Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition HD is an anime sci-fi shooter fighting game developed by Orange_Juice and published by Rockin' Android. It is the updated re-release of Acceleration of SUGURI and was developed using Luna3D.

This re-release is based off the PlayStation 3 port of Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition originally released in 2011, which combines the original PC version and its expansion pack into one game. Compared to the original Acceleration of SUGURI, it features the ability to rebind keyboard controls, higher resolutions with widescreen support, and the ability to choose between the original or redrawn HD graphics, however, some of the game's assets are still low resolution, even with the HD graphics. It was initially released through DESURA on June 25, 2012, unfortunately, it had bugs and glitches that were not present in the original release, such as compatibility issues with Windows 8 or later, replays not working correctly when played in different resolutions or aspect-ratios, frequent crashes when launching the game, among other issues.[1] It was later re-released through Steam on July 1, 2014, with many of the same issues from the DRM-free release while introducing new ones, such as connection issues with online multiplayer, and broken Steam Achievements.[2]

A patch was later released silently on August 24, 2014 for the Steam version.[3] It addressed most of the game-breaking issues and implemented better support for XInput controllers, however, there are inaccuracies and issues still present compared to the original Acceleration of SUGURI, such as the broken Steam Achievements and incorrect music playback with this version. Contrary to what the game's system requirements states, it also still uses DirectX 8.1 as with the original version of the game, causing the game to crash when played on resolutions above 1080p unless a workaround with dgVoodoo 2 is used.

Increase rendering resolution

dgVoodoo 2 fixes the game crashing when played on resolutions above 1080p by tricking the game into running in higher resolutions.
Can cause a minor issue where the framerate drops during the victory screen when displayed in very high resolutions.
Use dgVoodoo 2[4]
  1. Download the latest stable release of dgVoodoo 2 here, then extract the contents of dgVoodoo2_*.zip to its own folder in a convenient in the computer (e.g. Documents).
  2. Run the dgVoodooCpl.exe, then configure the following settings from the General tab:
    • Adapter(s) to use/enable: <video card>
    • Output API: Set to Best available one
    • Scaling mode: Set to Stretched, keep Ratio
    • Miscellaneous: Check Keep window aspect ratio
  3. Now go to the DirectX tab and configure the following settings:
    • Videocard: dgVoodoo 3D Accelerated Card
    • Filtering: Leave it at App driven
    • Resolution: Set to either Unforced (use the game's default resolution) or Max (use the system's highest native resolution)
    • Behavior: Check Application controlled fullscreen/windowed state, uncheck Disable Alt-Enter to toggle screens state (Alt+ Enter is not used by this game)
    • Antialiasing (MSAA): Leave it at App driven
    • Miscellaneous: Uncheck dgVoodoo Watermark
  4. (Optional) Right-click the dgVoodoo 2 banner and click the Show all sections of the configuration, go to the GeneralEx tab, and from the Fullscreen mode attributes section check Fake to enable borderless fullscreen windowed.
  5. Click Apply and dgVoodoo 2 should save the configuration file to where it was installed by default, then copy the dgVoodoo.conf to <path-to-game>. Alternatively, click the Add button and point the program to where the game is installed to save it there.
  6. Go into the MS/x86 folder from where dgVoodoo 2 is installed, then copy the D3D8.dll file to <path-to-game>.
  7. Launch the game and set the Display Resolution in the configuration launcher to any resolution that is within 1080p or under (e.g. 1280x720 for 16:9 resolutions). The game should render to a higher resolution through dgVoodoo 2 regardless of the option selected from the configuration launcher.

Issues fixed

Crashing with resolutions higher than 1080p

The game will crash when attempting to display the game with resolutions above 1920x1080 from the configuration launcher (e.g. 2160x1440, 3840x2160).
Use dgVoodoo 2 as workaround[4]

Issues unresolved

Randomly crashes to desktop when launching the game

The game may crash when attempting to launch the game, especially in the DRM-free version.[1]

Replays are not playing properly

The replay files may not play properly when switching between different resolutions and/or aspect-ratios.[1]

Some music tracks do not loop properly

A couple of the game's music tracks, such as Rendezvous (Hime's Theme), does not loop properly like in the original Acceleration of SUGURI and play a short portion of the track as a result.[5] This is how the track is supposed to sound: YouTube.

Certain Steam Achievements does not unlock

Some of the Achievements with the Steam version may not work, despite meeting the unlocking conditions. This is commonly occurs with the online multiplayer Achievements, but some single-player Achievements such as "What's Your Story" Achievement are also affected.[6]

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 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>/265170/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (265170) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
