Only the Switch version had issues

[Mållgan]

But for some reason, people are coming talking about these phantom glitches and ghost bugs in the PC version. Like come on, no one is gonna be entertained by your bullsh*t. Go play some warzone or something.

I played it on the Switch and I didn't see any major issues.

This game suffers from constant stuttering which makes almost unplayable and the loading time are dreadful

[Blue_Glasses]

loading times were dreadful when i installed it in a hdd, but after i moved it to an ssd, it becomes more bearable.

so far, i have issues with the cutscenes where they would lag heavily. audio is fine

Isn't the lighting much worse compared to wii? This video kinda shows it goes deeper than some swtich issues. Even If they patched in a tails toggle and old ost. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6Fd1COgWoI

When you just outright refuse to port things like the eye animations, butcher the lighting, have audio randomly play out each ear only, fail to make 2d textures work right, ect. That's just a ♥♥♥♥ remaster, which this is, switch or not.

When it comes to visuals, thankfully there are mods to improve the lighting and adding animations for Sonic, though some issues remain like the shader compilation stutters...

Sadly I don't think mods excuse the fact that its not in the game standard, also are we sure its shader compile stutters? It's a DX10 game of all things, part of that makes me doubt its actually shaders.

Not saying its impossible, but if they actually mangaged to make a DX10 wii game stutter that puts this port into the beyond ♥♥♥♥ tier.

Yeah, I agree, mods improving things don't excuse the state of the game.

And yeah, I'm sure it's shader compilation stutters, since they only happen the first time an effect happens, the stutters are gone when replaying.

Also it's a DX11 game, the studio that handled the "remaster" used a fork of the Godot engine to handle the graphics instead of the game's original engine.

Odd, the steam page outright states DX10 is what It wants, only DX11 games i've ever seen stutter is unreal ones, and that's due to epic doing their own thing with PSO's. Wonder if Godot does the same.

Hmm, the MSI Afterburner/RTSS overlay detects it as DX11, and the PC gaming wiki also lists it as DX11:

I'd trust MSI being right, so that's even more odd that it says DX10 is compatible, maybe its a fallback mode?

Hmm, either that or they made a mistake in the requirements.

That's the PS4 version buddy. I think you are in the wrong forum.
