Yes, CS were as prompt and helpful as ever, but solved nothing. Suggested all the usual things - deleting shadows/vibrations, ensuring good WiFi, closing other apps, delete and reinstall the game etc etc. None of this has helped.
They’ve tweaked the meter difficulty without any doubt whatsoever. I’m not the best player by any means but have gone from dinging perhaps 6-7/10 drives on a good day to ONE in total in half a dozen 9h cc games this afternoon! Logged my dings in x2 rounds earlier (18h total) and hit 10 in total inc all tap-ins inside a couple of feet 😒
Where it is most acute/obvious is with putting. Previously it was virtually impossible not to ding say a 3’ putt with the 30/60’ scale, now I’m missing pretty much every single time. Only by the tiniest fraction but we all know what that can mean on 13-14 speed greens especially!....
Posted earlier on my CC’s proboard and other mobile players are saying same, especially one also playing on the 2017 iPad.
As you say, it is possible to adjust (indeed my scoring’s still been OK this afternoon, most 9h’s around the 30/31 mark) but things have undoubtedly changed.
The big misding to the right is the real killer and has cost me a few balls last couple days. Beforehand I could go days if not weeks without losing a ball, and then it would nearly always be down to poor course management over anything else.
Again, to reiterate, the meter itself is running as smooth as ever, no problems whatsoever. It’s become exponentially more difficult to ding tho ever since this latest downtime.
Keen to hear if others are feeling the same, as much as anything to prove I’m not going mad! 😳
