Patch Notes

 

Build Version: 1.1.2-436

 

Changes & Improvements

Added options to disable the following knockout protection-related rules in the Rules tab of the Match Setup menu:

Repeat Recovery Protection

Orange shields with longer durations being granted instead of blue shields upon recovering from the 3rd or more knockout within a 30 second window

Domination Protection

Red shields granted to a player who is dominated by another with a streak of 6 knockouts on a single hole, protecting them only against the dominating player, which last until the dominated player retaliates

White Flag

Appearing over dominated players’ heads, preventing any further knockouts inflicted on them from awarding the players dominating them with speed boosts

Red knockout immunity shields are now only given to players who are dominated by another player with a streak of 6 knockouts if the entire knockout streak occurs on the same hole, rather than the streak carrying over between holes. Existing red shields will still be carried over between holes

Improvements to the votekicking system:

At least 1/3rd of eligible voters in a lobby must vote “yes” for a votekick to succeed, even if more “yes” votes were cast than “no” votes

If the lobby host votes “no” on a votekick, it counts as a veto and immediately ends the votekick with a failure, regardless of how many “yes” votes were cast

In public lobbies:

Non-host players can only initiate or participate in votekicks after having been connected to the lobby for at least 15 minutes

Players who have been connected to the lobby for less than 15 minutes do not count towards the total number of eligible voters on a votekick (unless the votekick is targeted against them, in which case they still automatically vote “no”)

Hosts are not subject to the 15 minute limitation and can initiate and participate in votekicks immediately upon creating the lobby

Hosts can instantly kick players who have been connected to the lobby for less than 15 minutes

If a votekick is initiated against a player who has been connected for less than 15 minutes and the host votes “yes”, the target of the votekick will be kicked immediately

In friends or invite-only lobbies:

Hosts can always immediately kick other players

Players are allowed to initiate and participate in votekicks as soon as they connect, and are not subject to the 15 minute limitation

Non-host players who have been connected to the lobby for less than 15 minutes will have a label reading “new” by their name on the pause menu

Tooltips, onscreen messages, and automated text messages have been edited and added to clarify all of the above

 

Optimization & Fixes

Fixed players being hit with a swung landmine very briefly before being unfrozen causing them to be stuck in a frozen state for the duration of the hole

Fixed orange (extended duration) knockout immunity shields being granted to players even if their past three knockouts did not occur within a 30 second window under certain circumstances

Fixed players being awarded a speed boost when freezing a player with a white flag (meaning they are dominated by the freezing player) while the player being frozen is in a golf cart

Fixed red knockout immunity shields (caused by dominating another player with a streak of 6 knockouts all happening on a single hole) not being visible at the start of a new hole under certain circumstances

Fixed golf balls not passing through players who have a red shield against the ball's owner under rare circumstances

Fixed the 16th player in the lobby’s kick and mute buttons on the pause menu not being clickable

Fixed players freezing themselves and another player with a freeze bomb during a match being awarded the “Playing with Fire” achievement
