The physics engine is garbage, progress not saving for every round

Question

So I've spent the last half an hour attempting to find a means to file a bug report, but it seems there is literally no way to do that beyond this forum. Absolutely * customer service.&nbsp;

So I've been playing pga tour for a few days now and have noticed a major fault in the physics engine in this game. Guide lines hit or miss indicate the travel path of the ball. Wind is erratic at best. For example 7mph wind from the right, account for the push and hit strait, ball flies into the wind and off the the fairway. Ignore the wind, it blows directly into the hazards. Spin and bend have virtually no rhyme or reason to when they work or not.

Additionally, if your game gets interrupted or you have to leave for the real world mid round, all experience earned up to that point is lost.&nbsp;

@demonslayer9113If you are talking about carrier mode you can save. Quit it offers to save round.

Hi&nbsp;@demonslayer9113&nbsp;

Thanks for letting the community know what you are running into!

For the physics issues you've run into, would you possible have a clip of the last time something happened.&nbsp;

Also to confirm for the lost progress, which modes are you playing when this happens? Do you leave your game running and come back to issues, or after relaunching the game?

No I do not have clips. I can stream a round on twitch for someone to watch if this game allows that. Otherwise I wouldn't know how to grab a clip as there is no rhyme or reason to when the physics engine works as expected or not.

I stream on my xbox one, so simply leaving the game running isn't an option. When the game times out or I have to leave mid round, the game does save hole progression. However, I'm only credited for completing the holes remaining from the save point. I'm playing career when this happens.

Hi @demonslayer9113, Thanks for the additional details, Happy to pass on the report of physics issues to the team!

For your progression not saving on the remaining holes, do you know if you get an error message at all when the game attemps to save at the end of each hole?

The game saves each hole. That is not the problem. The problem is the game only rewards experience at the end of a round, if that round was not played in a single sitting, you only get experience for the holes played in that round since returning to the game. For example, was playing a round while cooking: I played 11 holes before the game timed out and my cloud session expired. After dinner I booted the game up and finished the remaining 7 holes. When the round completed I was only credited for those final 7 holes. Instead of 19k+ experience, I recieved not quite 8k experience.&nbsp;
