I am looking for a little advice about the Pasatiempo course I am working on...I got all the major groundmoving done, it is at point of testing pins, planting, and adding bling. I did some planting, recompiled, and when I hit tee off the stupid thing just crashes, the load bar never even moves.

Now, If I compile without trees, it plays fine. if I compile with trees but without structures, it plays fine. But compile with both, and it crashes as soon as I hit tee off...I tried to lower the policount by deleting some trees and structures, but it makes no difference

I can't release the working vs I have, it has no cutt or fringe, and I haven't decreased it yet, it is no where near the level I can bring myself to settle for....any suggestions on what is causing it.

Here is the library list I am using:
CdA

Common Structures 10

Doral

East Lake

Judd's Walls_n_Stuff

Kiawah Island Objects

PGAX Houses 2009

Pasatiempo Textures (custom texture not on cdloads yet)

Pebble Beach Golf Links 2008

SedgefieldStructures

Test Pins (almost ready to yank these)

The K Club

Westchester

jjholdtees

pgax cars

I also attached a screenie of the course info. I'd appreciate any help anyone would have.

In the screenshot you attached i can see you are using Win7.
Are you compiling your course on win7 ?

Jamie
I know this may sound stupid but have you installed that new library into the TW2008 game. It sounds very much like a library problem.

Only thing I can suggest is going back to the last thing you did before it started crashing, the answer Must be their somewhere.. IE: Planting Trees I believe was the last thing you said you did before it started crashing...

Wish I could be of more help..

make sure you have both versions of courses like Kclub installed in 08 JJ....I have screwed that up before thinking I was using the 2008 version in the CA but was really using the 2007 version which i did not have installed in TW08.

Maybe post a screen of your ca open display objects point count etc also suggest having a look in clay mode to see if there is any inverted spikes.Those can be nasty and do reek havoc.

Judging only by the libraries you are using it seems like there may be too many non-tree structures. That is just a guess though.

and 329 structures seems like a lot too some of those may have high poly's and can really tax a system. Try the objects first if that works, great, if not dump a ton and I do mean a ton of structures if possible (like at least 200)and try again. I have gut feeling thats way too many structures to be stable.If it works after losing that many then you knowyour going to have to do some demolition work. :)

i deleted 36 test pins, 54 tee markers, 5 stairs, and about 30 unecessary white posts..this is what I have now that compiled (;see the attachment) I believe I also deleted the street lights

Pasatiempo has houses all around it, I hate to sacrifice them :(; Although I guess each house doesnt need a fence around it lol...i got rid of almost all the pgax cars, I think I have 4 left...i did keep about 10 carts, but maybe I should delete them as they are only visible if you look at 1st tee back towards clubhouse...I am such a perfectionist, i want it to be just like I see on google maps and bing birds eye, but I may need to tone it down for this one.

I thinned alot of bushes and flower gardens, got rid of trees that arent visible..hopefully I got rid of enough that I can get rid of creases and ready for release.

I will keep tweaking them. Maybe I better do a wide test with other people to see if it plays on their systems too when I am almost done.

Well good luck and on the subject of using clay mode it is a great way to find seams.One of my biggest pet peeves is seeing all the work gone into a course and then have a continental shelf between the fairway and cut or even worse between the green and fringe.To me its sloppy and lazy.

Things like carts are very high poly counts. Rob at CGX does a good job of making structures with low poly count and still look decent.

I agree glen and it is such an easu fix too...I think I am gonna lose the carts and replace a bridge, then I can lose the entire common structures lib as I deleted the tee markers anyway...kils me to lose my bling, but rather have a well made course with less bling than a blinged out mess of a course
