[0.17.8.0] Can tripple bogey hole in mini golf if other player is AFK and there are only 2 players,

I was playing Mini Golf garden, Another player joined, but then went AFK and timed out. At the next hole they were still AFK and suddenly so was I. I had no chance to try and take a shot as this was instantly. I then received a triple bogey and the game moved to the next hole.

I do not think this was a sync issue as I was the host.

Steps to Reproduce

Start a mini golf game in garden with one player. Have another player join the game, play the 1st and second holes but then go AFK on the 3rd. The bug occured at the start of the 4th hole - see pic, neither player has moved from tee.

What I expected to happen

The normal behavior. Basically be able to take a shot without an instant timeout.

What happened

Never seen this before, v odd. Looks like the AFK timer bugged out as I was unable to do anything and the game just gave an instant triple bogey.


Picture of resulting score, sorry was not quick enough to screen grab the triple bogey award.

OK an addition to this.

There is a problem with the hurry up timer in general. On Playing Apline, hole 7. I had the hurry up timer on my second stroke, despite having hit the 1st stroke at the same time as all the other players and just failed to make the jump. The ball had only just come to rest after the 1st stroke!

Really the hurry up should only start some time after the ball has come to rest, say 10 seconds or more and not instantly after the ball has stopped moving.

A bit late to the draw here, but the “HURRY UP!” timer usually appears when you are the last player that has not finished the hole.

As for being considered AFK the moment someone else joins, that one is a bit odd and is definitely worth reporting.
