2021 Saints Row 2 PC Fix (Performance, Crashes and everything else)
This is the easiest and best way to configure your Saints Row 2 to have a solid framerate and not crash (much).
Intro
This is by far the best way to optimize your game, I've tested it on multiple systems with different specs and no other guide has come close to making the game perform this well.
Note:
Stuff like powertools and compatibility mode have been made obsolete by DXVK and therefore won't be included in this guide.
Starting a new savegame is recommended as GotR doesn't work well with ones that were started before GotR was installed.
Fixing your framerate
What you need:
- Software that can limit your FPS (such as Rivatuner, Nvidia Control Panel, MSI Afterburner etc.)
- DXVK[github.com] (Recent software that is a godsend for optimizing older DX9 games for modern hardware utilizing Vulkan)
Steps:
1. Limit your FPS to 60 (yeah I know it sucks but the game freaks out at anything above, I write this as a 240hz monitor user) and make sure VSync is turned off in-game and in your preferred software.
2. Download DXVK from the link above and extract dxgi.dll and d3d9.dll from the x32 folder into your Saints Row 2 directory (where SR2_pc.exe is located).
Fixing crashes
Keep in mind that crashes will still occasionally happen but these steps reduce them to a minimum and fix the hard crashes missions such as "Burning down the House" seem to posses.
What you need:
- Gentlemen of The Row mod[www.saintsrowmods.com] by IdolNinja (RiP) - General bugfixes and stability improvements with no costs to performance or stability if you use the barebones version (highly recommended and will be referred to in this guide)
- A developed frontal lobe to install GotR.
Step by step guide for GotR installation:
1. Download the Gentlemen of the Row mod from the link above and extract it into any folder on your computer.
2. Run Create_Custom_GotR_v1.9.2.bat
3. Press Enter to continue from the first screen.
4. Press V to build the barebones patch which focuses on bugfixes and stability without compromising either with unstable addons.
5. Close the .bat
6. Navigate to the MY_CUSTOM_PATCH folder that is found in the same folder as the .bat file.
7. Copy and paste patch.vpp_pc, preload.tbl and preload_anim.tbl from MY_CUSTOM_PATCH to your Saints Row 2 directory (where SR2_pc.exe is located)
Borderless fullscreen
Forced borderless fullscreen is a must have for minimizing crashes and cutscene problems.
1. Make sure the in-game setting is set to fullscreen.
2. As the borderless launch options command seems to not function properly anymore USE 3rd party software to achieve borderless fullscreen in the game such as Borderless Gaming or Fullscreenizer
Closing thoughts
This will in no way make this game run perfectly but it gets it as close as it can possibly get to it until we get the PC patch which is sadly delayed due to its spearhead Mike "IdolNinja" Watson passing away.
RiP IdolNinja, thank you for doing your absolute best in making sure we could enjoy the best Saints Row game and we hope the Volition team does right by you in releasing the patch.
