Dangerous Golf news & patch notes

We had a few issues reported with Coop Achievements not firing. We have managed to fix this server side, no patch required. As such if you have any missing Achievements these should now update without any need to play the game. However you may want to load up a Coop hole and this will ensure that the checking process fires and any missing Achievements will be updated. Thanks to those players who helped us discover and fix this problem.

A new patch is available which includes the option to skip the training. Training is available to watch again in the Clubhouse menu. We do recommend watching it if you want to understand how to score big.

We have had this reported as a fix for the infinite loop issue.Please try it and let us know how you get on: Go here https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=48145and download Visual C++ and install. Then the game should run fine.

We have today made one fix for the Infinite Loop some players were experiencing on install and launch. However we believe this will not fix the issue in all instances and have reached out to Epic for a more comprehensive fix. Once we hear back from them we will let players know. In addition we are creating a beta branch with the option to skip the training video that runs at the start of the game.

We wanted to let you know that we are aware of a few issues that we are looking into. Many of these do not appear to be common so we may need help from the community to reproduce and fix the issues but rest assured that we are looking into them. Here are the things we know about:

1. Infinite Loop on install / launch

We are looking into this now. It would be helpful if anyone experiencing this issue could send their DxDiag to the email [email protected]

2. White Screen Freeze on loading the first map.

We have requested a video from any user that is experiencing this issue as we are unable to reproduce it here. Again please send to [email protected]

3. Testing your friendship achievement potentially not firing.

We have received a report that the Achievement for completing all tours in coop may not be working correctly. We are looking into this. If you have experienced this issue please send a copy of your save game to [email protected] ​

4. Locked map when returning to hole select.

There has been reports of an issue where when returning to the hole select screen players can get stuck with a map of the Australia map with all options locked out. Apparently there is a workaround to this issue: If you go back to the main menu and select co op then cancel out and go back to single player the maps are back to normal. If you have experienced this issue please send a copy of your save game to [email protected].

5. Unskippable training video.

Finally we have had complaints about the unskippable training video. The video is 2.5 minutes long but we understand that some people find it an irritant. Once we are free of all other issues we will look to change this. Bear with us, we are a small team. Firstly we just want to explain there has not been a Patch to the game this week (hence the absence of any patch notes!). We added a software dependency in Steam which seems to show up as a Patch. Thanks for your patience. We appreciate it.

In the first update we added Mouse and Keyboard support and fixed some bugs that were affecting our players. This new update fixes the biggest issues players have raised with us and will be live very shortly.

• Fast Restarts

  We've reduced them from 30secs to 2-3 secs and it transforms the game in Single Player, in Co-Op and in Party Golf.

• Simplified Control System Option

  We've implemented simpler SmashBreaker and Drop controls and we've also added in game prompts for all actions. Note that if you have a previous save game the controls will default to the original, more advanced controls. You can change this in Settings.

• More Control on Tee and Putt

  Introduced 'Free Aim' on the Tee and in Putt. Aim where you want on every hole, 360 degrees of movement.

• New Follow Cams

  On the Tee and the Putt and we've also improved Camera Collision with the Ball. (The Follow Cameras can be turned off and on in the Settings Menu). You can also now use Danger Time in the Tee off.

• Better Introduction to Game Features

  We've brought back an old friend, Ted Stryker, the LA DJ who recorded all our Burnout 3 v/o, to narrate our new Tutorial Video as well as adding per hole loading tips. The tutorial is already on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9Ey0cvc1Kg

• More Destructive Power

  New SmashWave feature enables Players to cause even more destruction whilst clearing their path to the Flag.

• More Humour

  The ESRB upped our rating to Comic Mischief based on 'flatulence sounds being heard in the bathroom level'. We thought that was hilarious so listen out for more comic sounds.

• Optimised Frame Rate

  We have optimised every Hole and the game runs at a smooth 30fps. Frame Rate counter option on PC.

• Hole Updates

  We have listened to player feedback and fixed the Holes that people disliked and evened out the difficulty curve.

