Multiplayer types

Type Native Players Notes
Local play
4 Versus, Co-op
Local players can go online too. Co-op career mode supports 4 players.[1]
LAN play
Versus
Players on the same network will be directly connected. Requires an internet connection for Steam authentication.[2]
Online play
10 Versus
Matchmaking is not Region locked. However, if you have 128 friends who own the game, entering Matchmaking will crash the game. Only fix is to remove friends who own the game from your friends list.

Connection types

Type Native Notes
Matchmaking
It's possible to play private games.
Peer-to-peer
Dedicated
Self-hosting
Players can create custom matches, but P2P networking is still used.
Direct IP
Players must join other friends through their Steam profiles. Additionally, there's a way to make matchmaking lobbies private.

Private matchmaking lobbies

Although not an official option, it is possible to play privately on matchmaking mode by using the -internalid command line argument.[3]
This method is intended for private ranked matchmaking lobbies only. Private matches can be created more easily by using the Custom Game option.
Instructions[3]

Use the -internalid secret_text command line argument.

  • Example: -internalid SegaDoesWhatNintendont

Notes

This option will force the game to connect only with players who are using the same internalid. Any player who wants to join your lobby must set this argument first.
Argument must be removed before playing in public matches.

VR support

Issues unresolved

Missing objects on ATI Radeon HD3000/HD4000

Objects like the water and boost pads, essential to gameplay, will not render at all.[4]
This is a driver issue, and not much can be done about it. It may be partially fixed by messing about with the game's settings and window (minimizing, moving it, or even opening UAC prompts),[5] but even this will only make the objects slightly visible and still hard to see.

Shadow stripes

This occurs on some old Nvidia GPUs, like the GeForce 7600GS (AGP8x). Unfortunately, there is no known fix.[6]

Issues fixed

Stuttering

Stuttering is caused by high frame rates (above 60 FPS). In another case, the GPU load can also be too low causing frame rates below 60 FPS.
Enable Vsync[citation needed]
Cap the frame rate at 60 FPS[citation needed]
Set energy mode of the graphics card to maximum performance[7][8]

Launcher.exe has stopped working (Windows 8)

Application crashes with error message: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Set Windows 7 compatibility mode[citation needed]
  1. Open Launcher.exe compatibility settings.
  2. Enable Windows 7 compatibility mode.

Low audio volume

Volume level is very soft in game.
Disable automatic volume adjustments[citation needed]
  1. Open the Control Panel.
  2. Go to Hardware and Sound → Sound.
  3. On the Communications tab, choose "Do nothing".

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
Set screen refresh rate and 60 FPS cap[citation needed]
  1. Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide.
  2. Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
  3. Open <path-to-game>\d3d9.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed\SpecialK.ini depending on the installation method you used.
  4. Change TargetFPS=0.0 to TargetFPS=60.0.
  5. Change RefreshRate=-1 to RefreshRate=0.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/212480/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (212480) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
