goodbye PRO ....... hellooooo AMATEUR !

[JackRussellTerror]

well, got meself a new Windows10 Desktop up and running - saying bye to Win7 !
the new toy has got a 2Gb dedicated nVidia GEFORCE video card (budget ASUS variety). After installing Links, and putting in ALL the required patches - including the NVIDIA FIX patch, am able to now enjoy the game in all its glory at the highest resolutions ! and even NOW been able to see the top down ball flight in Top Camera .........wonderful !

BUT i can't get any where near 6 snap ! i snap it bang on 6, and it registers at around 5........i'm in the WOODS nearly every shot. Putting is hopeless !

anyone know if there is a workaround for this snap problem ?? i know i'm nailing it at 6 but it registers at 5. Maybe its just an inherant NVidia problem ?

so i'm off to play Ammy ! the game and (LOL) "snap" works well there.

so long PRO and good luck guys !

Haven't noticed that issue myself and I've been running win10 for a couple of years. Are you using a wired or wireless mouse? I've heard the wireless have a lag, but I don't think upgrading to win10 would make a difference from win7.

[dick_burt]

Like goBucks says, been playing for 2 years.

Solution to your mouse problem......PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

I also use the large swingmeter. Don't think it changes the speed, but helps my old eyes!

[JackRussellTerror]

thanks for your replies guys.......

am using a 2 buttoned Logitech laser WIRED mouse, one year old. It was brilliant on the snap in Win7.

yes LOL i tried the large swing meter yesterday - failing eyes TOO ! but alas, still can't hit 6 snap.

shall perserve with PRO level with the new toy for another week and see how it goes, otherwise the Amateur wings await.......

i do have another old Logitech wired mouse here in the draw.....might give that a test run.

If I remember correctly when I changed from XP to Win7 it seemed that meter was faster and when I tried Win10 when I could get it to work meter seemed faster also. Converted back to W7 after a few weeks not because of Links but the way 10 worked like crap. But just could be our age issue

[JackRussellTerror]

yes the 'old age' factor hey Gibby

well tried my other good mouse on the new Win10 toy and no good.....it registers every time at 5 when i know i've nailed the snap at 6 !

booted up my (now replaced) Win 7 box and teed off........nailed all snaps right on 6. Swapped back to my new Win10 box and NUP, no good....swing meter registers my 6 snap at 5 ! BUGGERATION !

i DO have a workaround tho ! "sometimes desperate times require for desperate measures" LOL ? ............ seeing i only play about one event a week, it wouldn't be too much trouble in hooking up my Win 7 box for Links golf ONLY ! wipe the Win 7 HDD, reload Win 7 OS, update Micro$oft security patches to Win 7's end date, add Firewall Antivirus. Install Links. THEN only use that system for GOLF ! IF i ever got hacked while ONLINE for Links....WHO CARES ! no big deal. All my normal computing work and internet is on my new Win 10 box

just a thought......

I installed Win 10 and couldn't play I was getting too many mouse farts. I had a wireless mouse. Took my old wired mouse plugged it back in, problem fixed.
