| Today the TW08 executable file on my desktop died. I tried copying a new one to replace it but that didn't work either. So, I uninstalled the game and then reinstalled it. The reinstall is a fresh one. I have determined that all my previously saved files still exist and I now want to put them back in to this install, especially my particular player's accomplishments. How do I do this? My priority is to replace my player, then the library files, and finally course files. My TW Caddie is empty except for what was newly reinstalled. |

If you saved your player or backed it up, you can restore it, the player folder and PLR file goes into , my documents /Tiger woods pga tour 2008/career/players, the other files hal,cal, aia, go into the Ability folder.
To start again with a new player with no Attributes is no good as it takes ages getting them all back, if you did not back-up your original player , create a new Player and chose Pro on the set-up that gives you 75% Attributes and $100,000 to spend which is good enough for online play.
The other way is to download a player from here I have done 3 , but you may find Seve Ballesteros is the one !:)

Also don t forget to do the confidence folder fix after a new install:
When you played some courses you will see the loading times between holes are increasing, the game will become slower and slower.
Do next steps to solve the problem:
1) On desktop you will see the folder My Documents. Open this folder.
( when you are using Vista or Win7: on desktop look for folder: User (or username).....inside you will find My documents )
2) Inside My documents look for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2008. Open this folder and then open the folder Career
3) Inside Career open the folder Players. Inside this folder, look for your playersname folder and open it.
4) Open the folder Confidence.
5) Inside you will find these files: Hole Type.tcn and Shot Type.tcn. delete both files.
6) Important step here! Restart the TW08 game and play 1 hole on any stock course, then close TW08 game.
7) Go back to same Confidence folder and you will see both files are regenerated: but now they are very small in size. Now right click the Hole Type.tcn file and choose Properties. Check the box next to Read Only and click OK. Now do the same thing for the Shot Type.tcn file. |
