Hi Sage. Same here. I tried renaming file. I tried deleting the pano and doing a validate and save but still won't boot up. I hope someone can help you figure it out. Looks to be a great course.

The same happens to me. Almost immediately after I try to start the course. No warning, "nada", the game just crush. I thought that maybe I needed a faster processor, so I set my computer on high settings, but it makes no difference.

Sounds like it is time to go to a earlier version or saved file. I assume this involves a play-test file from the APCD project you're working on.

Hi Sage - would be helpful to know what you've already tried as a fix.

There's a multitude of reasons for a CRZ crashing in APCD or Links. I am sure that with our collective knowledge, we can come up with a solid checklist of possible causes.

- 2D objects planted off the plot?
- Changes to lie indicators?
- 4096 textures?
- A suspect object/tree with broken edges?

The last texture you added (Red-Sand 18) was a 2048x2048 texture. Resized to 1024x1024 and the course was playable in game. I made this mistake more than once with overlay textures!

Links Extender doesn't like the .crz file and won't load it so there might be something else going on ....

For what it's worth (and I now it's nothing so hold your comments :smile: ) Sand Hill has a beautiful clubhouse...

Wow guys, Thanks a million...!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the help coming forward is always amazing.
Colin, the reason I don't list the things I tried is that if I do nobody else will try those things. Better to let everyone who helps go thru their own trials.
Last night I narrowed it down to my last 2 textures I made.
Linkster then found the culprit...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah baby...!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Darn wrong size. I failed to save it as 1024 x 1024 before saving. Nice call Linkster...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clapping:
Course opens fine in the game now.
Just another thing to keep in mind when working with APCD............

Thanks everyone...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sage...... :clapping: :cheers1:
