Update 0.9.4.2 - New Thumbstick Swing Meter & VR Quality of Life ImprovementsApr 25, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsNew Thumbstick Swing Meter {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33435682/9032f616a094b6b6dfeb95e81b24722dcfc814c4.gif Many fans requested the ability to swing with the gamepad thumbstick. In this update, we make this dream come true. Here is how it works: Step 1: Press A to pull up your swing meter. Step 2: Pull down on the left thumbstick to set which direction the ball will curve. The further away from center you pull back your thumbstick, the more the ball flight will curve. The red marker gives visual guidance on where to pull the thumbstick to hit a straight shot. Step 3: Push forward on the left thumbstick to set power and initial ball flight direction. Try to time the push forward with the desired power. The little flag icon will give a hint on how hard to hit the ball. It doesn't take into consideration wind and other course conditions, you have to figure those parts out. ;-) If you push the thumbstick directly forward into the red marker, the ball flight will start directly to where the golfer is aimed. The further from center you push the thumbstick forward, the further the initial ball flight will be from the target. Step 4: Enjoy your hole-in-one! Tips Hitting a Draw: Pull back the thumbstick to the left and push forward. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33435682/84033fa06c4cfc2f91098fc62e2cc19bc4c2e678.gif Hitting a Fade: Pull back the thumbstick to the right and push forward. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33435682/da5da75e05daa654542b46db563e0f1779ff930c.gif The thumbstick swing meter is now the default if you have a gamepad. If you have preference for the traditional 3-click swing meter, you can always change back in the gameplay settings. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33435682/a497c14049ffedc0b91431e38cbcbf55911045ca.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33435682/44dff3cf136bf46817545a8d3c878ab683ff1e06.png VR Quality of Life Improvements We have a few things in this update I'm sure VR players will enjoy. VR One Hand Mode (Now a setting) Previously, to play VR in one hand mode you had to turn off one of the controllers. This worked well for the most part, however, this proved challenging for the Oculus headset players. In this update, there is now a setting where you can specify which hand you would like to use without needing to turn off a controller. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33435682/da570379ba5986927a1ce00c28604f2a476283f3.jpg Switch between Right Handed or Left Handed with Ease Previously, the option to switch between left and right hand swings was buried in menus. In the pic above, you can now see how quick and easy it is to switch between left and right hand swings. Club Lengths are now Saved Previously, each time you play the game you had to reset your club length preferences. This proved extremely frustrating for our taller players. Now, the game will save these settings between play sessions. Other Improvements Existing challenges unlock more gear. If you have already beat some of these challenges, you will get will already be available for you in the store.

Bot Speech Bubbles Whenever you are playing a bot and they complete a hole, land in the water, or launch a ball out of bounds, they will now share a fun or comedic comment on how they feel about their accomplishment (or lack of). We are very excited about these new speech bubbles as they add a lot more life and entertainment when playing with bots. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33435682/c43abae7537a44d32ac013e30b61c240d570d725.jpg Speaking of playing with bots... Play with up to 7 Bots at a Time When you beat a bot, you can play against them in online or local gameplay modes. With a little bit of programming magic, we have made it where you can play with up to 7 bots at a time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33435682/34fc3d147c36b882f15acaeed64c5094bffcc1e7.jpg You can even configure which types of bots you want to play with, such as random, easy, medium, hard, or competitive. You can even turn them off if you prefer. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33435682/cd234960113a5d549d1380db28010c8e5f2e9759.jpg I have to admit, playing a match with bots everywhere can be a ton of fun, if that is your kinda thing. Bots Bots Bots Achievement is Fixed Yes, this achievement is finally fixed. If you have already beat all 50 bot challenges, just go play and beat Joe Duffy again and the achievement will unlock for you. For those that haven't beat all 50, keep trying. I know you can do it! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33435682/aa2f0d141df831fdfe8bd927ffb4870c38374c7c.jpg Improved Golfer Transparency If you are anything like me, you have found it pretty annoying when other golfers blocked the view of your putt. There is good news for you. In this update whenever another golfer is blocking the view of your putt the game will fade the golfer to transparent. We also made a couple of adjustments to the golfer transparency shader so the quality will be improved there as well. The golfer transparency works in VR as well. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33435682/b55321ddf012de5089e43845f1c1d5d97a80ce66.jpg Can you even see the golfers blocking the putt view above? Nope. Okay maybe a little bit. Introducing Practice Mode If you are anything like me, you were very frustrated when you built courses and just wanted to test the 17th hole during gameplay. Previously, that meant you had play through holes 1 through 16 just to get to the hole you want to test...and you only had 1 chance to test it. In addition to that, you probably had some times where you wanted to play around or experiment on a couple of holes but not keep score or have it affect your statistics (hello double bogey). There is good news for you. In this update we introduce to you Practice Mode. