Cutscenes are having problems
Im having problems with the cutscenes in this game. the effects are out of sync and the video cutscenes (island blow up. eggman blows up the moon. rocket blastoff.) keep freezing and the audio freezes for a second then it just plays normally then freezes again. anyone know a fix for this?

I'm not sure about the freezing (that does sound like an issue) but the poor audio sync is a trademark of this version of the game...


About that fix... Someone just released a mod that fixes all the cutscenes in this game, it's called cutscene revamp or something, it's meant to fix all the broken audio and visual effects while keeping the few animation improvements that the battle port has.
It's on gamebanana. You'll also need the SA2 mod manager to install it properly.

Edit : the video cutscenes still freezes a few seconds but the audio is fixed. so this will do for now.

Hm, that freezing is weird, I'd say it sounds like a computer problem (like lacking in graphical power or something) but this game, while extremely finicky doesn't require a very good computer to run...

What you describe reminds me of two things, 1) I'd use to get a similar problem during gameplay back when the game only ran in windowed mode for me, trying to start in full screen would crash the game. One day it was just able to work in full screen and the freezing stopped, not that this is helpful since I don't know what fixed it. 2) A mod called hd gui would cause slowdown at the start of some cutscenes causing the audio to fall out of sync. This wouldn't happen when it was off.

Whatever your problem is, I hope someone else can give you a solution. If not, I hope this doesn't ruin your entire game.

I haven't had those but I've been seeing syncing issues with the voicelines. they'll just cut eachother off near the end of the sentence. as an example when playing as Heroes on the Shadow fight in the Jungle, Sonic says something along the lines of "No, You're the fake hedgehog" meanwhile Shadow immediately and while Sonic is closing out his line, says "I'll make you eat those words".
it's not game breaking but makes the devs seem lazy that it happens

You might have had too many applications open at the same time. It sounds like your computer was lagging.

That's not a glitch, that's just how bad audio mixing and lip syncing are in this port.
At least, that's the case for the english dialogue... The lip movements were made to sync with the japanese dialogue.

Yep, thats just the dialogue acting. It shouldnt happen all the time though, if it does you should look into it
