Golf: Game Play Recommendations (157601)

SUMMARY

This article discusses Golf version 3.0 game play issues. Use the following tips to ensure proper game performance:

• It's recommended that you do not change screen resolutions during gameplay.
  
  
• If for some reason you're having trouble moving the swing control or if it disappears, click the Views menu, then click Layout. Select a layout and click the Use button. If this doesn't work, save your game and restart Golf. Then select a new layout again.
  
  
• Some of the advanced features of the Microsoft Intellipoint 2.0 Mouse software may interfere with the swing control in Golf 3.0. The ClickSaver, Snap To, Focus, Smart Speed, and the Clicklock features should be turned off before playing Golf 3.0.
  
  
• When you pause a recorded player using the onscreen Waiting for Shot alert dialog box, the dialog box subsequently disappears. To activate the player, simply click the Swing Control.
  
  
• Running both Golf 2.0 and Golf 3.0 simultaneously from the same machine will cause both versions to run incorrectly.
  
  
• Recorded players from previous versions of Golf will be converted when added to Golf 3.0; however, this conversion will sometimes cause some player attributes (such as gender) to change.
  
  
• If Harbour Town or Banff Springs disappear from your course selection list, run Setup again and select the reinstall option.
  
  
• If ambient background sounds stop during your game, choosing Help or running a flyby usually resets the sound. If not, you can save the game, restart Golf, and resume the game.
  
  
• Setting the aggressiveness of computer players to extreme values (1 or 10) may cause strange behavior by the computer player. You should avoid these settings if possible.
