You can only change the controls by editing the DefaultInput.ini text file. Read the README.txt file for more hints.

I don't know if I should ask you about this, but I'm gonna anyways.
I tried to open the Sonic Souls installer and it said i needed at least Windows XP Service Pack 3, but in the requirements it said you needed Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8. It wouldn't install the XP Service pack 3 on Windows 7. Do you know why this is happening?

You're right, this isn't the correct place to ask about that.

The system requirements belong to content authoring in UDK, the minimum requirements for playing Souls are wrong and unknown.

Hi, I really want to try out SonicGDK but every time I start the game, it crashes! Is there any way to fix this?

It crashes or the game becomes unresponsive? Make sure you're following the installation instructions exactly, and leave the game working the first time as it compiles all the shaders.

"The first time that you open the test map, it will compile all the material shaders and take a really long time."

Just... Wow.. It's amazing all the job you've done Xaklse!
I remember when you said that the July 2014 version was the last one, but you keep upgrading it :D

Well... Here goes the question, I know it can be a huge "NO", but well...
I came with the news that Epic Games is now distributing Unreal Engine 4 for free, and I asked myself if Sonic GDK is compatible with Unreal Engine 4.
So... Is it?

SonicGDK is feature complete, that means I'm just improving very minor stuff and fixing bugs while people notices the problems.

No files from UE3 are compatible with UE4, so... NO
