| |
| − | # Open Nvidia Control Panel.
| |
| − | # Click on "Manage 3D Settings" in the left side of the panel, and click "add".
| |
| − | # Select <code>{{p|game}}\SonicGenerations.exe</code>.
| |
| − | # Select the option to force it to use Nvidia Graphics Card.
| |
| − | # Now, go to the desktop. Right click on it, and select "Screen Resolution". Press Detect in this new Window (if you can see two displays that are grayed out and named after your video cards, you're probably good to go).
| |
| − | # Choose your Nvidia card and select "Attempt to connect anyway on [VGA/HDMI]". When you found it, click apply.
| |
| − | # Choose extended desktop and apply again. This will force-activate your discrete GPU.
| |
| − | # Open the Sonic Config tool and see if your Nvidia card is present (it really should be), and of course, choose it. Now start Sonic, and it will probably work.
| |
| − | # If not, try running the Sonic Config again and this time deliberately select the ''non''-Nvidia card. Try starting Sonic again. Some people have said that the now-force-activated Nvidia card took control anyway at this point, solving the problem.

| |
| − | # (Revert any changes you made in Method 1, if necessary: alter the Screen Resolution settings to Show Desktop Only on 1, Apply, then pick Remove This Display on the NVIDIA screen, and Apply again).
| |
| − | # Open the NVIDIA Control Panel, go to "Manage 3D Settings" then "Program Settings". Add the sonicgenerations.exe executable and set the preferred graphics processor to be the NVIDIA one.
| |
| − | # Open "Control Panel" and look for the "Device Manager". Open it and expand the "Display Adapters" item. Make a note of the exact name given to your NVIDIA adapter (including the use of capitalization). To be sure you have the whole name, open the adapter's properties in the same menu, switch to the Details tab, select "Device Description" from the drop-down, and right-click, copy the displayed information.
| |

| − | # Go to Sonic Generations installation folder.

| |
| − | {{ii}} Mod manager for all [https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Engine:Hedgehog_Engine Hedgehog Engine] titles except Phantasy Star Online 2. Required for all non-exe mods. {{cn|what about SonicGMI?}}
| |
| − | {{++}} Has more functions than SonicGMI, such as code loader and ability to automatically check for mods' updates and download them on startup.
| |
| − | {{++}} Compatible with DLL-based mods, eliminating the need of additional modified game executables.
| |
| − | {{--}} Some older mods have issues running in HedgeModManager. If this is the case, use [[#SonicGMI|SonicGMI]] instead.<ref name="SonicGMI"/>
| |
| − | {{ii}} Ensure "Enable save file redirection" is checked in HedgeModManager so that the mod uses its own save file called "cpkredir.sav", instead of "sonic.sav" which is linked to the Steam Cloud. That will avoid save file progress being accidentally overwritten or lost.
| |
| − | {{ii}} Older mods may still be able to run in HedgeModManager by editing the "mod.ini" file inside mod folers. The "IncludeDir0=" code is what causes older mods to not run in HMM. When that code tries to specify a location, for example (IncludeDir0="./mods/Sonic 2006 Voice (Sonic)") it won't run because the location specifications is made to work with SonicGMI and not HMM. Changing it so it only shows (IncludeDir0=".") solves the problem and makes the older mods fully compatible with HedgeModManager.