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33435682/a7cfc0033c276b4d7a97114c5d6b1b704ef3c4ca.jpg Practice mode allows you to pick any course, especially the ones your are designing, and select whichever hole you want to play over and over and over again. The one thing you need to know, you can only select practice m...Update 0.9.2 - Putt Preview and MoreMar 31, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsThanks for all your great feedback on the latest patch. Here are a couple more things we added in with this patch specifically because you requested it. Putt Preview You told us putting was hard and you needed a better way to read the greens. In this patch we introduce putt preview. It works the same whether you are in VR or Non-VR mode. Simply push the putt preview button and watch as preview golf balls simulate the break of the green. Keep in mind, the putt preview is not there to show you exactly where to aim. You still have to account for power and speed which can change how much a putt breaks. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33435682/e9e6f6ef16ad7f5e4d850f173c1056618893cec5.jpg Flag Stick indicator on Swing Meter You told us it is not always easy to calculate power percentage for less than 100% shots. For less than 100% shots, we added a flag stick to the swing meter that does the calculation for you. Keep in mind, you are still responsible for judging other factors that affect power such as wind, uphill/downhill, or lie (in the deep rough). However, with the new flag stick it is pretty easy to add or take away just a little to account for these factors. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33435682/52ac8813fe1fc921a2eb1fad9d9f1c65003ff738.jpg Topspin and Backspin UI supports mouse clicks You requested the ability to click the topspin or backspin arrows with a mouse. We added that in with this patch. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33435682/25f21d792564e3665f9164fb63203d5bede53de0.jpg UI Support for Ultra Widescreen The UI was a little wonky if you played in ultra widescreen. In this patch we improved support for ultra widescreen resolutions. While we went through the UI with a fine-toothed comb, if you find any additional UI elements that we missed, please let us know. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33435682/22e67a6258c0b8bfb1db652bffe1cd751fd16450.jpg Other Things Split Screen is turned off by default. Bots are turned off when min-putt courses are selected. Update 0.9.1 - Bot Challenges and More [Huge Update]Mar 26, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsWe know this update took much longer than the previous updates… Well, that is for good reason.

Quality of Life: Give Up button, club selection improvements, control improvements, UI improvements, Lobby Improvements, etc. Bug Fixes: Yeah, there were a few of these too! Challenges and Bot Golfers! Next time you play Tee Time Golf you might notice the “Challenges” option from the play menu. Challenges let you play against a Bot golfer in a 9 or 18 hole challenge. If you beat the bot you unlock them for use in Local Play and when Hosting a Match Online. You also unlock new gear, ball trails, clothes, and equipment available to purchase. You asked for a better single player experience, and this is it. Over 10+ hours of entertaining and challenging single player experience. Over 50 challenges in all. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33435682/e8448aa80409b77acfd20efc9f738ab024ec36ea.jpg Meet Chips McGee https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33435682/21ff5603b00b800c0dc8f51e4bde476d56dc9a87.jpg Challenges are a new way to play https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33435682/71fd216df0693161477c6a711b311eeb15ce2c3d.jpg Ball Flight Camera System Improved “Variety is the spice of life” right? Before the update you’d get the same camera after every shot you’d take. Now there is a lot more variety which gives a lot of nice-looking views during your golf round. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33435682/4392940de9f04ee109bc5637b95ad442503e76fa.jpg Designer Fairway Templates When you are creating a new hole, you’ll notice the fairway templates have been improved. There is now a great selection and they connect to the green by default. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33435682/62d5b7e7ee...Update 0.7.5 – Progression Update: “Excellent Holes” and XP changesOct 11, 2018 - Community AnnouncementsThis update improves on how players earn XP/Coins throughout their round. The update also includes changes to how XP earnings are calculated. Additionally, there are new XP Bonuses such as “Great” and “Excellent” performance holes. At the end of the round, golfers can now earn “Good” and “Excellent” round bonuses as well. Great and Excellent holes While you are playing you might notice a few changes. After a hole you now might see “Excellent” or “Great” performance: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33435682/57fc3b19c243b76e38e244c249b86956bb82e826.png Golfers will now earn Good, Great or Excellent performance based on how well they perform. The players performance will be measured by comparing them to the rest of the world! If the golfer is shooting better compared to the average golfer. They will receive an XP and Coin bonus for that hole! The bonus XP is based off your performance: Good Scores: +1 XP, +1 Coins Great Scores: +2 XP, +2 Coins Excellent Scores: +3 XP, +3 Coins There have also been changes to the base XP earnings. Base