  5: Direct3D9Ex or Direct3D11 (by Skyth)
  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU NEED TO CHOSSE ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  Direct3D 9 Ex is a very viable option if you have a computer with few resources or one that has a hard time running Sonic Generations, apart from this it has no incompatibilities with any Mod except for Direct x11 which crashes with "SWA Title Screen" although it is true that this is an optional mod

  DirectX 11 (DX11) is generally better than DirectX 9 (DX9) for most modern gaming and graphical applications due to several reasons, but it has an incompatibility with a SWA Title Screen mod which crashes upon entry but because it is optional it is up to each person to decide which DirectX should be used

I have an issue, after the first stage, it goes to the now loading screen, it loads in. I can move sonic around in the hub, and her the background, but all I see is a frozen now loading screen?
