Hotfix v0.2.1 - July 3, 2026
Your ongoing feedback has reached the team and they've been hard at work! This hotfix addresses some issues for stability and performance for multiplayer and networking, UI updates and quality of life updates.
This is a rather beefy hotfix patch, but we wanted to start the Early Access period strong! More fixes are on the way after this, but for now please continue letting us know your feedback (and new things that might pop up) here on Steam or in our [Discord](https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscord.gg%2Fdiscgolfmasters) server!
If the update hasn't automatically started, we recommend that you completely shut down the Steam client and starting it again.
Let's see what's in the basket!
