The only drawback here is that someone has to play through the game once to 'build' a cache that can be used by others. Another approach is to cache the system's raw shader pipeline and then compile the shaders before the game even starts. A mitigation to this stuttering is to compile the shaders asynchronously to the emulator, but this has its own drawback in that in the time it takes to compile the shader, the effect in-game that relies on it won't be shown.

The simplest way to do this is to recompile them at runtime, but that's slow and can cause stuttering every time a new shader is loaded in the game. Scattered around levels are golden rings that serve as a form of health: rings protect players from damage caused by robots or other hazards, though they will lose their rings upon being hit.Modern consoles and their games make heavy use of precompiled shaders specific to their GPUs, and these shaders can't be run natively on PC hardware, so they need to be translated or recompiled. Levels are populated by robots and other hazards created by series antagonist Doctor Eggman. Players run at high speeds around levels filled with obstacles and elements such as spring boards and boost pads. Players can unlock new Wispons and customization items as they progress. Additionally, there are “tag team” stages that play similarly to Sonic Heroes, in which players can alternate between Sonic and the Avatar and occasionally use combination techniques. if the Avatar is equipped with the Burst Wispon, they can activate Burst Wisp abilities. Depending on the Wispon equipped, Avatars can use temporary abilities by collecting a corresponding Wisp within each stage e.g. Avatars can also equip weapons known as Wispons, including flamethrowers, whips, and hammers, to attack enemies. In addition to the two Sonics, Sonic Forces APK for android introduces a third character, known as the “Avatar”, in which players are able to create their own custom character, a first for the series. The Avatar is created from a base of seven animal types, each of which possesses a unique ability. All Avatars wield a grappling hook that allows them to perform a homing attack, as well as latch onto special hooks to access new areas. Modern Sonic is able to perform homing attacks and can boost by collecting White Wisps, while Classic Sonic, in addition to his Spin Dash ability, can perform the Drop Dash move which was first introduced in Sonic Mania APK . Modern Sonic plays through three-dimensional stages like those seen in Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors, while Classic Sonic’s gameplay features 2D side-scrolling stages reminiscent of the Sega Genesis-era of games. Similar to the previous title, Sonic Generations, players can play as two variations of Sonic the Hedgehog: Modern Sonic and Classic Sonic.
