Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds: New Update Crashes My Game (Fix)

How to fix it

1. Remove all mods – Delete every skin, voice, or other mod file from the game’s Mods folder. The crash stops once the game runs without any mods installed.
2. Launch the game – Start Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds with a clean installation. If it reaches the title screen, the issue was a mod conflict.
3. Re‑add mods one at a time – If you want to keep mods, copy a single mod back into the folder and launch the game. Repeat until the crash returns; the last added mod is the culprit.
4. Avoid skin and voice mods – These types have been reported to cause crashes after the latest update, so either keep them disabled or look for updated versions that specifically state compatibility with the new patch.

If it still doesn't work

• Verify game files again through Steam.
• Uninstall and reinstall the game to ensure a completely clean base install.
• Check for performance issues: if the game runs but FPS drops dramatically, consider that the update may have introduced new performance bugs unrelated to mods.

If none of the above resolves the problem, the crash is likely caused by a corrupted mod that you haven’t identified yet; a full clean reinstall is the safest fallback.
