Hey,

Sorry for your troubles, haven't seen that issue before. Have you tried playing the game with one of the other launch options directx10 or opengl?

Take care,

Jonas

Thanks for your fast reply
with opengl and directx 10 everytime i take a shot the game will freeze for 10 seconeds just after i hit the ball my friends say my ball starts jumping all over the place at that point
i can play like that for 5-10 minets then the ball will just fall though the map and if i reset the ball it falls though again

Just some thoughts: It can happen, that a game (in fullscreen) crashes and gives you a black screen and locks up your controlls. This doesn't mean, your computer is locked. In most cases I experienced, the game itself went black and is still on top of everything else. Due to the crash, there opened another window with an information that the game crashed. You can only close that window by pressing the OK-button on it. The game itself won't close, until you close the crash-info-window. But this window is hidden under the black game-window. So both windows block each other and the rest of the computer.
You can solve this by Alt-Tabbing to the crash-info-window and hitting Esc or Enter. As you can not see which window is active, because it is behind the black game window, you just have to try and error.
That means. try pressing Alt+Tab and then Esc, then Alt+Tab again and Esc and so on until the black game window closes itself.

From my experiences a PC completely freezing is often due to high load and system overheating. (Had this problem in my tiny case often and also in a lot of other games). In Golf it it is probably because the game is still alpha and not perfectly optimized (seeing 100% GPU load everytime in game on my r9 290x). I solved it by underclocking my card with afterburner while playing the game.
