HOW TO : Guidance on how to remove and re-install clean version of Perfect Golf

Post by MiMiC »

This is the best way of making sure you have a fresh version of Perfect Golf which has not been broken by the multiple updates the game has had since release. If you do not have this fresh version, you will suffer from various issues such as drops from hitting into water or your player in game loading without a name, in clothes you have not chosen, or with clubs you have not selected.

First, you will want to copy your courses folder or move it, to save having to download all user-created courses when you re-install the game. To do this, simply drag the Courses folder from within the \Steam\steamapps\common\Perfect Golf folder, onto your desktop.

Uninstall the game as you normally would for other programs. Do this by going to you Windows Programs and Features window and selecting the program and choosing Uninstall.

Then remove the Steam\steamapps\common\Perfect Golf folder which will still be present after the uninstall.

Run CCleaner to remove temporary files and scan the registry using CCleaner's tool for obsolete entries and remove them.

Reboot your computer, regardless if its needed, then re-install game in Steam again.

Thanks very helpful tips mike. I do use C Cleaner but am wary of using the Registry clean in case it removes vital files