• Steam Specific Features

  Support for Steam Controller & Enabled Cloud Save for Steam.

• Bug Fixes

  including Environment Collision, Translations, Leaderboards and Crashes

Thanks for all your support. We are a 100% Player Supported company. Which means every penny we get from sales of Dangerous Golf go directly to paying salaries and equipment enabling us to keep making games.

In the first update we added Mouse and Keyboard support and fixed some bugs that were affecting our players. Coming soon is another update fixing the biggest issues players have raised with us. We're bringing Fast Restarts to all, not just to those with the fastest machines. We've added a Tutorial and we've designed some simpler controls for those struggling with how to master the SmashBreaker and Drop to Putt controls. We're also adding a prompt on screen when in range of a Bucket to drop into, another requested feature. Other improvements include better Cameras, a follow ball cam for Putting and a new feature called the SmashWave for clearing debris around the Ball. Finally - we are improving the holes people like the least so contact us for your chance to have your say on which holes that should be. Watch this space but we estimate the changes will be in Beta within the week. Thanks for all your support. We are a 100% Player Supported company.

We have now pushed our first patch 1.2 LIVE. This patch includes:

• Mouse and keyboard support (see caveats below).
• Fix for audio corruption issue.
• Fix for no audio issue.
• Settings and How to Play have been moved to the Main Menu as players were having issues finding them.
• All Achievements now functioning correctly.
• Removed look restriction on all holes and removed hold on tee so camera will move to the ball quicker after teeing off.
• Language fixes.

Thanks to everyone who took the beta branch and helped us confirm that our fixes are working. The mouse and keyboard support comes with the following caveats:

• There is no support as yet for remapping your controls. This will come as soon as we can get to it.

If you do experience any issues other than these please mail us at [email protected]

Thank you to those players who reported information on Steam Achievements that weren't being correctly awarded. We have managed to fix these via the online Steam tools so it should now be possible to earn them, even without a patched version of the game. Specifically we have fixed: "Strike": The count toward this achievement was never being updated. It now is. "Smart Bomb": The count toward this achievement was never being updated. It now is. "Go Team!", "Top Hole!", "Green and Gold!", "Magnifique!" (Earn all Co-Op Gold medals in ... achievements): It was possible for progress towards these to stop updating if internet connection had been bad or they had been earned offline. If you earn a single Co-Op gold medal in each area progress in Steam towards that achievement will update to reflect all the medals that have been earned. "Showing off now": It was possible for progress towards this to stop updating if internet connection had been bad or platinum medals were earned offline. If you earn a single platinum medal in Solo World Tour progress in Steam towards this achievement will update to reflect all the platinum medals that have been earned. "The Secrets Is In The Sauce": It was possible for progress towards this to stop updating if internet connection had been bad or the secret sauce was collected offline. If you hit a secret sauce in any level progress in Steam towards this achievement will update to reflect the total number of secret sauce collected. "No Such Thing as Bad Publicity", "You're The Master of Disaster": It was possible for progress towards these to stop updating if internet connection had been bad or a Smash Headline or Signature Smash was earned offline. Next time you earn a Smash Headline or Signature Smash the progress towards this achievement will update to reflect the total number earned. Unfortunately a handful of players may have earned all the Signature Smashes or Smash Headlines but won't have had the related achievement awarded as a result of this bug. We will be updating the beta branch 1.2 with a fix tonight which will award these achievements to affected players when they start a hole (so you will not need to re-earn all the achievements, the game will know that you have already earnt them). To reiterate you will not need to completely re-earn any of the above achievements, just follow the instructions above and the game will fix itself. Any problems at all mail us at [email protected]

• Settings and How to Play have been moved to the Main Menu The mouse and keyboard support comes with the following caveats:

Patches coming with fixes for audio issues and to add Keyboard and mouse support As you'll see from the announcement on the main page we are working on updates to this game. We believe we may have found the reason for the audio cutting out and for it not playing at all. We are testing and will patch it as soon as we can. We are also adding keyboard and mouse support. We hope to get this out to you within the week. Stay tuned for more news
