How to run this game on Windows 10

To solve this problem, please check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja2thg2KzRs
(or write "Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing | Windows 10 (Steam) Startup Crash Fix Tutorial" on YouTube).
This video really helped me to run this game on Windows 10.
All credits go to him and those on Steam who have discovered this problem.
This guide is just a summary for newcomers.

Config Settings:
The first thing you have to do is starting the game. A pop-up window will appear. Play Sonic and SEGA All Star Racing and Sonic and SEGA All Star Racing - Config.
Select Sonic and SEGA All Star Racing - Config.

You will see this little window:

If you want to play this game on a powerful PC/laptop, select
Display:

(select your graphic card, mine is NVidia Geforce RTX 3070 Laptop)
Resulution to 1920x1080 @ 60Hz.

General:

(select your language, I picked English)
Texture Resolution: High
Shadows: High
Low Detail Models: Four Player
Widescreen
Vertical Sync
Soft Particles
Motion Blur

(If you have a low end PC/laptop, select the graphic settings to Low.)

If you still can't run this game, you have to change your sound settings.

Sound Settings:
1) Go to your Windows Bar and search the sound settings.
2) Right click it and select "Open Sound Settings".
3) Click "Device properties".
4) Click "Additional device properties".
5) Go to "Advanced"
6) Select "16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)" and click on "Apply".

If you have followed these steps (or watched the video on YouTube), then run this game.

After you have done all these steps, you should be able to run this game on Windows 10.

!!Attention!!

Please be aware that you CANNOT play this game in WINDOWED MODE. Only in Fullscreen.

Did you know...?

This game does not have Steam Cloud support. Unfortunately. :(

The name of your save file is "ssr_save.bin".

Location:
Go to Windows Explorer -> Your memory (D: (example)-> Program (mabe you'll see x86) -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Sonic and SEGA All Stars Racing

It is recommended to back up your save file on a portable hard drive or an USB stick. So you don't have to start all over again if you buy a new PC/laptop.

Finished!

Thank you so much for taking your time to read this guide. Enjoy Sonic and SEGA All Star Racing and have a nice day.

If you have any questions, please let me know down in the comments below.

Great helpful guide.
You need to select Sonic and "SEGA All Stars Racing - Config" on the first steam window when launching the game.
But you can do it too from your library : right click on your game, then properties. After that you can choose your starting option from there, in the "general" tab

Hello ! So recently, i've bought the game to enjoy it again, but i came across a problem..
Here's how it went :

I booted up the game, everything was fine, i was beginning the first cup, played 2 laps of whale lagoon, but around the 3rd lap, my game started to freeze from time to time, THEN froze completely, and hear the music cutting and comming back frequently, and then it CRASHED.

I've looked at the pinned discussion of the game about the bug fixes, downloaded this and that, i updated some of my pc stuff, but nothing seems to work... Can anyone help me with this ?

Here's my PC configuration:

RTX 3070 ti
Intel core i7
Windows 11
From Acer

Hey, having an issue with the game crashing whenever I'm playing. For no reason, and I don't know from where it is from. Sometimes I can play a full race, sometimes it doesn't even let me finish it and crash...

The issue as far as I know is linked to the video files. Renaming the "Movie" folder allows the game to get to the main menu.
