screen flickers black pga tour
Just purchased EA Sports PGA tour from Steam and right from the start the screen flickers and gives me a 2-3 second black screen every 10 seconds or so. This goes on constantly and the game is unplay...

EA Staff (Retired)HI @gimmick2 To confirm can you try a separate cable or monitor to check if the same issue happens?
We can also try the following and check if this keeps up.
- Repair/Verify your game based on which client you are launching from
- EA App - Repair (My Collection > Tile Dots > Repair)
- EGS - Repair (Library > Tile dots > Manage > Verify)
- Steam - Verify in your library
- EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)
- Check for other applications that may be limiting EA App or Game performance
- Run the System File Checker tool then Check for Windows and GPU updates
- Check Drivers, Default to High-Performance GPU: Troubleshooting Graphics issues
Lets be honest here about these crashes
Have been playing game for last 4 days with no trouble what so ever
Today have not even got to the menu screen before it crashes the pc (at least 10 times)
Have tried all suggested fixes on these forums,but the game has been working fine,so i know it is not my system it is the game itself
This forum is full of people reporting crashes and all EA does is say try this try that.
Have yet to see if anyone has got a fix for the poblem
Thanks but the monitor cable has nothing to do with the problem because every other game works without problems and so does the computer on everything I do with it.
I think I just stumbled upon a solution; The HP Omen computer has a Omen Gaming hub, which installs with the machine and works on the background all the time. I disabled it and the black screen flickering was over.
However when playing the game it crashed, which seemed to be an graphics card bug of some sort. Never had any problem with any other game with my GeForce RTX 3060 Ti before, but I will explore the game settings more and see if some settings are set too high.
Have tried all the obvious settings in GFX panel all lowered to bare minimum but still crashes..
I have more demanding games on my rig that play without any problem
Conclusion is EA game sucks.....
At least i bought it half price on steam so no big hit in the pocket....
Last time i buy from EA...
Had my eye on f1@23 but after reading comments about that game crashing as well will not bother
UPDATE
Just tried again. The game crashed before i can get to settings to check if anyting has changed
UNINSTALLED
Lesson learned...
Back to Elden Ring on Maximum settings and no crashes.......
Goodbye EA
Just a note after few days of playing the game:
I reduced all the options in the settings that were potential graphics card problems, but the game still crashes many times every day. It's good however that the game is saved as is crashes, so one can continue after restart. The crash problem seems always to be the graphics card and mine gives a warning about graphics card memory, which my GeForce RTX Ti should have enough to run the game with decent settings.
Also I forgot to mention that I have Windows 11, if that helps in any way building patches and fixes.
But I have to say you have made a great game! It is very realistic even to the point of frustration 🙂
One thing that should immediately be fixed with the next update is to add a metric system. This would be very important, because all Europeans are used to measure everything in the metric system, so please put this as number one fix in your list.
Any advice or help for the constant crashes would be very much appreciated.

Hi @gimmick2 Thanks for the update, To check where you able to try the other troubleshooting steps I post above as well?
If so, would it be possible to get a DxDiag?
@spillers10 Thanks for taking a moment to share your experience with the Community, Going from PGA Tour to Elden Ring seems like a hardcore jump!
If your still interested in checking out the crashing issue to check could you try the steps above and if the problem persist share a dxdiag as well?
Thanks!
Thanks again for your answer!
I opened the EA App but there is no (or at least I could not find one) repair option anywhere?
Also regarding the EGS - Repair (Library > Tile dots > Manage > Verify), I don't know what this means and what is EGS? Can you please elaborate on both these?
I did however the verifying on the Steam app and this was the result: 1 files failed to validate and will be reacquired.
Will this repair happen automatically via Steam somehow, because there was no option or possibility to do anything after the scan was completed?