XP Earnings The XP players earn after completing a hole is now determined by that holes difficulty. For example, a difficult par 4 will give the player more XP than completing an easy par 4. So now when you Birdie the most difficult hole on the course, you will get a bigger reward than in previous versions of Tee Time Golf! “Excellent” and Other Round Bonuses There are now various potential rewards players will earn when a round is completed. The user can earn the following bonuses: Finish Bonus: This is earned by playing a complete round. (Regardless of score.) Good Finish: If you score greater than the average round you will earn a Good Finish! Excellent Finish: If you score much greater than the average round you will earn an Excellent Finish! Early Bird Bonus: If this is the first round on the course from the players tee block, they will earn the “Early Bird Bonus.” https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33435682/6aa1d595147ff8474d602e262a7049bd5a510b2c.png Well, that’s what update 0.7.5 has to offer! These changes should make progression feel much more balanced between difficult and easy courses. Skilled players will notice more XP earnings, especially on those difficult holes! Other Notes: -Fixed a bug where Oculus were showing the wrong helps menus for their controls. Update 0.7.4 - Top Score MessagesOct 7, 2018 - Community AnnouncementsIn this latest update, during game play we now show the Top Round, Your Best, and Score to Beat. Top Round Shows who has the best round for the tee box you are currently playing on (Red, White, Blue or Black Tees). https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33435682/be922c1a658afa91e5882d0610f968659eb08d02.png Your Best Shows your best round on the tee box you are currently playing on. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33435682/56ac1fd7e8c6d9eeb7a555e776bc6a3fbe364e1d.png Score to Beat Shows shows the score you need to tie or beat in order to move up in ranking for the best score on the tee box you are currently playing on. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33435682/f1a0f689eed21b74ac0a189213316bae72b14b29.png This works for both courses that come with the game and user-created courses. We are excited to watch you all compete for the best rounds on all of the courses. See you on the course!Oculus Cross-Platform Multiplayer Now Available.Oct 3, 2018 - Community AnnouncementsAs of today (October 3, 2018), Tee Time Golf is now available on the Oculus Store. This means you will be able to play online multiplayer matches with people who buy the game there. We even support cross-platform voice chat, so you will be able to chat with Oculus platform players too. When in an online match, if you notice a gamer with a white icon/avatar/pic with the Tee Time logo, it is very likely they are a cross-platform player. As an additional bonus, player created courses are cross-platform as well. Any course an Oculus Platform player creates and publishes will be playable by Steam players. The same goes in reverse, where courses created by Steam players will be available for Oculus players to play. This is cool because it means more people will be playing and rating your courses. Leaderboards, however, will still be unique to each platform. We put quite a bit of effort into making this work because we want you to have the biggest community possible for multiplayer and custom courses. Enjoy and see you on the course!Update to version 0.7.3 Now AvailableSep 23, 2018 - Community AnnouncementsVersion 0.7.3 is now available! Here is what we’ve addressed and improved: Networking: You can now turn on/off voice chat through the Audio menu. Gameplay: You can now use left mouse click to swing once your swing meter is active. Mouse will now hide if the mouse is inactive for more than 3 seconds in gameplay. User Interface: Player's Tee Block indicator is now displayed on Scorecard. Designer: Fixed a bug where you were unable to publish the first time you created a course. Misc: Fixed a few trees that were having collision issues. Fixed bug where water border showed land at the edges. Update to version 0.7.2 Now AvailableSep 6, 2018 - Community AnnouncementsVersion 0.7.2 is now available! Here is what we’ve addressed and improved: Networking: Private Match Steam invites should now work better for players in cross region play. Improvements to Voice Chat stability and quality! Gameplay: Added: In VR you’ll now be able to see your Swing Power % after your shot. You will no longer default to the Fairway wood in certain bunker situations. User Interface: Various User Interface improvements. More button help indicators. Misc: Ability to choose between keyboard or gamepad in non-vr at start if a gamepad is plugged in. Various stability improvements and other minor bug fixes. Update to version 0.7.1 now available.Sep 2, 2018 - Community AnnouncementsVersion 0.7.1 is now available. In this update we addressed the following issues: Cross Region people can now play against each other. In previous builds, it was impossible for people in North America to play matches against people in Europe. With this update, we default everyone to the North American matchmaking services. We are looking into allowing everyone to select which server they want to connect to for matchmaking. The nasty bug where you play a couple of holes and then the game freezes has been fixed. How to know when you have the patch? When you start up the game reach the main menu, on the bottom left of the screen near the twitter icon is the build version. Your build version will say 0.7.1. If it does not, then you may need to close the game and restart the game. If that does not work, then you may need to close the Steam client and reopen to force an update. Thanks and Enjoy your Golf, Barkers Crest
