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.
