Bridge Installation & Bay Setup
The RoundBoss Bridge connects your GSPro simulator PC to RoundBoss, enabling live scoring, kiosk check-in, automatic session management, and score finalization for your indoor golf league.
What the Bridge Does
The Bridge runs alongside GSPro on each simulator PC. It handles all communication between GSPro and RoundBoss automatically, including:
- Sending live scores to RoundBoss in real-time
- Automatically creating sessions for today's scheduled league weeks
- Serving the bay's check-in kiosk and launching GSPro on the league course
- Auto-finalizing completed rounds into official league results
Download
Open Course Dashboard from the manager menu, open your facility, and in the Sim Bay Bridges card click Add Bay, enter the bay number and click Download Installer (an existing bay has a re-download button). This downloads a .zip file containing the installer. The Bridge needs an active Golf Course plan; without one, use Become a Course Owner in the manager menu to set up your facility first.
Installation
Close GSPro before you install or update the Bridge. The in-game plugin lives inside GSPro's own folder, and Windows will not let anything replace those files while GSPro is running. If GSPro is open, setup installs the Bridge but skips the plugin — the bay then shows Online and healthy with no RoundBoss Check In button in GSPro. Setup warns you when this happens, and the bay list marks that bay "plugin not installed".
What Gets Installed
- RoundBossBridge Windows service — a compiled application that starts with the PC and talks to RoundBoss and GSPro.
- GSPro plugin (BepInEx) — a plugin inside GSPro's BepInEx folder that streams shots to the Bridge and shows the RoundBoss Check In button on GSPro's main menu.
- Kiosk — the touch check-in screens served by the Bridge (see Kiosk & Auto-Session).
Updates
- Bridge — bays update themselves. A Bridge on version 0.163.0 or newer checks for a new version every hour and installs it on its own while the bay is idle (GSPro closed), then restarts. The same installer updates the GSPro plugin too.
- Waiting on GSPro — a bay never closes GSPro on its own, so while GSPro is open it waits and the Sim Bay Bridges card shows update available on that bay. Click it to update now: this closes GSPro and restarts the bay within about a minute, so make sure nobody is playing on it.
- Older bays — a Bridge older than 0.163.0 can't update itself. Download the installer with the bay's re-download button in the Sim Bay Bridges card and run it once on that PC; it upgrades in place, and the bay updates itself from then on.
- GSPro plugin — if the bay list still shows “In-game plugin is out of date”, the installer skipped the plugin because GSPro was running. Close GSPro and re-run the Bridge installer on that PC from a fresh download.
What the bay list says about the plugin
| Bay list shows | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
plugin 1.10.0 (grey) | Installed and current | Nothing |
| plugin not installed (red) | The plugin files are not on that PC — almost always because GSPro was open during setup | Close GSPro completely, then re-run the Bridge installer on that PC |
plugin installed · waiting for GSPro | Files are in place but GSPro has not been opened since | Open GSPro on that PC once; the version then appears |
plugin … · update (amber) | Older plugin than the Bridge expects | Close GSPro, re-run the installer from a fresh download |
Windows Service
The Bridge runs as a Windows service that starts automatically when the PC boots and runs in the background.
| Task | How To |
|---|---|
| Restart the Bridge | Open Services (services.msc) → find RoundBossBridge → Restart |
| Check status | Services → RoundBossBridge should show "Running" |
| View logs | Open bridge.log in the Bridge install folder |
Keep the bay PC signed in to Windows
GSPro opens inside the Windows account that is signed in on the bay PC. If the PC restarts and stops at the Windows sign-in screen, the Bridge is online but GSPro cannot open for a round until someone signs in. The bay list then shows "Bay PC not signed in to Windows" next to that bay. That note is not an error, and a bay sitting at the sign-in screen is fine until you need it.
To have the bay ready after every restart, turn on automatic sign-in for the Windows account GSPro uses. If the bay list says "Signed in as a different Windows user", sign out and sign in with the account that GSPro was set up under.
Multi-Bay Rollout
Troubleshooting
Bridge service not starting? Open Windows Services and verify the RoundBossBridge service is present. Try restarting it manually.
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Bay shows "Offline" in dashboard | Verify the PC has internet access and the Bridge service is running in Services |
| Scores not streaming | Ensure GSPro is running on the simulator PC. Restart the Bridge service |
| No RoundBoss Check In button in GSPro | The GSPro plugin is missing or out of date — check the bay list for "plugin not installed". Close GSPro completely, re-run the Bridge installer, then start GSPro. Installing with GSPro open is what skips the plugin in the first place |
| Download Bridge is locked | Your account needs a facility with an active Golf Course plan. Set up your facility under Golf Course Mode |
| Edge SmartScreen warning on download | The installer is served as a ZIP to avoid this. If still seen, click "More info" then "Run anyway" |
