Latest update now makes Quick Match even more limited.

Got a message there was a new update available, so I installed it tonight.

Nothing has changed in the new Menu options given to us in the last few months for Quick Match (ie: take what even more limited selection of Courses we give you for QM, we're not going back to how it was before, etc...), except that now you can't even play with Friends you have saved unless you sign in!

Another backward step. Almost ready to free up 15 GB of useless space on my Quest for something else...

There's even less incentive for people to play QM now. Some nights I wait for 10 minutes before giving up as not many join it now like before.

And no, I'm not going to join Disbored...

Gloop Lair Putter

Anyone else super disappointed by the Gloop Lair’s putter? I absolutely loved the course with all its 80’s nostalgia and it had great potential for a colorful and whimsy putter. Plenty of awesome shapes, colors, and toys. Instead, we got an orange bucket with bright green goop?? I was hoping for a sticky hand putter. Idk I feel like it had more potential and it was just kinda phoned in. Felt that way about most of the recent putters tho…

Network fault

A buddy and I play once a week and the last few weeks I have been running into a network fault when I try to connect to any online rooms. Ive already tried restarting the game, my headset, and connecting and reconnecting to the internet. The game is up to date and so is my quest 2. From what ive read there is a chance my router is blocking some servers, probably Russian, and that is causing the issue but I not only dont know how to fix that but also dont have access to my router settings as I live in an apartment.

Please advise

Edit: I just now noticed there was an update and new course last week. I will update and retry when I get home from work but this problem has been happening since the 5th

Can we get a Lord of the Rings course in the same style of Alice in Wonderland?

Would love a course that starts in the Shire at Bilbos 111 birthday and ends with the lost hole hitting the ball into Mount Doom. Each hole follows the story like the Alice in Wonderland course but it follows the ring and fellowship as they travel through Middle Earth on their quest to destroy the one ring.

Bugged Steam Achievements?

Love to see that achievements have been added to Steam! However I already had all hard courses unlocked and beaten par on all of them. I tried to go back and beat par on a normal course to get the Novice Status one but it didn't. I then beat a hard course with better than par and it didn't give me Semi-Pro Status either.

Is there a way to try and get these to work or is it a bug that will be patched at some point?

Quick question. Ive been playing this for nearly 3 yrs on quest 3. Purchased the Gloop Lair on the meta app like I always do but its unavailable on my headset. I mean, doesn't show up at all. Same for my wife's set. Do I just wait? Never seen this issue before

Other members of our group had zero issue

Gloop lair is scary.

Did anyone else get extremely scared/goosebumps when playing this map? Honestly some areas actually frightened me going Down those dark play areas AND CAN WE ALSO MENTION THE 3 CREEPY DOLLS that are hiding around the corner in the sewer like area even one of the heads was gone absolutely sh*t myself on some parts of this map lmao just got such an eerie feeling. But my god so much detail I had so much fun exploring all the interconnecting rooms and small hidden details!

(Random side note) but seeing how these maps are made on the mighty coconut YouTube got me into learning code I find it absolutely amazing how passionate these guys are that it’s made me want to be just as passionate towards making my own game these guys are incredible and I can’t wait to see what other maps they come out with! Love you mighty coconut! And thank you for inspiring me I can’t imagine how fun it is making these maps!) (and also how frustrating they must be)

Gloop Lair (easy) hole #17 - what's "supposed" to count?

The first time I played this course, it seemed like the goal of hole #17 was to hit the green part of the chair. But when I played it again just now, I hit the underside of the chair, and the game still counted it as a completed hole (and a hole-in-one, actually). Is that "supposed" to happen, or was it a glitch?

(This is a replay of my hit using the A button, after everyone'd moved on to the next hole, so it doesn't show it awarding me the hole)

PSVR2 Crashes Immediately on Start

UPDATE: I can successfully launch the game, but only after deleting my local save and launching the game offline. As soon as I connect my console to the internet, it crashes again. My best guess is that my profile on the Mighty Coconut side is corrupted since they maintain profiles? I can't even create a new account since that requires an online connection. Not sure if there's anything I can do or if I need the dev to try to fix.

