Hi, on the St. Andrews course just where the computer player is about to drive over that building, I think hole 17?, he just gets stuck thinking and does not continue playing. I have noticed this on some other courses. Is there some magic button to press to make him play on? My only option is to task manager (windows 10) and hard end the program.

Thank you,

Calvin De Beverly

Calvin I see that every once in awhile, most times if you leave the game and come back they will swing. On rare occasions I tried several times and I had to drop the player to continue the round.

I designed a course where they almost always get stuck on the second shot of the same par 5. It's reachable in 2, and haven't been able to fix it (tried changing the shot point location). Very frustrating. Though I still like using them, the computer players have always had many problems. I think they were a work in progress when they stopped working on the game. <_<

This has been an ongoing problem with introducing computer players into a round of golf since this sim was released. In my case, it happens during most rounds played and it does not matter which course you are playing. Both the PG pay to play courses as well as the community courses are affected by this. In my case the Computer Player freezes up frequently if he has a putt inside 2 feet.  Allowing the maimum amount of gimmies reduces this problem to a certain extent. However, by using the gimmie feature the Computer Opponant will be awarded putts that are even over 8 feet. In the mean time, you will be required to putt everything in the hole. This is frustrating as hell, and I have totally abandoned the idea of using them in gameplay.  Just one of many bogus bugs that was never addressed.

Computer players have always been buggy since day 1. Since this game is now considered "AbandonWare" don't hold your breath of it ever getting fixed!

THOUGHT: Most plan for their Vacation - but most do not plan for their Eternity!

I had no idea this was such an issue.

I set the gimmie distance to 1 foot and it seems to do the trick. Mind you I don't like it. When I do this it does give 1 ft gimmies to me too, but I'm on amateur. And, of course, there's still the problem of them freezing on other "tricky" shots.
