Sonic Adventure DX (Steam) is a cartoon third-person platforming game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega, and was released for PC on September 16, 2014. It is the updated version of the previous 2011 version.
The current Steam version of Sonic Adventure DX features some fixes over the previous 2011 version as well as some other additional graphics settings. Unfortunately, it also carries some of the same issues from the previous PC releases, such as the game still being pillarboxed to 4:3 despite supporting higher resolutions, limited XInput controller support despite being derived from the Xbox 360 port, and introduced another problem where the game's framerate is occasionally reduced to ~40 FPS instead of running at 60 FPS. All of the unlockable Game Gear games are removed in this version compared to the GameCube version and previous PC releases, similarly to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions regardless of owning their respective DX Upgrade DLC.[1]
For a while, CheakFreak's BetterSADX was considered the de facto mod package for downgrading and installing mods for the Steam version of Sonic Adventure DX. It has since been succeeded by PkR's SADX Mod Installer[2], however, BetterSADX is still being maintained and is still available to download for those interested in using it as well.

| Borderless fullscreen windowed | Use Borderless Gaming for the Steam version. Alternatively, use SADX Mod Installer and enable Borderless and Fullscreen in SADX Mod Loader.[4] | ||
| Anisotropic filtering (AF) | Not available in the Steam version. Use SADX Mod Installer, then enable Force Mipmapping in SADX Mod Loader and force anisotropic filtering via GPU control panel. | ||
| Anti-aliasing (AA) | FXAA on/off for the Steam version. Nvidia card owners can force any kind of anti-aliasing with Nvidia Inspector with compatibility flag 0x080000C1 as long as they are using a 4:3 resolution (e.g. 1200x900 on a 1600x900 monitor). If using SADX Mod Installer, anti-aliasing can be forced by your GPU's control panel.[5] |
||
| Vertical sync (Vsync) | If using SADX Mod Installer, you may need to enable it via the SADX Mod Loader or your GPU's control panel. | ||
| 60 FPS | In-engine cutscenes are capped at 30 FPS. While they can be switched to 60 FPS via a cheat in the SADX Mod Loader, they will play at double the speed. | ||

Issues fixed
Low frame rate
- If the frame rate is stuck around ~40 FPS and won't rise to 60, disable the in-game FXAA and Vsync and instead force them through the Nvidia/Radeon control panel instead.[8] Alternatively, if forcing Vsync and FXAA via video card control panel does not fix the issue, downgrade the game to the 2004 port and patch it with mods via SADX Mod Installer.
