Download Problem

[pace74]

I purchased PGA Tour 2K23 from Steam a few months ago. When I try to play the game, it appears to be loading fine at the start. It loads up to the Swing Input screen fine. I then select "3 Click" button and it continues for a couple minutes and then I get an "PGATOUR 2K23.EXE has stopped working" message. Can anyone help me with this issue? Thanks.

Do you get anything in Event Viewer? What are your specs?

I don't have to select a Swing Type when I load my game. My golfer is set to 3 click & once that's done you shouldn't have to select anything to load to the Main Menu.

Are you loading from the desktop Icon or from the Library ?

I am loading from desktop icon. The game seems to be loading fine until after I have selected my swing input. I get a screen showing Tiger and 2K23 on a picture of a green with a flag toggle description on it. after a few minutes of trying to load further, I get the "PGA Tour 2K23.exe has stopped working notice. I see nothing called "event viewer". My setup is Windows 8.1, 64 bit, 8GB RAM. Toshiba laptop

1st: As a Programmer/PC Tech, I find Steam + Win 11 can cause issues. I recommend do not run game from Library, ( it runs in windowed mode) - Run from Icon on Desktop.

Also: i can't be sure this is your issue, but this has worked for most that I recommended to do.

My new PC has an i5 8 core & MSI RTX4060 @ 8G. Win 11 ... - Windows 10 or 11 may be the cause.

Try this: Go to your Control Panel & Power Options, change the Basic Balance to Ultimate ( for Gaming ) if you have Norton Security, do the same in it.

In the game, hit the M key, go your Graphics & turn OFF the Depth of Field & Bloom & Vsync. also scroll down to Advanced settings & lower grass, cloud, trees, shadows, water. It doesn,t matter how high end your Processor & Video card is. This Game sucks resources. It will make your Video Card run hotter than most other games.

2nd also: My Logitech Driving Force GT Steering Wheel wouldn't load the Drivers from Logitech for it, as Windows Security was blocking it from installing the Drivers.
So I suggest to Turn off Windows 11 Device Security.

In the Device Security is "Core Isolation" - Open it & turn it OFF. ( all this does is is protect you from possible Drivers & such from being installed if Microsoft doesn't recognize it as safe ).

Your game is safe so you can do this & see if that works. ( I have not turned mine back on since Jan. 2024 & no issues from it ).
