If your game play in TW08 is slow.. try this step-by-step fix..........ok follow these steps...1 in my documents find and open Tw08 folder..next ..2 open caeers folder... 3 open players folder and dbl click your player folder...4 find the confidence folder and open it...you will see hole type and shot type icons ,5 delete both...( just min your document folder because you will need it again)...6 now start TW 08 game ,7 play 1 shot in custom mode from a stock course and as soon as you hit ,,exit game...( now bring up my document folder and open confidence folder and u will see hole type and shot type in there)...8 now right click the icon and go to properties make sure the read only box is checked for both the hole type and shot type, close documents and now the transition in your game will be a lot faster. |

Exit = one of the many commands from the Menu button, lower left side
... and it shouldnt need saying, but you need to do the confidence folder fix for every player you use |

alt key will bring up menu but exit is on 2nd submenu so not much of a time saver
there's no exit hotkey like the CNTL + ones for other functions |

sorry misread your clarified question
do you mean exit to the desktop (while leaving game running) ?
commonly referred to as 'tabbing out'
use alt + Tab or for most, the Windows Start keybord key also works
game is minimized and you're on your desktop |

Will this cause me to lose my confidence settings? |

Hi you can try it out...... Before you delete both files: First copy both files and paste to your desktop......
Now delete both files in TW08.....and try to play a course. when you are not happy you can restore both files you saved on your desktop. |

I tried it out, and it's amazingly faster. I now see that this bug is mentioned elsewhere in the forums. The loading time was driving me crazy, so thanks for explaining how to do this.
So, I still have my files backed up. What am I losing if I don't use them? Doesn't confidence affect my shot? And what's in that other file? Just curious... |

losing ? nothing confidence is just a visual pat on the back, it has absolutely no effect on how good or bad your actual shot is all it does is visually tell you: you've made shots like this lots of time, go get em OR you suck at this type of shot, good luck LOL
i've had the 2 files read only since day 1 when this fix was published on EA forums i still get the "practice is available on hole x" message after a game and i'm still as good or bad as ever |

I know this an old thread, but I wanted to let everyone know they do not have to replace their existing files. Just mark those as read only and you will not lose any of your experience points. |
