Saints Row 2 Cutscene Fix

[RAND-1-100] Comments

For Saints Row 2 on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Your resolution not supported? So I recently bought Saints Row The Third on Steam and have noticed that the cutscenes run at a constant 22fps. I have been looking into this for 2 hours now to no avail. I have attempted every solution I have come across, including turning off post processing, V-sync, using Steam's Big Picture mode, I even tried launching the game on DX9. If you dont install the 'mod' (might as well be a patch) Gentleman of the row, your game will be unplayable. It sucks, but the base game is not playable until GOTR is installed. Hey we meet again:), anyway yeah the game is very broken, and even with the mod you will get some crashes (like 1-2 in total). The Anna Show is the first cutscene in Saints Row 2. The Anna Show logo Type Cutscene 1 Overview 2 Channel 18 3 Channel 17 4 Channel 15 5 Channel 13 6 Channel 12 7 Channel 10 8 Channel 6 9 Channel 3 10 Trivia 11 Gallery 12 References If the game is left idle at the Title Screen of Saints Row 2, a cutscene will play which gives a decent amount of background information about what happened.

SR2 on PC is a bad port. Needs an unofficial fix just to make the game bearable, and even with the fix, the game stutters when running at full speed, since the game seems to load data in an odd way. That said, it IS a playable and, with the Gentlemen of the Row mod, you won't have many issues (and I assume the stutter will disappear on a SSD.

[HELP] Saints Row 4 - Extremely Low FPS

After a long time, I have decided to reinstall Saints Row 4. However, for some reason, I am getting a very low FPS in Saints Row 4. I get 5-12 FPS in the main menu and 23-25 in game. All the fixes I found are either for AMD or for low spec computers.

I just installed both SR2 and SR3 and, while I certainly don't have the greatest video card around, it is ridiculous that SR3 runs noticeably more smoothly. SR2 has jerky framerate that is especially noticeable when driving, and most especially when driving a police car. I already installed the Gentlemen of the Row mod but it didn't seem to help - I would really appreciate any suggestions!

I installed the Gentlemen of the Row mod, too. I wasn't too satisfied, either.
I think what would be best is if the same folks who ported SR2 to PC would fix it up and redeliver it to us DRM-free. ;p

The PC version of SR2 wasn't the best optimized game from what I've heard and it's not uncommon for older games to run worse than newer games.
The best way to improve performance is to lower visual settings especially resolution, also turning off v-sync might help.
Another thing you can do is use FXAA instead of SMAA, you can enable FXAA in the driversettings and turn off anti aliasing in the game altogether.

Turn Dynamic Lighting to Simple or to Off. Setting it to Simple or to Off will cause some outdoor areas (during the day) and most interiors to be overly bright and glow-y (including in some cutscenes) but it eliminates lag and improves overall responsiveness. For whatever reason Dynamic Lighting seems to consume more performance alone than all the other settings combined, with Dynamic Lighting set to Simple or set to Off you should be able to crank all the other settings up with ease.
Download and install the Saints Row 2 Powertools. Installing is easy, just a simple copy/paste, run the installer and then you just tweak a setting called Speed via its text file. This is necessary because the game by default runs in sort of fast forward (it's still set to use the Xbox 360's processor), which of course affects everything including oversensitivity of vehicles, the Saints Row 2 Powertools adjusts the actual game/engine speed. I have my Speed set to .90 and cars handle fairly well though they're still somewhat jerky at lower speeds.

Add to the list of DEP exceptions. First had the issue with SR3, then later SR2.
This sorted it for me quite well - still got occasional spikes so take the advice about settings too.

Improving Saints Row 2's performance.. good one! :P
But in all seriousness, do what everyone else has suggested and install the Gentlemen of the Row mod and limit the game's framerate to 30 FPS via NVIDIA Inspector or Radeon Pro. That may sound bad, but in my experience it makes it less jerky in the framerate department.

I managed to get slightly better performance by picking it up really cheap for the XBox 360. Still seemed a bit sluggish and juddery.
