Course Updates?

[LinksPro]

Why are there so many different versions of courses? Are they being updated that frequently? I can see one and maybe one updated version but 5? I was looking through my course files and I have 5 versions of Valhalla. I see the same with other courses in my folder also. Just curious. I appreciate all the work the folks do that make these courses. I'm not trying to put anyone down here. Just curious.

you should delete old versions.....

As Mark said you should always remove older versions of courses.

The designers release updates to their courses as they see fit and usually when someone testing it finds a ball hitting an object that isn't there etc etc. If they get a lot of issues then they will release newer versions.

But...I will assume that we need to hold latest versions of both 3DG and non-3DG versions of the same course?

That reminds me, a few of us that play together regularly noticed the 3DG courses and download a couple. We tried to play them and had problems on both courses. Guys would lag some holes, swing meter would disappear, couldn't finish 9 holes. Whats up with them?

I myself save the latest standard version and the 3dg in case tourneys are set on either, the reason
for issues I would think is that you need a lot of computer azz to play some of the bigger 3dg courses.
I have yet to find any I can't play so I guess a 1060 card is good along with 16gb of memory.

When 3DG first came out, I saw recommended minimum of 2GB GPU...but most of the people citing lag have that much. I have a rig similar to Dave's (32 GB RAM and a 1060 card) and I have found no issues at all with 3DG courses.

We try to keep both the 3DG version and non-3DG version of a course because of issues with lag on the 3DG version. When we set tournies we actively try to avoid 3DG versions.

32GB RAM is definitely overkill but 16GB should work perfectly.

• RAM for gaming – 4 GB: Having just 4 GB of RAM will limit your options in terms of game titles and genres, although some older, simpler games will work well.

• RAM for gaming – 8 GB: An 8 GB RAM chip is recommended to support the broadest selection of today’s PC games and game styles. Many experts call it the gaming “sweet spot” for RAM.

• RAM for gaming – 16 GB: If you’re trying to “future proof” your new gaming system, having 16 GB of RAM might be a good idea.

• RAM for gaming – 32 GB: As of mid-2019, nearly every gaming expert considers 32 GB of RAM to be overkill for gaming. Such massive RAM amounts are mostly aimed at video editors and others with hyper-sized working files. In fact, many of the advanced visual features of today’s PC games rely more on the VRAM on a discrete graphics card than on general, system-wide RAM.

There are plenty of other things you should look at if buying a new PC.

So the reason I have 32GB is I multi-task while I play, often streaming video on a second monitor.
