Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II

General information

Steam Forum - for both Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I and Episode II

Video settings

Widescreen resolution

There is a lack of support for multiple widescreen resolutions, most glaringly the 1366x768 resolution. - Game is not upscaled from a lower resolution. Otherwise forced Anti Aliasing would not work any display resolution other than the base rendering resolution. This is due to how hardware AA works on Nvidia cards. It cannot force AA on any textures smaller than the primary flip chain (Display Resolution) ) - Reference shows example of this (In the case of Sonic Adventure DX Dreamcast Collection version. Sonic 4 Episode I also suffers this. As a result AA can only be forced when using 1280x720 as display resolution)

Input settings

Running ths game requires the settings:

Game Running Too Fast

Game reportedly may run at a very high speed.

• Use Dxtory to lock framerate to 59 FPS.
• Adjusting the graphics adaptor to force Vsync.
