Another Important Note: Each sentence in the 'Possible Solutions' paragraph are different solutions! The entire paragraph isn't one big solution, but a bunch of possible solutions.

 

Q: The game doesn't work at all.

Possible Solutions: Your PC is too slow (You're too slow!). You have followed the steps wrong. Your PC is too old. Wineskin is out of date/not compatible with your hardware.

 

Q: The game works but there is no sound.

Possible Solutions: You haven't applied the xact_jun2010.dll patch which is shown on the installation video/installation instructions. Your volume isn't on/too soft. You have selected the wrong output media device in your MAC's System Preferences. Your PC is too old to support Wineskin's/Sonic Mania's sound requirements.

 

Q: The sound works but the screen is black.

Possible Solutions: Your PC is not supported. Change your MAC's system resolution to see if that helps. Your PC might be too old.

 

Q: When I select the fullscreen mode, the game crashes/quits.

Possible Solutions: You haven't changed the Screen Options in the game's Wineskin Settings, so please re-watch the installation video from 9:35 - 9:46 and see if that helps.

 

Q: The game runs very slowly/below 60fps.

Possible Solutions: Your PC's graphics might be failing. Your PC is too slow/old. Try changing the game's resolution in Sonic Mania's Settings. Turn Full-Screen mode off.

 

Q: The Mods don't work properly/at all.

Possible Solutions: Your computer doesn't support Mods. Try all of the Mods installation steps from the start. You didn't use Mania Mod Studio properly. Your Mod doesn't support it.
