Optishot and TGC 2019

[hpdrifter]

I would like to know the inner workings of running TGC on computer.
Does it require constant internet connection or do you download the program and run it stand alone?
I realize to play against other online it requires the net. But my internet connection just rules that out.
Does it really require Windows 10 and the graphics card they say. Radeon 57XX.

Heck, I'm stll having trouble downloading all of Optishot for now.

If the Radeon is an RX 57xx that should be fine. If it's one of the old AMD, it will be problematic. You download Tgc2019 from Steam.com after purchasing it from their website. It is a GB download, so yes it is a big one. Good luck.

Thanks for the info.

Is the download a standalone after the download, for local play? Or MUST you go thru the internet to play?

[hpdrifter]

anybody?? can you use TGC(the game) with Optishot standalone? Or do you HAVE to play "online".

The reason to ask this is because of poor internet service. I live in the Bermuda triangle of internet service.
Copper line telephone, 3-5 miles away from a couple of ISPs with trees so they won't even talk about providing service.
I'm using a broadcast(att) cell phone connection. I can generally get all I need for browsing and OBTAINING files and .
Just can't depend on steady service and they frown on continued use.

So, playing ONLINE is 99% eliminated.

I've got one ISP that said they check on it, but it's been a while and nothing.

First, there is no official support for Optishot with the TGC. Once everything is set up you can run the Optishot software offline. I ran it offline last night, though I had previously made an account and signed in on that computer, so you'll probably need internet for initial setup of the Optishot Software. I've also run TGC offline, you obviously lose online functionality, which includes browsing custom courses, but the game will work offline.

Ok, thanks. Yes, I have the Optishot loaded and functioning. I've been playing some courses.
I was just curious if TGC would run offline as well.
Now that I know that, I can start planning for that.

I only had to build a building(other uses included), upgrade my router to the latest with sim capabilities, install a cell phone booster, and purchase the Optishot. All about $1000, not including the buildings.

I'm about out of "play" money for now, so that'll be on down the road. Probably have to upgrade my video card if not my computer also.

Thanks again. I wasted hours upon hours searching for that answer. I realize you need the net to acquire it, but I can't "play online". At least not all the time.
