Re: Links 2003: Nothing seems to help get it to run on my computer.

John_iv is running Links in Windowed mode so that is something that could certainly be tried. I can run it in both. Just alt-enter to bounce between them. An interesting quirk of the AMD drivers at least for my older tier card is that if I start in windowed mode I do *not* get anti-aliasing. I have...

Re: Links 2003: Nothing seems to help get it to run on my computer.

Is anyone using Adrenalin Edition 25.11.1 with Links 2003 on Windows 11 ? Yes, I use it w/ my Radeon 5600 XT on Win11 x64 w/out incident. I run Links2k3 on my 4K monitor using mode 15 in the registry. Here's my Links 2003 reg. key if you need it or want to import it. OS : Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (...

Re: The Virtues Golf Club

Really enjoyed your course today, Ian, thanks. I tend to wait for full releases to play, so this was my first look. I was really taken back to some of the earlier official course releases of Links; I think it's the wonderful green color palette you went with and the trees. Some wistful nostalgia, la...

PGA Tour 2K23 $8.99 on Steam

Just a PSA that PGA Tour 2K23 is on sale for $8.99 on Steam, probably as low as it's ever been. I took the plunge and bought it today; I usually wait till the competitors to Links get under fifteen bucks, laugh.

Re: Microsoft Update 24H2

Today's patch Tuesday seems to have cleared up my issue with an AMD Radeon dedicated card not being able to play fullscreen.

Re: Microsoft Update 24H2

You may also want to avail yourself of the Feedback Hub app in Windows 11. Choose to let it record an attempted Links 2003 launch and submit so they can diagnose it.

Re: Microsoft Update 24H2

Yes, I'm having to play in windowed mode only after the 24H2 update. This is the first time something like this has happened w/ a dedicated AMD Radeon card. Hopefully this gets sorted. For the AMD card if you launch in fullscreen it will blink and go black in a series and never allow you control of ...

Re: Microsoft Update 24H2

Have you tried windowed mode if you were previously playing full-screen? I'm seeing some weird stuff in fullscreen after 24h2 w/ a full Radeon card.

You can alter it in regedit:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Links 2003\DisplaySettings
windowed 1

Re: links 2003 how to use slope gauge

If the arrow is up, you're on an upslope and a neutral shot would be shorter. If arrow is down, you're on a downslope and you could hit it longer or skull it in real life, laugh. Left and right arrow determines whether you should aim the opposite way to compensate for the slope.
