboardAdded a best score 18 holes leaderboard (very basic but let me cook)Host disconnectYou will now stay in the game when the host disconnects, allowing you to finish your round in singleplayerDistancesFixed the distances from the range to the game, they were about 30 yards off, the range now represents the actual in game distancesTerrainAdded a new parameter to the water level to make the environment feel a little different on every holeAdded a new parameter to allow the end of the holes to finish in random directionsFi…

• Small patch - 27 August 2026

  Fixed a bug with lobbies when joining and backing out multiple times

• Game stability, nerfs and more - 26 August 2026

  Hi!Little week 2 update to get the game in a more stable state. Feedback and suggestions are already piling up so if everything goes well with this one, I'm gonna start working on some more interesting stuff like stats/leaderboards/game modes etc..First of all, I changed the default launch option to use D3D12, this should fix most of the performance issues that people had and the Discord stream bug. If you had no issues with the previous one (Vulkan), it is now the second launch option.GameplayAdded a practice swing state by pressing left click Added a slight deviation when hiting the flag pole head onChanged how hole pars are generated, there is now 6 of each par for an 18 holes an 3 of each for 9 holesLobbiesFixed a bunch of race conditions that would happen when interacting with lobbies, causing lobby members to crashTerrainFixed the bunker spawning on top of the holeSlightly reduced…
