Anyone who plays Links 2004 Live would have noticed an auto update was required on Monday before you were able to play the game.

Unfortunately, the auto update contained a few bugs.

Here’s a quote from the Links 2004 developers.

”With the help of the community we have identified two problems with the auto-update that released on Monday. We apologize these are in the code and scrambling now to fix the issues.

Issue 1: XSN Sports data is not always posting. We *think* (we’re running through a lot of testing on this scenario now) that if you play back to back stroke rounds some of those rounds overwrite each other.

For example, Player – A is in a 4 round stroke tournament. He plays Rounds 1, 2, and 3 back to back in 30 mins. The XSN website picks up Player A’s scores, and puts round 1 into Round 2’s spot, or it can put Round 3 into Round 2’s spot.

WORK AROUND: All our testing so far shows if you play a round, wait until it posts to the website, you can then play the next round just fine. As long as you wait until it posts to the website before playing your next round everything seems okay.

Issue 2: Viewing a saved shot from before the update will cause your profile to get hit by the roll-back check from the auto-update.

WORK AROUND: Don’t view saved shots.

For both of these issues we are continuing to validate and work on addressing the problems. The last thing anyone on my team wanted was issues created by the auto-update. We have unfortunately gotten to this position and all I can ask is patience while we try to work through the issues.

I give you my word we’ll get this straightened out. This is now our #1 priority and this seems to be squarely on my team’s shoulder’s not XSN’s side. I will find someway to try to make up for this pain down the road.”
