Hi Everyone,
Now that the course is entering it's final stages before planting, I am having trouble even moving around the course. My system can not handle much more. I don't understand why because I used to be able to wiz through these courses, even big megabyte size ones. I have tried everything I can think of from the net to every suggestion mentioned here. Nothing helps. I am using a laptop. I thought it was good enough.
My specs not that it will make a diff..................
So I am going to make it as clean and complete as I can then someone will have to plant it to complete it the rest of the way. I wish I could finish it all myself but I can't do it.

Hello Sage,
I'm not very familiar with laptops.
But it could be that your CPU gets too hot (95°) and then the CPU clocks down.
Have you done your courses with this laptop before?
is 8GB RAM enough for APCD?
I keep my fingers crossed for you and us

Sage,
Titus mentioned the temperature:
As you can see it is half your temperature.(As you are aware I know nothing about computers)
It is most probably because you work on SageTurbotilme and your laptop does not have enough time to coll down.
I hope you can resole it, as working with APCD is frustrating enough, when it runs perfetly.
Good luck,
Ian

When it comes to CPU temp, I don't completely trust Speccy. When I first installed it, I read something about the CPU temp not being accurate, so I installed another app: Core Temp. Speccy CPU temp runs around 90 degrees Centigrade. This is what Core Temp shows:
It also can be set to notify you if the core temp gets too high. You can get it here: https://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/
I ran a virus scan when I downloaded it just in case.

You might get a can of air and blow it out. Could be that the airflow is restricted. Simple first step.
No matter where you go, there you are.
Re: Tobacco Road Golf Course
I cleaned out my vents. It runs really cool now.
BUT.......................... No improvement in APCD performance................I can only work on the course with "render hole" option only.

Re: Tobacco Road Golf Course
Does the course have individual seamblends that span a really long distance? I remember that you determined on some of your past courses that the problem (if caused by long seamblends) can be fixed by breaking up the long seamblends into smaller parts.
I find that course filesize has very little to do with how fast they load within APCD, as it is mostly a measure of how many different high resolution textures there are. APCD can load a lot of textures relatively well, compared to Links and compared to seamblends and objects.

Re: Tobacco Road Golf Course
I hope all of us Links players who can't design because our heads aren't screwed on correctly are reading these pages. I am in awe of these designers helping each other. It gives me goose bumps to read all the different suggestions that are put on this forum. When this course is done, you all will understand. I love this crew.
Re: Tobacco Road Golf Course
Hope you get your issues sorted mate.
I checked out some pictures of the real course out of curiosity a few days ago to see what would be involved in planting. OMG, you are gonna have to be committed to get this right... Best of luck Btw, you obviously know this as one of your screen captures mirrors one of the screenshots on the courses website and it's a close to a perfect match as the APCD will allow, great job mate.
