Smoother online play and a pile of fixes

We spent July on online play. Games with other people should feel smoother now, with less stutter and lag, and we fixed a stack of bugs that only showed up when you joined someone else's game.

Improved

  • Online matches stutter less, feel more responsive and send far less data, and we fixed the random hitches some players saw when playing online.
  • Nothing can knock you over while you're lining up a shot. Saws, spinners, carts and other golfers pass straight through you.
  • Times on the scoreboard are whole seconds now, without the decimals.

Fixed

  • Moving platforms no longer hitch or sit in the wrong spot when you stand on them in someone else's game.
  • Spinner obstacles no longer slow down when a golfer runs into them.
  • Golf carts now knock over every golfer, not just the host.
  • Other golfers no longer get stuck in a falling pose when you watch them online.
  • Your golfer no longer gets stuck after finishing a swing.
  • The running sound no longer keeps playing while you're ragdolled.
  • Pickups in the waiting room no longer respawn twice in the same spot.
  • Fixed a scoreboard crash and a network error that could trip up online matches.
