    I got mine to work perfectly! Just do the installation process above like normal, but make sure that “Launcher.exe” and “SonicRiders.exe” are automatically running as administrator. Also, be sure to replace the “SonicRiders.exe” with the one provided in the “No CD” folder.

    Here are three short and easy steps to get Sonic Riders to work fully and properly!:

    ~ Step 1:
    Right click on the Sonic Riders shortcut located on your desktop.

    ~ Step 2:
    Click “Open file location” (For those who didn’t create a desktop shortcut during the installation process, you can simply go to the File Explorer path: C:Program Files (x86)SegaSonic Riders ).

    ~ Step 3: This current step needs to be applied to both “Launcher.exe” and “SonicRiders.exe” (in the current folder), for the game to work properly.

    Part 1. Right click on the .exe file, and select “Properties”.

    Part 2. Click on the “Compatibility” tab.

    Part 3. In the “Settings” section, click on the checkbox labeled: “Run this program as administrator”.

    Part 4. Click “Apply” (located on the bottom right corner of the current window).

    Part 5. Exit or Close out the current window, and run the game with the Sonic Riders launcher!

    ~ Step 4 (Extra): If Step 3 didn’t work for you, then follow this step instead:

    Part 1. Right click on the .exe file, and select “Properties”.

    Part 2. Click on the “Compatibility” tab.

    Part 3. In the “Settings” section, click on the checkbox labeled: “Run this program as administrator”.

    Part 4: Also, look for the section: “Compatibility mode” and click the checkbox ” Run this compatibility mode for: “.

    Part 5: Click the dropdown, and select: “Windows XP (Service Pack 2)”

    Part 6. Click “Apply” (located on the bottom right corner of the current window).

    Part 7. Exit or Close out the current window, and run the game with the Sonic Riders launcher!

    Hope this helps! Have fun playing Sonic Riders! 😀
