I am lucky if I can get through one hole on PC. I have a top tier gaming rig that was built this year. No errors or anything, just crashes instantly while playing.
I have read other posts and suggestions and tried windows, turning off vsync, turning off antialiasing, etc.
I cannot even use the refund request page on the EA site because it doesn't appear to actually work.
Ever since the update that was released on PC yesterday (06 April, 2023) the game crashes every couple of holes. Game is unplayable in its current state.
Game crashes to desktop every time I start a single player stroke game. Usually after 3 or 4 holes. My PC specs are. Ryzen 5 3600, 32 gigs. of 3600 ram. GTX 1070 ti. Game is on SSD Drive. System (windows 10) is on Disk drive. Other games work fine in this config. Game runs fine at 2560 x 1600, high settings. Until it just crashes. Every Time!
try using window mode instead of fullscreen, and also Disable Advanced Hair under options > Visuals (Its all the way at the bottom of the visual settings) see if that works. my game was crashing to desktop literally every hole since monday untill i read about this fix. and it has seemed to work for me, iv had 0 crashes since the change and have 15+ hrs now in game with zero crashes since changing to window mode and disabling the advanced hair. (and tbh, check ur ram usuage while playing in game, cuz if its maxing, iv heard your like 99% chance to crash if ur ram or gpu usage even remotely exceeds its limit. as in, make sure ur stuff isn't running maxxed out. or when it gets any "hic-cup" itll crash.
- Thanks!

Game keeps crashing.... I cannot complete 2 holes online with friends without having this game crash. I have played for 3 days now and this game has crashed on me over 20 times. Get this fixed EA come on!!! Why pay of this game if i can't actually play it!
same problem. have all the PC requirements. Other friend doesnt have a problem which is weird?
and they have no staff, or no one to talk to? just a messaging board? what is this
try playing in window mode. and also disable advanced hair under the visual settings (its all the way towards the bottum). It has fixed my issue and i was crashing 100% every hole since monday untill i made only those two changes. (Also iv heard because the game is poorly optimized, if your maxing out your PC playing the game, as in your ram or GPU is running near 100%, one hic-cup will make you crash.)
Hey Kapill89,
My computer was crashing as well. As I mentioned in a previous post, I dropped the FPS to 30 from 60, and it seemed to give me another hole or two before it crashed. I did however take your advice, and disabled the advanced hair. Left it at full screen though and make it almost through 18 holes before it crashed. So I then switched it to windowed mode, but still left the hair disabled and the frames at 30. Hasn't crashed again since, but I only played another 4 holes before I quit. So we will see how this works this morning. Maybe this will be the fix. With the computer I have though, I shouldn't have to play with the settings, to get the friggin game to work. There seems to be a lot of issues with this game. Hopefully, they get some patches out soon to fix this stuff, as this game has so much potential, to be the best golf game ever, if they put the work into it.
Let me know if you are still able to play with the changes you have made.
Thanks, Glenn
Constant crashing getting worse all the time. Crashing on loading screens, crashing mid-shot on my shot, crashing mid-shot on cpu players shot.
Tried several visual setting tweaks turning things down, I shouldn't have to given my system specs. Nothing has worked.
My system specs:
Windows 11 Home 64-bit
12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900KS (24 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
32768MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti VRAM 24327MB
Display Mode: 3840 x 2160 (32 bit) (144Hz)
Have applied for a refund through Steam. My many years experience playing games on pc (and consoles) has told me that when this stuff is happening on launch don't go down the rabbit hole of checking your pc, your internet connection or the weather outside. If support ask you to post a photo of the length of the grass in your garden, don't do it. Constant crashing only on this game while all others work fine means there is no problem with your pc, you've been sold a product that is not working as it should be when you purchased it.

Hi @HanSoloCup96 Thanks for letting us know about your experience with PGA.
Would it be possible to get the following information and we can take a further look?
Platform:
PSN ID/Xbox GT:
Region:
Are you getting an error message?
Date this issue started (is it still happening?)?
Is anything else happening?
Please share any steps you've tried to far to resolve the issue:
If possible, share a Screenshot or Clip...
If on PC, please share a DxDiag
Cheers!
Same thing is happening for me. The game played fine until this afternoon. Crashes every couple of holes now. Even crashed once in the menus. I set the FPS down to 30 as well. That seemed to make it last longer before it crashed. I think I might have gotten 3 holes in. And I have a fast processor and a 3060 vid card. They better get a patch out for this. I dropped a $126.00 for this game.
