Great update!! Love the attention to detail. And the CPU player option.
I'm getting a hard crash when I try to go to the practice range. Mac 10.15.7
A few other thoughts:
- No par 5s? Or did I miss them.
- Why limit the club selection on par 3s? I often don't have enough power to reach.
- A small quibble, the player with the lowest score on a hole should be the first to tee off on the next hole (they have the 'honour').
Keep up the good work!
Thanks! re: the crash - does your mac have an intel GPU? I've noticed on my HD4000 (mac mini) that there's a very specific bug which causes the game to crash when it tries to display tool tips. I've had people test it on other mac hardware without problems, so I think it's a niche Apple aren't going to fix (they're trying to steer everyone towards using their proprietry graphics APIs, and would rather sell you a new mac than fix an old one 🙄) which is unfortunate. Best I can do is isolate tool tips in the next update and, as ridiculous as it sounds, ask people to navigate menus by keyboard (or controller) rather than mouse for now - sorry!😅 To address your other points:
Thanks for all the feedback, I really appreciate it. It's what keeps me motivated and the game improving!
Oh, hum. Sounds like you've found a new bug 😥 If you could tell me exactly the steps you do to cause it to crash, that would be awesome, so I can try and reproduce it myself. Also, if it's possible, if there's a message which says 'vga_golf quit unexpectedly', could you click on the button that says 'Report' and then from the new window copy paste the text between 'Thread 0 crashed' and 'Thread 1' and send it to me? You should be able to paste it here. I'd really appreciate it, thanks! 😁 (You don't need to send it to Apple, I doubt they'd do much lol)
Oops I read CPU, not GPU. The video card in this thing is a GeForce GTX 680MX
The steps to reproduce are just to run the programme then select Practice and then Driving Range with the keyboard. The game shuts down at that point. Here's the error report:

Awesome, thanks. This looks unrelated to the other crash, in fact I'm pretty sure I know what this is, and it should be an easy fix. FWIW the other crash happens if you hover the mouse over an option in the option menu, or over the Add Player icon - it *should* have a little tool tip/bit of text which tells you what the option does, but on intel graphics cards it just crashes 😥 This crash on the other hand is just me being forgetful (not setting the file path correctly to load something on the driving range) 😳 Thanks again for the help, I'll have an update uploaded ASAP!
