Re: Links 2003 receives improved GPU compatibility

Pete posted a way to achieve fade and draw on RTS. It would be interesting to see how you are doing it so we can compare and contrast. I've just PMd Pete and his method is the same - playing a FLOP shot in click mode (in practice round), selecting a club, unchecking this shot only, changing the sta...

Re: Links 2003 and Links 2001 won't launch

The native resolution is 2560x1440. If I change it to 1920x1200 which matches the 15 I put in the registry for mode with scaling at 100% it still doesn't work. t flashes the black box and goes back to the desktop. I have the same monitor resolution but have set the in game resolution to mode 14 (19...

Re: Links 2003 receives improved GPU compatibility

Providing you can control your mouse hardware I've found settings of 800dpi and polling/report rate @125hz is the sweet spot for RTS (Elite skill level difficulty). I've noticed that resolutions higher than 1280 x 1024 makes RTS feel less intuitive, I wonder if this was the highest res the game was...

Re: Anti-aliasing successfully working on LS2003

I noted that this wrapper provides Mouse sensitivity settings. I have tried a couple of values and it indeed works, this may be helpful for this that find the mouse response either too sensitive or not sensitive enough. Des Yes this is my next port of call. RTS swing is too slow and feels insensiti...

Re: Anti-aliasing successfully working on LS2003

Are you running Links fullscreen? If so have you tested enabling/disabling 'Disable fullscreen optimizations' in its .exe. properties menu? Will do more extensive testing over the weekend BUT this evening I just fired up Links (via Links Launcher) in Win 11 and Bingo - first time loading :clapping:...

Re: Anti-aliasing successfully working on LS2003

I had a session online with Andy today but ultimately failed ALTHOUGH we were able to connect online via Direct Connection via Links (rather than through Gameranger) after I had spent 15 mins or so getting Links to load (same story as per previous posts since installing Windows 11). Had to abort the...

In 3 words provenance, documentation and availability :cheers1:

https://linkscorner.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=17540#p17540 This thread is from a few years back. A guy who went by "boot" was touting some patch that was developed by some guy that fixed everything! But it was top secret. Perhaps the same patch? :cheers1: I recall seeing this thread earli...

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

Just PM .... as I already posted. He can answer anything you wish to know. Patch is well known. It was on Discord for a couple of years before they took the server down. That's where I found out about Links Corner searching out old golf games. There is a big no public sharing thing around the patch...

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

Can I suggest all those who cannot run the game message .... who is a member here. I don't know if he is still active but worth a try. He released a patch on Discord which makes Links totally compatible on every system. I don't know of a single issue with the patch it works. You don't need to do an...
