Actually you won't loose your profiles and saved progress because that data is not uninstalled or written over when the new version is installed.

This new version makes some of the courses right at the end of the game a little bit easier and fixes a couple of layout bugs on Mystery Madness.

Is this only for the Windows version? I know there was a bug in the Mac version on Mystery Madness, so I would love to be able to upgrade also. Thanks.

I'll find out. This announcement is probably just for the PC Version 1.04.

Thanks! This is one of my favorite games and I would love to be able to make it to the end of the game - but the glitch in the Mystery Madness has foiled my attempt too many times. Just can't get past that one.

Is this for the downloadable version or the game community on here? I am a huge fan of Fairway and I am just waiting for more courses on the Full Version. What is this Mystery Madness level? I feel like I am missing something HELP!!

@Bettyb36: This forum is for the downloadable version.

@Felinda: I still don't have a reply about what the Mac version is yet. However, there is a workaround: I presume you are talking about when one of the cards on the right hand column of hole 4 is turned face up yet when you click it it says invalid. Well try clicking the very lowermost portion of the card which is not overlapping the card underneath. That works :-)

I am just wondering if you are coming out with more courses..I am keeping BFG active every month so that possibly I wll log in and find that there are additional courses or there is something like Fairway 2 coming out. I love your company and have been with you for over a year. I am just waiting for new courses or something comparable

Thanks

My stats show that I've played 223 courses, but some of those are more than once. I only have 5 courses left and can't get past Paradise Island.. Now I've played it about 20 times and hopefully your new version will fix this.. and I don't loose any of my rewards/trophies or stats.

correction: I have played Paradise Island since June every single day at least 10 times and still can't get past it. ??? suggestions? Makes me wonder now since I even downloaded the new version about Mystery Madness... I have have one course before I get there IF I can get through Paradise.... oh brother...

Hi Everyone,

We have a list of exactly what has been fixed in each subsequent version of the game:

Update V1.02 made the following courses easier:
- Cherry Lakes (Goal was Score -1, is now Score +5)
- Joe's Gas n Golf (Goal was Score - 1, is now Score +10)
- Mystery Madness (Goal was Tokens 25000, but is now Tokens 24500)

V1.03 was the localized version and contained no fixes.

V1.04 fixed issue on Mystery Madness Hole 4.

You can tell which version of the game you currently have installed by looking at flag on the logo on the title screen. If you would like to update to the newest version of the game, it's completely free.

Sure am glad I checked into this Thread today....I just downloaded the update and hopefully it will be my answer to getting past Joe's Gas N Golf....which I haven't been able to for such a long time...a +10 will be far easiler than a -1

Thanks

Smiles,
Gee

Easier? I don't think it's even possible to get past Joe's! I've been playing this course for a long time without any success. You need a full golf bag of clubs to even have a chance at getting anywhere, and you don't get many clubs at all with playing through once. You have to play through multiple times just to get some clubs. Then there is the one board layout where you click on a card and it has hidden cards underneath that! You don't even know how many cards there are but keep on clicking (if you can), and they keep showing up.

I would like to know if there's a way to get through this. Some people are playing the next course, so I guess they're making it through but I don't know how. I love the game but am very disappointed when I can't finish anything. The other courses seemed to have some skill involved but this one must take a miracle!

Hello! I downloaded the new version today. I've been having problems getting past the Peppertree course. The goal is to win $20,000 (including the purse of $14,835). I believe I've won it with earning $8387 + the purse??? If anyone can let me know if this is a glitch in the program or in my math, I'd appreciate it!

It is possible to beat the game and it's a little easier now than it was original, but some levels are HARD and require a combination of skill and luck plus most likely a full bag of clubs which you can build up by playing though an easier course.

The Peppertree cash issue may be a bug but it seems hard to duplicate. It is possible to beat that course so for now all I can suggest is trying again. Sorry.

Did the Mac version ever get updated? Thanx

I just checked. The Mac version is V1.03 which means it has the easier courses but not the fix to Mystery Madness hole 4. But there is a workaround for the card which gets stuck on the right hand side, simply click on the lower portion of it that doesn't overlap the underlying card.
