Sidebar apparently sent the patch to Nintendo 10 days ago. Really hoping it's made available to users soon, so my broken save can be made whole again.

What happened to your save? There might be a solution to unbreak it. I managed to unbreak mine. Sucks that it even happens though.

 

[Ninman]

Just finished it, great game, one of the best in writing in recent memory, had a lot of laughs (DAT rap battle).

If you save and quit during the party in the Tidy Park area, your character becomes very small when you resume the game. You can't interact with anything or leave the area, thus completely breaking the game. You can't exit to the world map either, which would probably fix the issue.

Here's a video of the bug

 

[duckroll]

OUCH. So glad I got past that without running into the bug. Yikes.

Yeah, it really bummed me out. Apparently the upcoming patch fixes the bug and repairs any save file with the issue currently, which is good.

Oh, I'm playing Picross S! It's great.

Note to self: don't get to Tidy Park before the patch comes out.

Alternative idea: Once you get to Tidy Park you don't stop playing until it's done.

Not even this is necessary. The section in question isn’t at the start of the course and isn’t that long; maybe like 30 minutes? Just make sure you have time to spare while playing so you can get through it when you start that bit.

 

[gingerbeardman]

Or just put your console to sleep rather than saving If you need to take a break during Tidy Park

Hmm, I played through that whole chapter last night, but can't remember if I saved in the building. Guess I'll find out tonight!

 

[ryushe]

Man, the match against

Spoiler

Lucky

is incredibly frustrating.

I hit two hole-in-ones for my first two holes then the next 3 of my shots bounce out of bounds.. Really wish there was a restart the match option.

 

[dLMN8R]

Ok, how am I supposed to complete that one putting challenge at the very top of Tidy Park? I hold left-trigger to extend my putting range, and then I max out the strength meter for every single one of my 6 putts, and stay on the fairway as much as possible, but every time the closest I can get is a couple meters from the hole.

Is there some trick I'm missing? The other similar putting challenge later in the game was so much easier!

That's what I did and it worked . . . after several annoying attempts.

What are the chances of a physical release of this?

0.1%

Just make sure you also have the option to exit to the world map before you save and quit. If not, keep playing until you do.

 

[Poppyseed]

Finished this last night. Loved it, loved it. But there are SO many bugs it's just insane. Really needs a clean-up patch.

 

[Cerium]

It's a massive hit so something might happen eventually.

I'd struggle to fill one hand counting the bugs that I encountered.

 

[WeirdoStalkerJr]

Still gotta play this game. What is the hours till completion on a first playthrough like?

 

[BizzyBum]

Around 15-20 hours.

I think I did everything you could in the game and I finished at around 20 myself.

See the FAQ in the OP

 

[Imp the Dimp]

I got to the last area now. I actually wish the game was a tad shorter. 14:30h so far and I guess I won't be done for at least another 2.

 

[WeirdoStalkerJr]

Super awesome, gonna take me awhile to finish. But buying right now! Thanks!

Good for you? Doesn't change the fact that the game is a bugfest and the developers have acknowledged it and are working to address this.

What's the best way to grind levels?

At a point where it takes about 7 rounds at wellworn to level up

You shouldn't ever need to grind. Just do all the sidequests and you'll end the game around Level 35 which is more than enough to dominate the final tournament.

 

[gingerbeardman]

My point was that the experience and number of bugs encountered varies from person to person.

Does the fact that some people don't run into bugs mean that they don't need to patch the game?

 

[gingerbeardman]

Of course not.

Discussion about running and not running into bugs should be equally valid topics in a thread where somebody might be trying to decide whether to play this game.

I've seen people avoiding buying or playing the game because they're scared by the bug discussion. I'm just trying to counterbalance this with my positive experience.

That's not really how I think it works. When people buy software they expect it to work. Someone having a less buggy experience is not some extra positive perk, it's stuff working as it is expected to. If people are scared of bugs, they should absolutely be avoiding this game until it is patched. When some people play through the game without running into them and some people run into tons of them, it means the software is not stable. Something working as expected should not be a gamble.

You shouldn’t ever have to play rounds more than once (or however many tries it takes to beat). The side quests give plenty of experience.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

I didn't even know you could replay courses for XP lol. Don't grind, dawg.

 

[BizzyBum]

The only reason to grind is if you're OCD and need to achieve max level which I have no idea what that is.

 

[tebunker]

Hey yall don't forget to Reset your switch after beating all the courses. It opens a new Era of working together positively.

 

[DogDude]

How do you beat the first drone mission? I don't even know what the instructions are. Theres a red circle and a gold hole.

Agreed. I have had the game freeze on me at least 3 times

 

[Zelmardonpoktendo]

I haven't got this yet because I cant stop playing stardew valley, do I need to switch?

 

[gingerbeardman]

Agreed. I have had the game freeze on me at least 3 times

Really freeze or just character unable to move?

 

[DogDude]

Is galf just purposely impossible? First round I got +36. Is there any point to do well? I've beaten everything else in the game.

 

[Unai]

Uh, how do I play Galf? I'm stuck. The only thing I can do is open the manual or stretch the screen.

Edit: It seems it was a bug. I closed the game and opened again and it worked. Good thing it auto saves.

 

[Wood Man]

Tried the final tournament and I just barely lost. Getting used to the high winds and slopes is a challenge. And these holes are long. I mean that last hole is a par 6. Damn

I suck at putting, but I'm pretty darn good with my chip ins. In fact I'd rather get in a bunker close to the hole over taking a medium length putt.

But I'm loving this game. I'm about 21 hours, Level 35, no grinding. I only replayed one course.

 

[Peléo]

Is there a way to remove the flag from balls outside the green?

 

[Dundar]

Still no patch? Waiting for that to bite.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Was breezing through this game no problem. I am ready to smash my Switch into pieces at this final course, though. I know I should just take a break, and that when I came back to it I'd get it done no problem. Instead I'm sitting here getting pissed trying over and over again.

See FAQ in OP. You can quit GALF during a round, by pressing + to open the pause menu, but not from its menu screen.
