VI. Known Issues

- If you own a GeForce video card and are experiencing discolorations and flashing issues in the water reflection, download and install the latest video drivers for your video card. Upgrading your drivers will also provide you with a significant performance increase.
- Be careful when using anti-aliasing effects for your specific video card. Some video cards will encounter serious performance issues with these settings turned on.
- This product does not support Online play in Software Rendering mode. A supported 3D Hardware accelerated card is required.
- Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2004 does not support custom golfer names of more than 17 characters.
- In the skills events (Putting Contest, Chipping Contest), if you hole out you aren't allowed to take your next 2 shots. If any one of your opponents hole out, you will get a tie and will both get the victory.
- If you are in the LAN Lobby and choose Help, you will have to exit to the Main Menu after leaving help to return to the LAN lobby.
- In Software Rendering, sometimes the buttons will remain orange following selection.
- Dynamic cameras and camera controls are unavailable in Software Rendering Mode.
- Changing to 32-bit color will remove banding in the skies at a cost of mild performance.
- If your PC will run in 3D Hardware mode and you choose to run in Software Rendering mode, then return to 3D Hardware mode, you will have to reset your camera options.
- Don't swing too fast when using TrueSwing(tm), some mice can't handle it.
- Certain older sound cards and embedded audio systems may experience skipping or looping audio. This problem may be fixed by turning down hardware acceleration from the Control Panel.
- If the game defaults your system to fixed cameras, switching to auto cameras or flying the cameras around manually will cause low frame rate.
