Problems players report

We read the 300 most recent negative Steam reviews of Sonic Adventure 2 on 30 August 2026 and counted what they mention.

What the counts tell you is which problems more than one person ran into.

1. Crashes and freezes28 of 300 (9%)

   Crashes randomly sometimes, has issues with frame/refresh rate speeding up the game, doesn't have good controller support without getting a custom Steam Input map and can't ever alt tab out of fullscreen.

   also the game crashes every time I unplug my headphones and I had to root around in my driver settings just to make it not run at 1.5x speed

2. Performance and stutter9 of 300 (3%)

   If you still plan on playing, I suggest you limit the games fps to 60 through your gpu drivers and disable full screen.

   This rating doesnt reflect that, its directed at the lack of optimization for modern fps and controls.

A further 26 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
