Key points
- Despite the uncapped frame rate, the update rate of the gameplay sections are arbitrarily capped at
60 FPS
, frame rates higher than that will cause the engine to duplicate the frames. See High frame rate and Game uses incorrect refresh rate.[3]
- Game can look very dithered and blurry even at the highest settings. See Dithering and pop-in and Poor image quality[4]

Issues unresolved
- Official bug reporting thread in Steam community discussion.
Dithering and pop-in
- Game uses a dithering effect for transitioning shadows from one quality level to another. Since shadow quality (including resolution, detail and render distance and ambient occlusion) and asset LOD is generally low even at the highest preset, this will cause the game to look very dithered up close and with missing shadows and detail in far distances. There's currently no known fixes for this.[13]
Online problems and disconnections
- As of May 24, 2019, there is many reports of online lobbies not finding other players and players being kicked mid-game back to lobby when connection errors occur and kicked out from whole session if host quits.[14] Console versions are having similar issues.[15]
- Games online matchmaking is tied into Steam download server location. If having issues finding players in matchmaking, changing the download server to another country with more people can help.
Lighting bugs
- Lighting seems incorrect and it's possible to see transparent textures.[14]
Issues fixed
Game uses incorrect refresh rate
- The game may default to the lowest supported refresh rate of the monitor.
Override refresh rate with Special K[5]
|
- Download the latest release of Special K.
- Copy
SpecialK64.dll to the game folder, and rename it to dxgi.dll .
- Run the game once, and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
- Open
dxgi.ini , and change RefreshRate=-1.0 to desired hertz; e.g. RefreshRate=120.0 .
|
Override refresh rate with 3Dmigoto[5]
|
- Download and install Team Sonic Racing 3Dfix.
- Open
d3dx.ini .
- Change
;refresh_rate=60 to desired hertz; e.g. refresh_rate=120 .
|

- Select
Change high dpi settings under the Compatibility tab and check both options.
|
Crashing on launch
- Currently the game seems to be missing crucial redistributables which is causing this for some users.
Dithered visual artifacts
- This seems to be related to games Ambient Occulusion working incorrectly.[18]
Toggle or disable ambient occulusion from games settings.[19]
|
Inconsistent Aspect Ratio support
See the WSGF entry on how to correct the FOV expansion to scale within the HUD.
|
Laggy and stuttery gameplay
