The New Sonic Colors: Ultimate Patch is OUT NOW - What Did it Fix?
Ойындар
The new patch for Sonic Colors Ultimate is here. Version 1.04 is out, but it's on the Nintendo Switch only. What does it fix? Are the seizure-inducing glitches gone for good? Let's test it out! #SonicColorsUltimate #Sonic30th #SonictheHedgehog

UPDATE: The patch also added a Godot acknowledgement to the credits, which I totally forgot to check (and also, 30 minutes of credits 😬). Furthermore, Sonic Official has announced there's more patches to come for all consoles, so I'll be covering them when the time comes 🤙 I think I might've forgotten to mention this, but the patch is out on the Switch only, hence why I only used footage from that game. Like I said in the video, a lot of work still needs to be done, as the seizure glitches were not the only thing wrong with the game. Let's hope that they're still working on the game!

The concern is how much more can they patch before it becomes too big for Switch, because unfortunately that’s gonna be where Sonic thrives most. Blind Squirrel is in this tight spot, I sorta feel bad for them.

or not…i heard that the engine Sonic Colors Ultimate runs on isn’t actually meant for 3D gameplay at all, it just made porting source code easy, so working on improving the actual gameplay elements that aren’t strictly visual like textures and colours is going to be unbelievably difficult. basically, there’s only so much they can do, and it’s likely going to take longer than you’d like it to.

As someone who was annoyed at how in Forces the metal poles also made the spring sound effect instead if the boing they do in every other Boost game, and the stomp sound effect happened as soon as you pressed the button instead of when you hit the ground, also like every other boost game, I sympathize with this.
I’ve heard lots of people talking about these glitches, but I got the early access switch version and I didn’t experience any of it. The worst thing I experienced was a freeze that I had to restart the game for. But that was it. I’m not saying they don’t exist, and it is a problem if a lot of people are experiencing these things, but I had fun with it. I hear so many people saying, “Don’t buy it it’s terrible”, but the devs are working hard to fix these things, and what people say on this platform influence people’s decisions, and cause all the devs’ work to be meaningless because these KZreadrs are jumping on the hate train because of a few glitches here and there, when in reality this game is amazing. Sure, Mario 3D All-Stars didn’t have many glitches, but all it did was upscale the quality a bit. We should be encouraging this type of remaster instead of tearing it down. Sonic Colors ultimate adds so much and it’s all so fun! I just wish more people would appreciate it for what it is.

I'm just so glad someone said this. This comment deserves more likes. Personally, I'm studying game development (especially programming) and sometimes the game can become hell. Just when you finish patching some bug up, your partner comes to give you 4 more glitches. Game development, even if it's a remaster, is really difficult and we all should help developers reporting bugs NOT in a hater way and encouraging them to continue patching the game.

DUDE THEYRE GOING TO MALE FUTURE PATCHES
I hope after they’re done with patches they add some quality of life stuff. Ability to have original songs and separate sliders for music and sound effects (if that could even be considered quality of life at this point) and those sorts of things. I love this game and I’ve never actually played the WII version, just the DS, but at the state the remake is in right now, it’s honestly more worth trying to find a Wii and a copy than trying to play this mess (or I could emulate it but that has its own issues)
Good on them for prioritizing the “Unlimited Colors” glitch. Now they can take their time ironing out the rest of the game. And maybe add Ghost to the title screen and the Final Color Blaster.
I love how the release has very bad glitches, and has a Sonic.exe reference.
I just hope developers don't forget about the other consoles versions. I've seen save file gets corrupted after the game crashing on PS4 and some glitches on Xbox One, which need to get fixed too.
It's good that they got the seizure glitches dealt with. Let's hope they can fix the other ones soon.
Jesus. And I thought the Switch port of "Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated" had issues.
Great vid. Here's to the next patch hopefully fixing more.
hey at least they patched the seizure colors, thats one of the most important things that needed to be fixed
The Wisp capsule on Asteroid Coaster is obtainable, at least on the PS4 Pro version, I don’t know if there are any differences between the Pro and Standard versions but I’m just pointing it out in case they are. I think the error here relies on the beginning of the act itself, since the camera is on an angle that makes it look 2D but we’re still playing on a 3D environment. In order to get the Wisp capsule, you need to jump to the right when you’re close enough to it, exiting the cart. After you’ve exited the cart you need to do a double jump and then if you move your left stick towards the direction of the capsule there should be a homing attack icon on the capsule and doing a homing attack will get you to the capsule, breaking it and getting the wisps inside. You can continue playing the level if you land on the first Rainbow ring which will allow you to progress normally. I know this is still a bug but I just wanted to point this out

Keep da uploads flowing
Doing great work Twip! Glad you’re showing that despite fixing the seizure glitches, there’s still more to do. Sucks that it launched this way, but here’s hoping this is the first of many patches. Loading times is a huge one for example. As a community we need to keep demanding for more

Well I found out that the tropical resort grind rail glitch is still there (the one that was in the Wii where if you switch at the right moment then you go if the rail and die)
dolphin + sonic colors iso = profit
I played the part where sonic skips the capsule in the slowest speed youtube allows and it seems to me that the problem is the position of the capsule. It's like the capsule isn't properly placed to mach the x coordinates of sonic, so he ends up bypassing it when he jumps. It also get me thinking... did they replace the position of objects in the game intentionally? and why?🤔🤔

Sad part is I 100% the game on ps4 in 12 hours but I couldn't get the Egg Shuttle trophy because of the constant crashes. :(

Hey I have a genuine question, you know that glitch where it can randomly just delete all your progress? do you know if that one's patched? I've been really worried about it since I've done alot in the game
Tbh I am glad they got rid of the sezure glitches first as they are the number one priority, rather than just letting it be until they could patch out everything else
I was able to grab the wisp capsule back on global launch, so that may only happen sometimes
Load times are depending on the console you’re playing on! Switch is slow, while PS and Xbox is fast AF!
RIP fish. 2021-2021
I hope blind squirrel and sonic team use this video to patch the bugs
I honestly don't mind the switch version dropping a few frames here and there. Either way, it's still playable. Although glitches that are present on the switch version could use some improvements as stated.
Is the audio mixing still terrible? I saw the glitch where music still doesnt play sometimes in the video but nothing on audio mixing (as in sfx are too loud)
im so glad the siezure glitches are gone. hopefully the new time they work on the glitches it gets rid of all the rest of them.
The pause menu here looks much better too...on my series x its all stretched out. And i discovered that Sonic Colors Ultimate does not use Quick Resume. I tried it, and when i entered the game, for a second it showed me where i had left off and then restarted the game. The first time this happened the audio got glitched as well, the other times i attempted it the audio was back to its poorly mixed state.
