Black hole power up deleted ball, De sync issues.

[Grizledorf]

Hello, fun game, here to report some issues. Thanks for reading.

I was playing online with friends, I had the black hole power up, it was my turn, I hit my ball and as I went by my friend's ball I used the power up. His ball was pulled into the black hole and then it was deleted and he was removed from the scoreboard but not removed from the lobby. We had to start over.

Playing online with friends, I am the host, moving obstacles on courses desync for my friends, the objects work as intended for the host, the clients get screwed over though they can't time their shots properly. we had a problem where they kept hitting their ball into water because on their screen they were seeing something completely different from me.

Game needs re-connect feature, as much as my friends and I enjoy the game we rarely finish 18 hole course because of disconnects and various bugs.

Hi,

The black hole power up does not remove players from the lobby, so I'm not sure how it could remove a player from the scoreboard. The black hole is just a hazard that will reset the balls that get sucked into it, similar to a water hazard. I will investigate to test if it is behaving correctly in online games.

Keeping moving objects in sync is unfortunately very difficult, but I will test to see if there is anything I can do to improve it.

Allowing for connecting mid-game is a huge can of worms to open from a technical standpoint. I no longer do any large feature development for MiniGolf Maker, so it's really too big of a task for me to take on at this point.
