Sonic Unleashed on PC - Full Tutorial/Guide

[@sb129gaming]

If You're Still Experiencing Issues, Change the resolution to "Custom" in the Mod Manager! I'll be happy to answer any other questions, hope it helps! :)

[@poopingfenyx1609]

i cant manage to download the thingy from the web site you couldnt share any tips to help @sb129gaming

[@RaziOrSomething]

I'm just gonna say, the flashbang fix is most definitely not the only mod you'll ever need. You should also get SU Fixes, Dragon Road act 3 fixes, Sonic Unleashed Denoised, and HDR Fix

[@shankshanks6722]

Based, just finished Unleashed on my Wii U. Now when I get home from work I can play it on PC too!

[@sb129gaming]

Awesome bro 👍

[@SurfyManx]

How the hell did you play Unleashed on the Wii U?

[@shankshanks6722]

Installed it as an application on my homescreen using TeconMoon's WiiVC injector. Using that, I forced it to think my gamepad was a wii classic controller so I could play without my TV lol

[@SurfyManx]

@@shankshanks6722 Huh. I never knew you could do that. Is it an emulator or is it native?

[@shankshanks6722]

It just acts as a shortcut, really. Makes the wii u boot into wii mode then the game automatically. Saves you from having to go to the wii menu > homebrew browser > wii flow > game.

[@Kookie-ub4lp]

My God, there is no one in Brazil who brought this content on how to download Sonic Unleashed with mods to make the game more beautiful, I had to transcend what I know of English to be able to acquire this masterpiece.

Thank you so much for this guide! 🙏 I could never get Unleashed to work until now, this was so helpful, thanks once again!

[@sb129gaming]

Glad the video helped out 👍

[@d_gonzaga]

For the crashes, I fixed by using gpu = "vulkan" instead of gpu = "any" or gpu = "d3d12" in the xenia-canary.config.toml file. The crashes begin to be very often with the default gpu configuration, and it was getting unplayable for me, specially because of the Night Stages, they are long as hell. The game crashes, and you lose all the stage progress. Yes, the vulkan gpu will not let you play with the best graphics, but it's fair enough if you just want to enjoy the game.

[@yacbrainburn5401]

ty ty ty

[@NedgNDG]

I have found a lifehack to play vulkan at 2k. I just used vkd3d. The game runs in dx12 but then converts to vulkan. However the game with my configuration with 60 fps the emulator dropped to 40

[@Churcheen]

Appreciate this a whole ton, always wanted to play the X360/PS3 version of such a masterpiece, cheers!

[@sb129gaming]

Thanks! Glad the vid helped bro 👍

[@XGxgameDoesStuff]

Hey, Cool tutorial! I may have a sorta fix for the crashes, Usually the render is set to DX12 but if you set the render to vulkan in the config file in xenia then it should fix some crashes, it should be inside the GPU section of the file, its gpu = "any" on default but if you change it to gpu = "vulkan" than that should fix some of the crashes but be it might be just a tiny bit slower than DX12 but you shouldn't notice too much of a slow down ingame. I hope this helped and it wasn't too confusing to follow

[@SadScorpion956]

Also the game is locked to native resolution (880x720) when using vulkan

[@rakuraku4066]

Short, and perfect. Yes, there are some other videos that give the information this one does but they're much slower, sometimes over 15 minutes long. This is perfect for someone who knows how to use computers, has modded games before, and has experience emulating games. Hell, even works for the ones who don't.

[@sb129gaming]

Thanks bro, tried to make it as quick as possible 👍

[@sdpr_5]

Quick and to the point

[@Zylx_O]

Note: To all those who have an amd gpu like me and are experiencing the weird seizure glitching effect in between one of the parts of the tutorial level press F5 and it will be gone.

[@DarkSaturno]

[@Darksonic786H4S4D]

[@dailydelphox]

Some other mods I can't recommend enough are the ones meant to fix some lighting issues Xenia has with Unleashed. Some areas are more dim than they should be or lack proper lighting effects, but there's a mod that fixes this for Eggmanland, and another mod that fixes this for everywhere else in the game.

[@real_xix]

Hey dude! Just wanna say this was an awesome tutorial! And definitely helped people out! Your editing and scripting makes things real simple. If I can ask, could you do a tutorial for Sonic 06? No idea of it’s exactly the same or different, but I would love the mod loader for the game and on Xenia canary there’s a bug where the game runs EXTREMLY fast. So I’m not sure if there’s a mod for that lol. I’ve just been using the original Xenia app for 06 because there it runs fine. No worries if you don’t want to I’m just asking, great video!

[@sb129gaming]

Thanks 🙏 I might do a Sonic 06 one sometime, will definitely consider that 👍

Is it possible to change the controls than what is set on the Xenia emulator? If so, how and where to change the controls?

you mean different button inputs? no clue, if what you’re trying to do is map the homing attack to A-A like in generations instead of the A-X of unleashed, there’s a mod for that 👍

when i download the iso off the website its a zip file and cannot be placed in the iso extract. I unzipped the file and put it into a folder like the video showed but iso is then not extracted an empty folder just appears in the xenia canary folder .

There's too many graphical bugs , crashes and the framerate doesn't feel like 60 fps ( my pc should be strong enough for 60 fps at least for 1080p but I was using 720p ) I tried DX12 ( it crashed ~1 minute in stage 1) and vulkan ( vulkan was freezing every 3 seconds as if it was compiling shaders ) .
