Happy weekend everyone! We're nearing the end of our first playtest, and the last day you will have access to play is Sunday, February 25th. Everyone who requested an invite has been given access!

Here's a little hype montage to get you motivated!

We'd love to hear from you if you've played the game, please don't be shy! Join our Discord to give some feedback. We'd love to know what you'd like in a Disc Golf Adventure game, and we've already started to iterate based on the information we've received.

Thank you to everyone who's participated! We truly appreciate everyone's interest. Stay tuned! Early Access, the full 18 hole Elder Forest course, 20 Discs, and a free 3-hole Demo is on the way. We'll also have future Playtests when there is a major update or content drop.

The newest hotfix addresses key issues from update 3.4.0 and offers a bonus for our community.

• Texture Optimization: Some of the sky textures have been enhanced for better aesthetics and performance.
  
• Weapon Mesh Correction: Fixed the visible sphere on the weapon mesh for an unobstructed visual experience.
  
• Steam VR Launch Fix: Eliminated the bug causing Steam VR to launch unexpectedly with update 3.4.0.
  
• One Month of Kovaak’s Plus: As an apology for the recent pricing error, we are awarding the entire player base with a month of Kovaak’s Plus!

We're grateful for your patience and support through these fixes. The complimentary Kovaak’s Plus has been automatically applied to your account. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope you enjoy the premium benefits!

To ensure a smooth gaming experience, please update your game to the latest version.

Hello, everyone! We were alerted that an achievement to these retired games became unobtainable due to a bug introduced late in development. This patch resolves that issue, so all achievements for the game should be unlockable.

Fixes:

• Added ability for beehives to be shot down and scented to resolve a bug causing the honey scent to no longer be attainable.

• Customers now receive a more appropriate number of empties for interchange services beyond the daily one.
  
• Changed Graham County Pulpwood to a high volume pulpwood source, similar to Connelly and Walker. This means it now loads incrementally rather than with interchange service. This is a temporary measure; we plan to revise the Graham County interchange in the future.
  
• Fixed jumping singleplayer player (or multiplayer host) to spawn when loading a game saved while ridiing on equipment. (RR-342)
  
• Fixed Robinson Gap and Alarka mines not filling as many cars as they should while waiting or sleeping. (RR-345)
  
• Fixed Bryson Freight Hours track FR1 appearing multiple times in locations panel. (RR-164)
  
• Trainmaster and up can now use the `/fill` and `/setload` commands in sandbox.

Finally found what you guys meant by blur ;d
