Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed out on PC today

Me and esai couldn't get a game working, same error as in the sumo patch post. Looks like we have to split up region until they fix it... :/

Any EU wanna play now?
 
Because I'm able to use the dpad on my 360 controller, I'm finding the difficulty easier. Before when using PS3 analog sticks to steer, the drift challenges were alot harder staying in the lane and keeping it green. Now I can hit every drift and stay within the lane the whole time from entrance to exit. Overall I'm able to get around just about every track I had trouble with on the PS3 version alot better.

I'm not ready to concede defeat until he tries the convergence. It wouldn't be the first game with borked ghosting at default settings.

I mean its really not that bad the way it is. Its still pretty comparable to the original. Its just a few odd things here and there. Its just that the original was perfect for me out of the box as is most games. Still maybe I was a bit harsh with my score of Transformed's 3D. There's actually nothing wrong with the opponents and they look good whether close or far. I'll say its about an 8/10. Still very good and I wouldn't want to play the game without 3D from my experience so far just like the original.

I'll mess with the convergance tonight. Can you give me any pointers on how I should go about adjusting?

All my convergence tips and suggestions are listed under the basics section of the OP.

Also, even when my framerate is over 100fps there are frequent hitches and stuff making it all look 30 fps or worse... not even 60 for sure... even in not at all demanding parts like your victory pose part...

As others have mentioned before me, the game's engine has issues running above 60 Hz/FPS. They (Sumo) will rectify it in an upcoming patch. The only remedy for now is to cap it to 60 FPS using Vsync.

Is your router ok now? We had no one left to host without you :P
Click to expand...
Really? One of you should have PM'd me, I had no idea that's why people stopped playing :(
Prinny said:
I was half-serious, but the last time I hosted we got a NE every ~3 races and Smilax has some connection problem sometime so he can't host. There isn't many people left :P

Yikes, I'll PM you. I expect Steam will be able to manage online better or at least I hope.
 
Took me a while to get a smooth framerate out of this, turns out it was running at over 120fps which was causing it to strangely look like it was doing about 20fps. Turning on vsync (doh!) sorted it out. Game runs smooth as silk, looks amazing. Love the afterburner level.

Pls invite me to the steam group - steam name = steviedisco (just noticed I don't belong to the main gaf group either so if someone could invite me to that please would be great - long time gaffer, don't post much, hence still a junior)

cheers!
 
Just played a few tracks,it is very fun indeed! Love the track design and the flow of it from car,to air and water or a other way around. But i had my first crash after i finished my 3rd race. Game looks very good and runs perfect with a out a hitch.

Are people getting 60FPS in the game on PC? I love this game, but that was my biggest complaint about the Wii U version. Granted, I liked playing five-player local, but still...

100-200 fps but unless I turn on vsync it looks like 20 fps... Borked port is borked. (frame skipping/stutter like crazy)
I fucking hate playing with vsync on, makes controls unresponsive.

Can't remember the last time I had to play a game with vsync on to make it less shit...

Hmm and Fullscreen-Window Mode doesn't help instead of V-Sync? :/

Yet with Crossfire, I barely get 50fps :/
 
Holy hell this game is AMAZING. Not only the best kart racer I've ever played but also possibly the most fun I've had with a racing game in a while.

I do wish it had more in terms of a proper tutorial. I assumed that you activated "All-Stars" made by collecting coins at first, didn't realise it was a random drop. Also took me a while to figure out that you could do stunts for extra boost with the right stick after jumps.

Slowly getting the hang of it though and it's a gorgeous game also.
 
i have this game on my PS3
but i bought it again on PC because some times i can't turn on the TV after the midnight

can i get an invite ?

No :\ With vsync theres still some stutter at times , just less.
Click to expand...

Yeah I see now what you mean and you are right :/ I uncapped the game and get to 65-75fps with SweetFX and 70-90 without SweetFX (is it normal that it draws this much? o.o) and I could feel some sort of "micro-vibration" going on, it didn't feel like stuttering to me but just... well as if the engine had trouble to keep the game from not running too fast for the lack of a better wording. Your best chance is really to limit the framerate without V-Sync somehow like didamangi said :(

Are you all down for the four-pack? I would normally host the purchase, however my bank account is a little low at the moment to take such a hit. Any of you willing to host?
Click to expand...
I'll do it! I can purchase it when i get home later tonight. Just need solid confirmation that I have 3 willing participants. Either PM me or reply here.
 
Still can't get over how much better this looks and runs on my laptop which wasn't cutting edge when I bought it 2 years ago, compared to the 360 demo. I know it doesn't push any hardware but damn it looks clean and pretty.
 
So I'll ask again, I'm from Europe and couldn't invite an US friend to play with me. Am I the only one?

Worked with Euro friends.

There is a error and the developers know it. It will be fixed so EU and US can play and i think other country's to.


People from the EU add me! :) Nickname is the same.

So i played around 2 hours now. It is running so smooth and it is pretty optimized. Getting that high fps,love the transforming of the car into jet/boat. The race tracks them self are really good since there is a lot of diversity to play around with.

I'm so glad I went into this blind. These levels, man...

Yea no kidding, I barely knew what this was beyond some kind of sonic racing thing, I only bought it because SEGA rescued Relic. Such a pleasant surprise.

The tracks are incredible. Especially the Nights into Dreams track.

Same here, the Skies track and the Panzer Dragoon track blew me away, and I'm only a few races in.

This game looks god damn glorious downsampled from 3200x1800.
 
I really like this game a lot after 3 hours with it.

It was kind of shocking how when i started on "medium" was getting 3rd places on races when I started. I decided to put it down to easy to practice and gain some exp/unlock characters. A few hours later I just one my first race on hard fairly easily.

I love how it balances skillful play with simplicity. The flips, transform boost, and power slide boosts are all elegant to control but have nice risk/rewards tied to them. I always felt like some of the older Mario Kart games didn't get the balance of the power slide boost right--either it took too link or it was too easy to boost throughout the entire race. This has a nice balance.

My... god...

The Nights track!

THE NIGHTS TRACK
Click to expand...

That's a highlight just for being one of the only tracks (if the only track, I can't remember) to have no driving sections. Of course being a NiGHTS track it'd be weird if it wasn't flying heavy, but it still stands out nicely.

Also fucking Wizeman, man. That was fantastic.
 
I want to play some online. Anyone else from the US want to join? I'll be asking some of the members in the group, too.

Just in case you aren't in the group yet and want to play, you guys can add me: dragonlife29
