Just some more minor fixes, if you encounter any issues please reach out and let me know through the bug thread in the steam forums or via e-mail. 1.10.1 Changes:

• Fix issue where trees could spawn directly in front of where you were teeing off
• Fix grammar/typo in the bounce calculator shop item.

Now you can specify a seed when playing in free-play mode. So if you want to play the exact same course as someone else and compare scores outside of the daily challenges, you can now do so!

• Added a seed input field to the free-play menu.
• Fixed an issue where course buttons were not the correct size when not unlocked.
• Improved access to input fields for profile name (and the new seed entry) on Steam Deck with the steam key + trackpad mouse.
• Fixed issue where a settings dropdown would not correctly orient.
• Fixed issue where dropdowns would auto scroll when using a mouse.

Just some fixes for some issues that were reported. Thanks for letting me know!

• Fix issue where trees were spawning without making sure they were far enough away from the start of the hole.
• Fix issue where trees could not spawn on areas of the fairway that were cleared.
• Fix issue where pausing when going into a portal would cause the ball to lose a lot of it's momentum.

So I got a Steam Deck today and found some minor issues and improvements that I thought could need fixing.

• When using a controller you no longer have to navigate to the "Tee Off" button, you can just press A / button south directly when the challenges/practice rounds/tournament buttons are selected.
• Adjust the VFX for clouds, and wind in the sky level
• Adjust navigation of the tee off button when using the controller, or keyboard navigation to make it easier to navigate a courses screen.
• Update the arrows on some of the UI to match other arrows.
• Fix an issue where the analytics popup at the start was not correctly sized on smaller resolutions
• Fix some prefabs with animators not correctly culling
