Does anyone have problem with launching this game

[ocky2k]

Yes I do

[ocky2k]

My game does not launch

What are your specs?

[ocky2k]

Spec? What do you mean actually

[ocky2k]

You mean system requirements

Processor: AMD A8-7410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics 2.20 GHz
Installed RAM: 8.00 GB (6.93 GB usable)
System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

My PGA Tour 2K21 works fine but I cannot get PGA Tour 2K23 to launch

[ocky2k]

The last screen before launch it freezes and states Windows has stopped working. Not sure what the problem is with getting 2K23 to completely launch

[ocky2k]

On the last screen prior to launch it freezes and states:

PGA Tour 2K23.exe has stopped working

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available. Then it goes back to the Green Play button on the home screen of the steam library.

Your processor is below the minimum spec but as that hasn't changed between the two games I don't think that's the main reason.
Instead, the increase in graphic card spec between PGA 2K21 and 2K23 might be the reason.

Here's the comparison with the 2K21 minimum, it's apparently much weaker to the point I'm surprised you were able to run it.

And here's the comparison with the 2K23 minimum.

So are there any solutions. I am not really a techie person. I am not really sure what to do. Thanks!

I have no problems with 2K21. I purchased 2K23 for like only $16.50 so I did not spend a lot of money on it. I am guessing that I should not invest in 2K25 with the current desktop computer system that I have.

My new PC I bought Jan. 2024, has an ---- i5 8 core & MSI RTX4060 @ 8G. --- 16gig RAM, Win 11
They built it ( on sale ) for $1100.00 --- was $2300.
( It was my 3rd CYBERPOWER PC since 2008. )

When you buy from them & your Hardware Warranty runs out, You still get Tech. Support on what to do next ( if that's the case ).

I don't recommend You Bye 2K25 until you get a better PC.

Hope this helps some on your Decission.

It's not that serious. I am not going to buy a new PC for a PGA 2K Golf game. My PC works fine and serves me for everything else I need. My PC is relatively new....with the way technology works, all PCs gets old relatively quick.

Thanks!
