For those, like me, who are struggling to save legacy courses on PS4, HB Paul gave an update on the situation yesterday afternoon: Hey guys
Sorry for not getting an update to you sooner on this. We've tracked down the issue that is occurring due to the save failing and are working on a solution. The course file sizes have increased from TGC 1 and the chunk of space we request from the PS4 to do the save isn't large enough for some corses. The first save you make passes (when the course is imported) but a later save is going to run out of memory. We keep a backup of the course around during saves so we don't lose anything if the save fails, and this backup plus the main save file is causing the error. The kicker is that with a PS4 save file we can't increase that once one save is made. So if we tell the PS4 that the file to be saved is going to be 20 MB, we can't go back later and save 30 MB in that slot. Unfortunately none of the courses we had for QA to test were large enough to trigger this issue.
We are working on a patch for this and a few other issues that have occurred. I don't know any specifics as to when that will get out to everyone though.
Thanks for everyone's patience, I feel awful that you guys can't get your old courses published right away. The good news is this shouldn't be occurring to all old courses. Just ones that had a large file size in TGC1Source: HB Studios forum
Have a couple of courses I'm dying to get ported over from TGC1. Guess us PS4 guys are going to have to be patient and wait for the patch.

Cheers Mayday,
Im freaking pissed but it is what it is. I'll try port my WIP that has 18 holes but no furnishings and if that doesn't work I'll just have to start from scratch.
TGC2 the game that just keeps kicking you in the balls.

They knew about the crashes on TGC1 so I don't know why they never asked those that complained about it to try and port over our courses to test?
I'm guessing as it was never fixed in TGC1 that it wont be in TGC2. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Because there was no PS4 beta. It was only for PC.
The issue with being unable to save is a memory allocation issue. The issue with getting crashes after a while might be related or might not.
I hope it's related.
