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
My crashes always gave me the same errors as yourself
DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG ("The GPU will not respont to more commands").
GPU: "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti" , Driver: 53667
This is what i did to solve the crashes
I noticed that i had 2 games in EA App installed through steam on c drive. PGA TOUR and The sims 4 (granddaughters game)
1... uninstall both games through steam,uninstall EA App
2...install steam onto a different drive (in my case i changed from c to d
3... install EA App back onto c drive
4...insalled both games back through steam onto my d drive
5...Always play the game from steam library DO NOT run the game from desktop shortcut or the EA App
Not had any crashes since
Funny thing is, the sims 4 started crashing,even though it had never crashed before,,solved that by installing to another PC
No crashes on PGA TOUR in over 8 days
My conclusion is the EA APP is at fault, not your GFX Card or Drivers
Thanks a lot for your reply and suggestions @spillers10
I do have Steam on my C drive and most of my games installed on my D drive including PGA tour. I also usually start the game from the desktop shortcut, but will only use Steam library from now on.
If this doesn't help, I will uninstall Steam and put everything on my D drive, but it's a long operation so I rather not do it but will if nothing else helps.
I also have a feeling crashes are caused by the EA app, because this is the only game that causes crashes or problems.
Done some more testing today and i can now confirm what the problem is for me...
If i only have PGA Tour insalled in EA App then game works, no crashes in 3 hour session
Installed 2 more games in EA App, that gives me 3 in total
PGA Tour crashed 3 times in 10 minutes,had to give up
Good luck in your attempts
This is the first time i have ever come across this problem
Changed Resolution from 1920 x 1080 to 2560 x 1440
Then got black screen and crashed
here is Dxdiag

Hi @spillers10 Thanks for this!
Would it be possible to try to launch the game by putting your device in a Clean Boot or testing with a new Admin account?
Thanks!
Have fixed this issue myself. A very strange problem it is
If i have PGA Tour installed on it's own in EA App the game works
if i install another game in EA App then both games crash
Just to clarify i can only have 1 game installed at any time inside the EA App
Just another thing to add in to the 'fixes to try' for those PC users with nvidia gfx cards is to try a clean install of the graphics drivers, but use the studio drivers that are available in the same download area as the game ready drivers.
I found that the game was quite unstable at random when using the game ready drivers, even the most up to date variant. I switched out to the studio drivers, and haven't suffered any crashes since.
