Not yet, won't let me adjust graphics settingsSo who's going to try that mod and report back here on it's quality
Wack, I'm downloading it right now.
I think its kinda neat, but its janky as hell
Alright I guess I'll skip it! Anyone know the best way to play Adventure these days? Still the original hardware?

Unfortunately I live in Japan so I'm out of luck with the steam option. Might just have to set up the Dreamcast!
Yeah humble bundle is blocked too. I'll have a look and see if I can pick it up! Cheers for the advice!Had no idea SADX was blocked in that region, that sucks. What about third-party sites like Humble Bundle, can you buy it from there? https://www.humblebundle.com/store/sonic-adventure-dx
If that fails maybe you can try hunting down a physical copy of the 2004 PC version. That's actually the version that the mod installer converts the Steam port into, so if you were able to get ahold of it then you can use mods with absolutely no trouble.

On pointPlayed some Sonic 1 GG yesterday (with the SMS style hack to make Sonic's sprites resemble those from the SMS version) for the obligatory festivities. Wasn't up for a Genesis/Adventure/whatever marathon this time; still love this series but I've been all Sonic'd out for some time now. I think once Sonic Studio drops (or SAGE happens, whichever comes first) that'll reignite my interest.
Put on a longplay from Youtube and hold up on your controller's stick while watching, and you'll get a near identical experience as someone actually playing it.
That's the weirdest part of the entire game for me. Why did they do it? Feels like the just forgot to add rails or a drift button.Not entirely true, there's those Grand Metropolis highways you go flying off the bends on unless you slow the heck down or jam really hard in one direction, almost like you were intended to drift around them, but Sonic can't do that by himself in this game...
Sadly "not entirely true" isn't the best look either to a speedy platformer like Sonic... or any game whatsoever :(Not entirely true, there's those Grand Metropolis highways you go flying off the bends on unless you slow the heck down or jam really hard in one direction, almost like you were intended to drift around them, but Sonic can't do that by himself in this game...
YeahIs details like this that make me think sega is legit going to try and make a sonic mania sequel themselves, not understanding why people like it thinking they know and fuck it all up.
Don't touch Sonic Mania unless it's the Mania team, boyos.The nightmare scenario would be the original team not returning to develop the sequel and having Sonic Team themselves ruin the entire series developing the game themselves and fucking shit up.
Hey so question for anyone that can help, trying to avoid making a topic on this. Problem I have had with SRB2 and now this on my new PC (Windows) is unless I run as administrator every time it will not save anything even the controller config. Does anyone have any advice they can give Or should I make my own topic?
Sounds very much like you put it in Program Files. This folder is protected from non-administrators since Windows 2000, and programs are expected to adhere to this security requirement (by writing user data to /users/). SRB2 doesn't, which is what produces this behaviour. If you move SRB2 to a non-system location (like C:/Games/SRB2 for example) it should operate fine.Hey so question for anyone that can help, trying to avoid making a topic on this.

I don't have the slightest idea, sorry. All I can recommend is downloading a fresh copy of the game and see if that fixes it (download 2.2.1 first, then the 2.2.4 patch after).
Copy these files/folders from your existing install and move them into the new install to save your progress.
- replay
- config.cfg
- gamedata.dat
- srb2sav1.ssg ... srb2sav2.ssg ... srb2sav3.ssg ... etc.

Thanks both for the help and yes you are right that all my stuff I have been putting in PF so I will try that before re downloading. Odd thing is I am the administrator.
You don't need to redownload. Edward850 is 100% correct. I have SRB2 (and some other stuff) in its own special Games folder for exactly this reason. I just totally forgot this was a thing.
Friends don't have to go throw birthday parties to be friends. Sometimes all you need to do is be there for people, and he's there for his friends. Or he was, untill sega decided no.Hm, never saw Shadow as the friend type post-Maria.
Allies, sure. Partners? You bet. Rivals? How could he not?
But I don't see him throwing anyone a surprise party.
Or inviting someone over for movie night.
Not even hanging out. I just can't picture it. Guy's way too uptight.
I suspect somewhere around Generations they decided on the "definitive" molds of the characters, and they've been using those exact same designs for almost a decade now. Maybe Sonic Boom falling through scared them even further (although it seems like it was their fault Sonic Boom didn't have wholly distinct designs). Blaze is this. Shadow is this. Rouge is this. Even during Forces, where characters should've changed, nobody seemed that different after everything that happened, except for Knuckles being blandly competent and Tails... yeah.
I don't think it does and pretty much agree with most of that video .
