Links Champ SUX!

just upgraded to OSX 10.3.5... so much for updated Nvidia Open GL drivers. There is no difference in the pathetic performance of Links Championship at all.
still slow jerky play... still pauses when swinging so ball goes in the bush! I know with MSoft owning Links now that theres no chance of any new updaters
to Links for the Mac... so what can I do? ....sell the thing on ebay and never buy Links again....
One Word: TERRIBLE! - Version: 1.0.4, 8/31/2003 11:07AM PST
OS 9.2.2 Holdout
For the record, I'm on an iMac G3/400 w/ 512MB RAM + 9gig hard drive (2 gigs still free) which, according to the system requirements, should be plenty of machine to support this game.
Per tech support, after I installed, I updated to 1.0.4, turned on virtual memory, tried it in 800x600 in thousands of colors, turned off all of my unneccessary extensions, allocated 400MB+ of RAM to it, updated my ATI extensions, turned it down to bare-bones rendering w/ the smallest golfer animations, and even optimized my hard drive & re-installed -- and IT STILL SUX BIG TIME!
The responsiveness and rendering is slow, and I still continue to get those damn pixel artifacts. Bold's only suggestion is to restart the machine each time I want to play! Good Lord, what kind of tech support is that???
The ONLY upside I've seen so far is that it will convert Pebble Beach (for those of you that have a copy and couldn't get it to run in LS or 2000). Other than that, if I hadn't paid $40 for this little monster, I'd have already crushed the install disks under my car...
My advice: Unless you're hell-bent on playing Pebble Beach, save the $40 and stick with Links 2000 -- it's a VASTLY superior product.