Not sure if this is a known issue or just me. I haven't played for a few days but when trying to play today, the game crashes almost immediately after opening the game. I get the initial tooltip while loading, then crash.

I've tried restarting my console (playing on ps5), updating console, updating game, rebuilt database, cleared cache, uninstalling and reinstalling game (twice), and nothing. I even tried starting the game without my headset being plugged in to see if that was causing issues, but it still crashes when the screen tells me to plug in my headset.

I just purchased the whole in one DLC pack so I was looking forward to playing the new courses, but I can't find any way to get into the game. It is my first time playing since the new update so maybe it has to do with that?

I submitted a ticket with Might Coconut but haven't heard back. Not sure what their typical response time is. Anyone had this issue or know any more troubleshooting I could try? I feel like I've done everything short of a factory reset.

To everyone considering the new FormX putter. I highly reccommend this style instead.

I don't work for anyone and I am not posting a link - this doesn't benefit me at all. But I have tried quite a few of the styles and this is my favorite, hands down. Costs less than the FormX one too. My two cents.

What is your default ball/putter combination?

Everyone changes balls and uses different putters, but which do you find yourselves using the most?

As a reference, here's all the lost balls: https://walkabout-mini-golf.fandom.com/wiki/All_WMG_Balls

I personally default to the Alfheim putter with Mars Garden lost ball number 10. I like the fins on the putter as a way of determining the club orientation at a glance, and I like the Mars ball because it's vaguely metallic and looks kinda futuristic.

Audio bugs with gloop lair?

Hiya not entirely sure if it’s just me but the audio seems to be very low on gloop lair? I’ve tried on two different headsets (quest 2 and 3) and it seems to just be a lot quieter then other maps especially compared to the loud sounds of machinery just thought I’d ask and see if anyone else has experienced this but it did seem very quiet there’s also one other thing when I finished the map I’m not sure if anything was supposed to happen but the huge object just made a noise and then nothing happened idk if it was meant to explode or do something but yeah. Anyways sorry for this post I was just wondering is all other then that this map is absolutely incredible! (Also sorry for the way I’ve typed this out 😭)

The Odyssey

I know that the other Greek course exists.

I’ve been thinking about settings that would be perfect for Walkabout Mini Golf, and Homer’s Odyssey seems almost tailor-made for it.

The biggest reason is that it wouldn't have to be a course where Greek mythology is just happening in the background. The actual holes could incorporate the famous events from Odysseus’s journey.

Imagine progressing through the Odyssey over 18 holes, with each section taking you to another stop on the voyage.

For example, the Cyclops section could build toward a final hole where the actual goal is to golf your ball directly into Polyphemus’s giant eye. You could be putting through his cave for a few holes while this enormous Cyclops towers over the course, until eventually he becomes the hole.

And you could do things like that throughout the entire course:

  • On Aeolus’s island, timed gusts of wind could interfere with or help your shots.
  • With the Sirens, you could be putting across Odysseus’s ship while the Sirens surround you and their song gets louder as you progress. *The Sirens should be recordings of the other players to mess with you
  • Scylla and Charybdis could have you trying to putt through a narrow passage while avoiding Scylla on one side and a gigantic swirling whirlpool on the other. A bad shot could literally get sucked into Charybdis.
  • Circe’s island could use magical obstacles, transformations, or animals that interfere with the course.
  • The Lotus-Eaters could be this beautiful, surreal, dreamlike section where the environment becomes increasingly strange.
  • The Underworld could completely change the atmosphere midway through the course and have you golfing among the shades of the dead.
  • Calypso’s island could give you a gorgeous tropical section before the final stretch.
  • And the last holes could finally bring you to Ithaca, completing the journey home.

There could even be a hole involving Odysseus’s bow, or the hard-course foxhunt could have you collecting pieces of the bow before eventually assembling it.
