I will try to setup another match tomorrow night

3 hours for a 4-person match? Is this normal?

Hey I signed up and used chinaski as the referrer. I'll try to join in some this weekend, my name is tasan on there as well.

JeeberDMack · 04-14-2005, 11:17 PM

I'll definitely give this a look once I get back into town...

JHandley · 04-14-2005, 11:27 PM

I am completely lost. I keep going to the practice course, I pay my green fees and then I can't do anything other than hit the same drive off the tee. It's like the game doesn't progress. I hit my drive, it tells me how far it went, and then I go again.

I was able to get to lvl 8 playing on the beginner course, but what happens when I run out of my free admissions? How doI earn other admissions? Do they cost a certain amount of Ng's?

If this is explained in the help, could someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Coffee Warlord · 04-14-2005, 11:42 PM

Yeah, just play the beginner course a bunch. It costs some amount of cash every time, but you make more during the course of the match.

My chick has one sexy ass.

Raven · 04-15-2005, 12:03 AM

Weird things happening for me here.

I played the tutorial just fine. Then I was played out the 3 practice holes with np. Now I am on the grass, and the icons keep flashing on and off. They won't stay up long enough for me to see what to do next, so I finally found how to exit. I'll try again, but I am wondering if this is my video card acting up?

FrogMan · 04-15-2005, 07:16 AM

I installed the thing but there's something that's not right with it. The text is all garbled, as if it only showed the first three letters of every sentences. Like whe I go to connect, if I enter my username in the field, it'll read something like "qcfqcfqcfqcf" in stead of what I'm typing which is "qcfrogman". Also the button on the right, which I assume should read "confirm" reads "conconcon" and tha "cancel" button read "cancancan"...

Anyway, you see what I mean. I'm able to enter my username and password, and the second screen is much of the same, can't read anything... Didn't spend much time troubleshooting it, but I saw some other people reporting it on their forums...

Anybody else had this problem? If so, did you fix it and how?

Hey Frogman, I think this might have something to do with your regional settings in windows. Try switching it to somewhere in America (PST or EST)

well, unless I screwed up my settings when I installed Windows, it should be in America, Quebec is in America

Not picking on you btw...

I read something about an east language package or something like that... I'll have to fool with it tonight. I'm kind of worried that it may be my graphic card, cause I got the kind of crappy thing that came with my Compaq Presario, so...

Thanks.

The first time you log into the game it goes thru the tutorial and explains the difference between the Beginners Course and the Practice Course, im not sure if there is anymore clarification beyond that. Practice course is just a few different practice scenarios: putting green, chipping green, drive range and the actual single golfer practice course. The practice course has its own FAQ that you can get to when youre on that course, but basically on the practice course you can move the ball anmywhere by right clicking on the minimap where you want to drop the ball, then you just practice your shot. You dont get any XP or NG from putzing around on the practice course, but you do from completing the skill challenges on the putting, chipping and driving ranges.

Sounds like you found the Beginners course ok, which is where all the main action goes down (at least for everyone under LVL 20). The green fee for any match on the Beginners course is 1,000 NG (match, skin, stroke - regardless how many holes.. 3, 6, 9, or 18 = 1,000 NG). If you hit just a couple good shots, youre going to make back your green fee pretty quik. So it seems like the beginners course free admissions you start out with are just to get you going, after you play a 18 or more holes with a group, youre going to have a lot of NG.

Hope that helps!

Marmel · 04-15-2005, 10:13 AM

I am starting to develope a nice touch on this game now. My handicap is down to 13, but in the last 12 holes I played, I got 10 pars and 2 bogeys. Up to level 11. It takes a bit of time to get a feel for the distances and putting, and playing the same course over and over forces you to learn the best way to play different holes.

I am ready for the FOFC Tour!

JHandley · 04-15-2005, 10:18 AM

I had a problem with text similar to yours, FM. I wasn't gettting the same letters repeating, but about halfway into the sentence, it would...double up. It would print two different lines on top of each other. It wasn't enough to bother me and I could usually figure out what it was trying to say.

I don't imagine it's a problem with your graphic card not being able to handle the load, but it does sound like it might be a driver issue. You might want to reinstall the drivers and see if that clears it up.

Marmel · 04-15-2005, 10:22 AM

Has anybody spent any of their Ng on equipment yet? I was looking at spikes and gloves and some clubs, but had no idea if I would just be wasting Ng on some of this stuff.

JHandley · 04-15-2005, 10:22 AM

Chinaski -

Yeah, after I just gave up on the practice course, I was able to get in a few rounds with a couple other people. Seems odd that the beginners course is so cheap to play, having really only played maybe 3-4 rounds, I'm sitting at about 70k. Can't figure out why they have the free admissions. Thanks for the help.

I also thought about upgrading the drivers. Might do that tonight, unless FM2005 grabs me and doesn't let go

Aaah, ok. I just know this is a Korean produced game, so i thought maybe they overlooked you Habs

I see some garbled text on my end just rarely, and i think that is just untranslated korean they missed.

I think if you go to hxxp://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5consumer/default.aspx?ln=en-us
you'll find the eastern language pack install.

I haven't spent anything because I didn't know how much the green fees for the beginner course was. Now that I do, I may be investing in some clubs, but I haven't been able to figure out what benefits you get from the shoes and gloves. Might be just a cosmetic thing to go along with the RPG portion of the game.

However, I don't get the RPG portion of the game yet at all either. I'm not sure why the designer wanted to make it an RPG instead of simply a great grand golf game. There could have been tours, from expert to beginner. Leagues made up of friends or public leagues. Could have had a wager tour, no prize money, just win whatever you can from the other player.

Not yet. Although I did shoot an 81 last night on the beginner course.

Ive been holding on to my NG's till I hit lvl 20, when you can finally buy new clubs. From what ive seen, new clubs run 100k plus.

The RPG portion of the game is just the advancement of your players skill stats, beyond that it looks like they have some sort of quest system - but its not available yet. I imagine that will be used for completing certain skill challenges, unless they want me to go hunt 10 ground hogs?

Handley, there are tours and everything else you mention (maybe not right this second, but all of that is planned from what i understand). I believe you have to be lvl 20+ to compete in the championship series tour. A Skin game is a great way to win money, I won 9k a hole for 9 holes yesterday!

I think everything is just a cosmetic purchase until you hit level 20. Once you hit 20, you can buy all sorts of stuff that has additional stat enhancements (clubs, clothes, balls, drinks)

I havent spent a cent yet, saving up for new woods!

From what I can tell there are 2 ways. (1) increase your impact rating and (2) right click on the golf ball (the same one you click to swing), moving the red dot to the bottom of the ball.

I'm a beginner still, so take that advise with a grain of salt.

Cool, I've been striking the bottom of the ball but it hits the green and just rolls. Of course I'm only a lvl. 3 right now and Woton does not start with any impact skill.

It did that. It is after that is done that I click connect and it closes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it still does the same thing.

You got the right idea, youre just to low in lvl right now. You really wont be able to put much noticable spin on the ball until you get your impact skill above 10.

The support on the game is pretty sparse right now, the generic answer is to make sure your graphics card drivers and directx are completely up to date. Ive seen a few problems similar to yours get resolved this way, but im not finding anyone with the exact same problem as you :/

BrianD · 04-15-2005, 03:56 PM

There is some equipment you can buy that adjusts stats. I believe I was looking at some shoes that added a +6 to power and a -6 to impact, or something like that.

just keep in mind, this is a RPG'ish golf game. Your not going to be able to put any noticeable backspin on the ball until you get your characters stats up, same applies to draws, fades and putting to a smaller degree.
