Warnings
- SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows Vista and later (see Availability for affected versions).
Key points
- Most of the fixes documented in this article target the DRM-free executable and will not work with other versions.
- No in-game quit option. Must use Alt+F4 to quit.
- 3-4 player modes from the console versions are absent on the PC version and can only be played with up to 2 players.
- Unfavorable to the console versions in many ways, including missing graphical elements (such as the heat wave effect in Egg Factory), characters' pupils being stationary in Story Mode cutscenes, FMV playback occasionally being choppy, and several in-game lines being excluded.
Availability
Demos
- A demo is available here.
Essential improvements
Tweakbox for Sonic Riders
- Work-in-progress, all-in-one mod that adds online multiplayer, widescreen support (without patching the game's executable file), controller support and more.
- Requires Reloaded II. Installation instructions are available on the mod's GitHub page, website and this YouTube video.

However, the developers decided to disallow 4 players in the game's menu code and did not implement reading of inputs for players 3 and 4 (their input data is still stored). Through hacking, playing 4 players is possible.[7] |

- This seems to be an issue caused by bad threading/lock mechanism between a thread that does decompression and a thread which reads file data from disk. It occurs when a lot of files are submitted to be decompressed at once and is more prominent on fast single-threaded CPUs. While I have not wrote a Reloaded-II mod that fixes the issue yet, I have decompressed the game files which should prevent this issue.
