Homestar Runner Distraction Pack

Everybody! Everybody!

Welcome to the Homestar Runner Distraction Pack, aka the ultimate takeover of Walkabout Mini Golf by Strong Bad and friends, complete with designs and in-game character appearances by The Brothers Chaps! Experience the greatest turducken of unique cosmetics, never before seen mini-games, and some of the most iconic Homestar Runner locations/bits of all time. Grab some couch, get a whiff of the rubber handle on the putters that a thousand people have touched, and get distracted!

Course Release

  • 6 Activities to play through and conquer!

    • Tourist Crap Character Introduction

    • Bubs' Many Golfs

    • Dangeresque Foxhunt

    • Burnination Valley

    • Strong Bad Zone

    • Duck Pond Simulator

  • The ultimate hangout spot: Strong Bad’s Basement! This space includes throwable darts, a Stinko-Man Arcade Machine, Cheat mini-figures and more!

  • 18 collectable Lost Balls

  • 3 custom putters to earn

  • 30+ hidden animated scenes throughout the game

  • 6 unique avatars and a custom ball trail to channel your favorite characters

  • 3 hole celebrations (1 to start and 2 more to unlock)

This pack is truly unlike anything we have ever done, and thus includes a few things worth noting that are different than our standard course releases.

  • While there are many activities in this pack, not all of those activities are multiplayer. Bubs' Many Golfs, Tourist Crap and Dangeresque are all compatible with multiplayer, though!

  • Speaking of Bubs' Many Golfs, that does include 18 holes and lost balls! However, unlike other releases, there is no "Hard Mode" for this pack, so the putters will be earned elsewhere!

Known Issues and Fixes

Known Issues

  • We're continuing to investigate a spike in Quest crash reports, and are troubleshooting directly with Meta. We hope to have an update soon!

  • We've received an uptick in reports around custom calibration settings not maintaining between sessions, and/or players being unable to apply any calibration changes in SteamVR. We're looking into a fix for this in a future update.

  • The distant hill sheep animation isn't looping in Quixote Valley. We have a fix in a future update to get these sheep back to their idyllic grazing.

  • We are continuously developing fixes and improvements to both our overall systems and older courses, in-between creating new courses and Walkabout content. For any issues you encounter, we encourage you to review our Support Known Issues webpage for additional details there; please report the encountered bug(s) if you cannot find a solution in our FAQs. We thank everyone who plays Walkabout and hope to continue crafting a smooth, fun gameplay experience for all!

Fixes

  • We've reduced the activation time for triggering a hole celebration, so your chosen celebration will play almost instantly after scoring. Thanks to everyone who has tried out the new celebrations and provided feedback!

  • We've addressed reports from multiplayer rooms reporting spottiness with seeing and hearing the hole celebration trigger; these celebrations should fire off more timely (see above) and be consistently present.

  • We've repaired a prior bug where any player who left a Closest Putt round and returned could break scoring. This now functions as intended, with scores accurately tallied and maintained for anyone who leaves and rejoins a Closest Putt round.

  • Beforehand, any player who shot their ball OOB in a Closest Putt match could result in the winner's score being wildly inaccurate. Now, the math should be a little more reasonable looking for distance calculated.

  • We've repaired a bug in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland where the potion pools for both Easy and Hard would not restore if a player resets the match after playing all 18 holes of the round. Now, potion pools properly replenish and players can securely reset their Wonderland rounds.

  • We've restored the Meta button + trigger screenshot shortcut for Quest devices. This shortcut now functions appropriately and no longer triggers teleport to ball. Happy screenshotting!
