Many long awaited changes are making their way into our builds with this update, that’s right, I said builds. First off, we have finally got our hands on Oculus Touch and addressed many of the issues plaguing the Oculus Community in TGCVR. We have also reworked the tutorial for any new Touch users who make their way to the game moving forward.
In other notable news, we also have a Beta branch available for you to test out. This includes a version of TGCVR on par with the new update with an engine upgrade to Unity 5.5. The reason we are putting this out as a Beta for now is to get it in your hands a little early. There are still some bugs due to the upgrade and optimizations to take place in order to get the full affect. However we feel that it’s in a good spot now to let you experience what we have been working on.
Testing the Beta
To install the beta you will need to use the following steps:
• Select The Golf Club VR in your Steam Library and right click on the name.
• In the popup menu you will want to select Properties.
• In the Properties window you will want to select the Betas tab along the top menu.
• There will be a dropdown menu to select the beta “tgcvr-beta”.
• The update will proceed automatically.
We encourage everyone to try out the beta build and share your experience with us on the forums whether you see improvements or have issues with the build.
New and Updated Features:
Oculus Touch
Many of this issues reported on the forums have been addressed. We have also gone the step further to update the tutorial for new and existing Touch users.
Ball Locators
We have added a ball locator while driving the golf cart to help you find it along your travels.
Putting Weights
Due to issues with green speeds we have added and option for those who are having issues putting. You can now select the weight of your putter to help with your control on the green. The heavier your putter, more force will be required to get you to the hole.
Final Club Tunings
Craig has completed a final pass at our clubs and has addressed a handful of issues that have been reported. Playing onto the green is much more manageable now and you should see a more realistic result to punch and flop shots.
Miscellaneous
• Hex Buttons now display tooltips while pointing at them.
• Shot grade contact % bug has been addressed.
• Golf cart seat orientation has been fixed.
• We have added a seatbelt button to the golf cart that prevents you from being ejected.
• Golf cart physics tunings. The bouncing/rocking/tipping has been severely reduced.
