Game keeps force closing itself and there is no fullscreen?
I can't boot up the game and look in the options menu for more than a minute before the game force closes/crashes. Also I can't alt+enter to go fullscreen and can't find a fullscreen option in settings?

Yes. For AMD users and NVIDIA cards that still crash, you gotta do this:

1. Go to Windows Settings.
2. Go to System, then Display Settings.
3. Scroll down to, and click on Graphics.
4. Locate Sonic Frontiers in the Apps menu. Add it if it does not appear.
(The exe is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SonicFrontiers )
5. Change its launch setting to High Performance.
6. Done. Souldnt crash now. Enjoy your game and fullscreen.

Refund and make Sega know that is not acceptable game state

That's what Denuvo does. Refund the game and wait for them to remove it.

Here's an easy fix to solve the fullscreen issue.
1. Go to the Nvidia control panel
2. Go to 3D Settings, then choose Manage 3D Settings.
3. Open the Program Settings tab, and from the drop-down menu, choose Sonic Frontiers.
4. Next, use another drop-down menu to choose the graphics processor you want to use for this program.
5. Lastly, your Nvidia GPU should show up as High-Performance Nvidia Processor.
6. Save the changes and enjoy the best Sonic game ever made. I cannot stress enough how good this is.

I get it, funny haha AMD sucks, but now's not the time for that joke. I'm genuinely frustrated and would like an answer. All you're doing is making me more upset about the situation, Not all of us are fortunate enough to be able to purchase 600-2000 dollar graphics cards.

you know what man? thank you. based off of what you said, I decided to go into windows graphics settings and force the game to use high power since I don't have an nvidia card. My game runs full screen and I can edit my graphics as I please. thank you man.

The built-in Win10/11 graphics settings also work. I can personally attest.

What do you mean by use another drop down to select preferred graphics processor? Where is that option located?
