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...
Forum Discussion
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.

EA Staff (Retired)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?

HI @gimmick2 Thanks for the update!
First EGS stands for Epic Games Client. Since you don't own it there, we don't have to worry about that bit.
WIth the failed file, Steam should have attempted to download it right after it finished verifying. Did you see anything in the Maange Downloads section of steam?
Thank you for your reply!
In Steam Download section (which I just checked after your reply) I can see that Steam has downloaded a 758.5 KB file a few days ago, so that part seems to be in order and fixed.
I'm still getting daily crashes though, but I tried to reduce more settings today to medium and turn some off totally.
I will keep you posted if it helps and if there is anything I could send you to better understand the problem, please let me know.
This game been binned now
Spent enough time trying to fix the freezes and crashes,so won't bother with a DxDiag..
Not like it is a new problem..seems to have been happening since game was released according to threads on here and steam
