[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Strike : the service couldn't clip the net anymore, except on slice serves
- World Tour : with the previous update, it was not possible to load the Women's Tour
- Menu : with the previous update, showing the in-game help at the start of the match and clicking on "ok" with the mouse was coming back to the Main menu

[p]Here's a little update with 2 important fixes and some tuning, I hope you'll like it ! 🙂[/p]

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Outfit : added 1 male haircut created by Will

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Strike : slice lowers more the precision of the next opponent's strike, closer to Build 141 and before (Build 142 lowered it too much by mistake)
- Animation : changed the way the animations are loaded to save a bit of memory on consoles (Modded animation loading is unchanged)

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- World Tour : having very old saved games could prevent loading recent ones in Word Tour -> Load Game
- World Tour : generated doubles specialists could get a playing style not compatible with doubles, making them too strong in singles
- Animation : the player's wrong back rotation was still occurring
- Commentary : fixed the triggering conditions for a couple of lines
- AI : your doubles partner could end up wrongly positioned if he thought he could catch the ball, but then let you play it

[p]Hello,

I just fixed the Steam Cloud for macOS. So if you're on macOS, Steam should ask you if you want to use the Cloud save files or to keep your local files : choose to keep the local files, or else you're going to lose all your saved games.

[h2]before you launch the game, it's strongly recommended to back up your saved games ![/h2]

In case this choice isn't displayed, before you launch the game, it's strongly recommended to back up this folder : ~/Library/Application Support/Mana Games/Tennis Elbow 4/Profiles . So if everything is deleted, you'll just have to reinstall your Mods, reselect your profile if you have created one and restore that folder.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[h2]If you have lost your files[/h2]

Check with Time Machine if you have activated it ; maybe they are there, although it's really uncertain.

The folder you'd need to restore is the same as above : ~/Library/Application Support/Mana Games/Tennis Elbow 4/Profiles .

[p][h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Strike : since last Build, strikes prepared very early had their spin enhanced, leading to weird result or fault, especially for the slice and the drop shot[/p]

[p]Here we go with an important update, fixing and tuning a bunch of noticeable things for the gameplay and the World Tour.[/p][p][/p][p]I hope you'll enjoy it ! 🙂[/p][p] [/p][h2]New Features :[/h2][p]- Controls : added vibrations on the service

[/p][h2]Changes :[/h2][p]- Strike : lowered the physical imprecision on the spin, greatly lowering the chance for the ball to end outside of the Aiming Zone (this affects especially the Accelerations and strikes done with low precision)
- Strike : raised the minimum service speed for men by 5km/h (so at 50% power, the average service speed is raised by 2.5km/h)
- AI : tuned the return position of the women
- World Tour : greatly optimized the size of the ranking database, saving ~500MB of RAM for a career of 15 years ; this should prevent the game, when Modded, from crashing on consoles after playing for a few years in the World Tour

[/p][h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2][p]- Strike : the slice (and possibly some other strikes in some special situations) could be way too slow
- Animation : since the last Build, the players were rotating back in the wrong direction after having rotated through their back
- Gameplay : in some situations, the net jump wasn't triggering for the human player (usually when standing near the service line)
- AI : fixed a couple of glitches in the CPU when his doubles partner is human
- AI : when playing doubles, the CPU could get stuck in no man's land (ie: between the baseline and the service line)
- Recordings : the match replay could desync for Junior matches
- World Tour : too many players were regenerated in the fictional years (eg: in 2025 and after, in the unmodded game)
- World Tour : regenerated players' best ranking distribution wasn't respecting existing singles & doubles specialist distribution (ie: could end with too many or too few top players in singles or doubles)[/p][p][/p][p]ManuTOO[/p][p]=== Mana Games ===[/p]
