Using patch/fix for pc that makes the game run in 60 fps
3 years ago

Is it allowed to use the fix that you can find on Steam? It makes the game possible to run in 60 fps. The game still crashes for me, but the 60 fps looks nice.

Thanks for reading this message.

As far as I'm aware, 99.9% of all games on speedrun.com do not allow you to modify the game and then submit it to the leaderboard unless the category in question is specifically for mods.

But I'll let Lazerlong or Maxy answer this conclusively.

Thank you for your reply. I thought that might be the case as well, that is the reason I wanted to ask before I summited a run. I have to mention that the Pc version is almost unplayable for me. It keeps crashing and it is very unstable, so I might move on to console instead.

Yeah the PC version used to work very well for me on my old Windows 7 laptop but on my Windows 10 PC, I've never even been able to get it to run. It wants some kind of Sonic Cineplayer Decoder Pack that literally isn't in any decoder pack known to man, I've downloaded every single decoder pack on the internet and it doesn't resolve the issue.

I chose to run the Switch version since I can't get the PC version working anymore. But 360 runs the best out of all of them.

Hey @setw88. @rozukk was also wondering if PC runs would allow stability patches. In the case of this game, I believe that stability patches and 60fps should be allowed, as literally anybody who's planning on running the PC version would most likely have to use these patches anyways. I've stated that if someone performs a run on PC with these patches, I will gladly create a sub-category for the PC version under the Director's Cut category. Feel free to post the run here whenever you or someone else has performed one.

Although, I must mention that these are only allowed for stabilization of the game. Nothing else should be modified, outside of patching for crashes and FPS. It's a slippery slope, and if someone ends up having a clear advantage in anything not related to preventing crashes and stabilizing the game, it will be a mess. So I ask that anyone who is interested in this, please play by the rules.
