    Patch process has to be the absolute worst thing about the XB1. The whole Microsoft certification process takes so flipping long. Things take way too long to get to their consumers. Love how on the PC once a dev has a patch, it's live the same day.

      My guess is the cert process is so complex on Xbox due to the ever evolving nature of the dash OS. It is very complex and with monthly updates of features getting even more so.


      Horizon 2 even had an issue yesterday with people in the preview dash. They pushed out a server side fix and a preview dash fix today

        Today's news about the patch was a major buzz-kill! Yeah, I play the game on the PS4 also, but I'd like to be able to play it on my XB1 with my larger, more established Friend base on XBL. It's pretty obvious from this that HBS is in unfamiliar turf with Microsoft and the way they process patches. I don't doubt that as an Indie developer, they get sort of lower tier treatment. Still, I'm very disappointed that it will be at least 5 more days before we might have a shot at seeing a patch for the XB1 version

          I should update my previous post about the patch delay for the XB1. The worst possible scenario is that if the patch isn't ready for distribution by Wednesday of this coming week, HBS will hold it back and bundle it with the update that is scheduled to be released the week after next, the way it's being presented now.

          I know a good bit about what's going on with part of this patch in regard to the game's cameras and presentation options, but I've agreed not to disclose the details until HBS is ready to do so themselves. I can say that these changes will radically change the way I view and experience the game! It's almost going to seem like a new game to me, but I have a psychotic fetish about cameras and presentation These changes, along with what I'm hoping will be performance improvements via the patch should change a lot of attitudes about the game... mine - which is now an apathetic one - included

            It is such a pain. Friend's score don't appear on my leaderboard and I don't have ghost balls to compete against.

              Yeah, I found this to be the case in a tournament I created. The PS4 patch didn't fully fix this either. They're working on it according to the Community Manager, but we may not see the full fix until the update.

                Tournaments? Mate, I can't even start or join a tournament because I get a disconnection error every time.

                Very annoying because I like the game.

                  The Executive Producer of The Golf Club posted news that Microsoft has approved the XB1 patch and it will be posted for download around 5:00 AM, EDT, Friday morning (10/10/14).

                  They have also indicated that Update 1, which is going to add some new features and content, is ready for submission. They couldn't submit the update for certification until the patch was approved. As an aside, they've planned to submit both the XB1 and PS4 updates for certification at the same time, so now that both versions have been patched, we could see the updated versions as early as next week, although it now seems that Sony is a lot quicker on turning submissions around than Microsoft.

                  I'm not sure though if HBS can't submit the update until after the patch is posted, or after it had been approved. If it's the latter, they could submit the update to Sony and Microsoft tomorrow. This update is going to really turn some heads, based on what I know about it

                    Turn some heads, huh? Now that sounds promising

                      And now I can tell you why: The PC update released yesterday and with it we've got new swing camera options. I love option 3 (they actually took the coordinates for the custom camera view I always dialed up manually suing the Game Camera settings in the PC version for option 3) for all cameras and putt soooooo much better from that perspective.

                      Option 3's camera is closer to the golfer and up a little bit higher, about shoulder to neck height, and is angled down a bit more such that you can see more of an overhead view of the the clubhead. I find that not only does this give me a more intimate sense of immersion with my golfer, it allows me to gauge the clubhead movement much better during putting. This will help me out tremendously on the XB1 both with performance and aesthetic pleasure. I'm anxious to spend some quality time with this update installed to see all the more subtle things I haven't had time to digest just yet.

                      But the big news is the ability to transition between the golfer perspective camera and follow camera at your discretion now. It is (at least for me) a revolutionary step for The Golf Club. I got to see it in action for the first time this morning and it is a pure, visceral eyegasm! I missed seeing how to make it happen at first. If you've got your settings using Golfer cam, you have to press the "A" button (if you're using an XBox controller as I am on the PC) to tell the game when to transition from golfer to follow camera. It works beautifully and transforms the game into the player perspective/in-the-moment experience I've been after!

                        Very nice! I just looked at the HB update notes on the HB forum and it appears to be a very solid update, with the new cameras, a new theme, new course creation objects, wind tuning, amongst other things. I am hoping the wind tuning means a reduction in how the ball is affected.... We shall see!

                              I used the conversion chart and it came out 7:00 pm. Do any of you have the patch yet?
