There's a Reddit thread that led to a communal document chronicling all of the bugs and crash events. The devs are using it as a checklist (it was more thorough than their own) for patches that are on the way.

I'm stuck in the murder mystery bit. Someone give me a hint? I have to get the red ball which I'm pretty sure will knock down Dorris's book that will then send her to sleep, and I know it was in a guy's pocket before laundry. I don't have a Laundry Token for the machine and searching the bag on the floor doesn't give me the ball either. I also don't have the green ball or any idea where it is. I have a bottle of Vinegar I've done nothing with, and I've done the Dinner stuff and the Chamomile Soda. I've also replaced the Bell with a working one but I don't know why.

There's a shelf next to Lara. Interact with it. No, there's no reason why you'd know to do this.

Don't get his hopes up. Blue Dunes is a bigger challenge but if you're going 10 under par you've clearly cracked the code of this game.

I was routinely 10 or more under on my runs and dunes still kicked my rear end with its 12 hour winds. Played it -1

Most of the courses are easy/fair. BD isn't. The holes are much longer. There is more water and bunkers and rough. Many holes you are pretty much screwed if you hit one bunker.

Well actually... that shelf was the first thing I checked when that sequence started, and got an "odd, it looks like there's a bottle missing here" message. So I knew there was something going on with bottles, though I never actually made the connection and "solved" that one by pure chance.

It's such a weird hiccup when basically everything else there is clearly signposted. Including the thing that Lara solves for you! :nallears:

I do better on Dunes than Oak Manor, frankly, and more consistently. The holes are long, but you should be driving 300+ yards a shot by that point.

...if I had gotten that message I would have known to do that! Even if I don't know why I'm doing it. Is this the mythical bit where they call out that this poo poo is stupid and arbitrary and crazy because I'm excited for that.

Apparently holding L/R while golfing are the buttons to add front and back spin to your swing. This is separate from pressing X to pinpoint where on the ball you want to hit it which alters the trajectory but doesn't add any spin to the ball.

Y'all been pumping points into the spin stat not even knowing how to use it lol

To be fair the only way you'd know about the spin buttons is if you hit the minus button while teeing up, and nobody tells you about the minus button.

Same, actually. I just assume it's on Blue Dunes because I haven't really scoped the whole place out yet.

Also, alt course guy peaked at spoopy halloween course. Tidy Park and Blue Dunes were easy by comparison. Does he have more later?

I just started and they don't seem to explain anything very well. Like I wasn't very sure what pressing X and Y does, and I just got to the disc golf.

Game is great though. I don't care much for actual golf but I am so into this.

It might be on the frisbee course. There is no way to know which one you missed just by saying "the 5th."

If you explore everything you will find it. It's not hard.

also did I miss the Genie the first time around? I paid the dude for two wishes but when I talked to the genie first he said "you're too late, I'm already free"

I read somewhere that he sells you things for $$$. But it seems like that amount of $$$ is only accessible by grinding. So, what's the point? The game is already over at that point.

Yeah, you throw a grand to the boom box girl and she tells the genie to give you one of her wishes. You can do this twice. The first time he upgrades your wellworn drivers, the second time he upgrades your wellworn irons. It increases the degree to which you can shape your shots to a pretty crazy level, basically makes trees a total nonissue, your lobbed shots lobbier, and your straight shots straighter.
