PES 2017, or Pro Evolution Soccer 2017, is a soccer video game developed and published by Konami. The crowd disabler is a tool used by some players to remove or reduce the spectators in the game, which can enhance gameplay experience, especially for those who find the crowds obstructive.
If you are comfortable with a HEX editor (like HxD), you can manually edit your existing PES2017.exe to trick the disabler.
