I just wanted to let you guys know that there is a way to mitigate, and even eliminate the performance issues with SR2 PC if you have enough RAM. I'm the creator of the Gentlemen of the Row mod, and saw this forum post while googling for my mod. I recommend that you backup any saves in the C:\Users\**YourName**\AppData\Local\THQ\Saints Row 2 just in case. The Mod download is just over 4MB but extracts to over 46MB+, it is very easy to install and you can simply rename the 3 files that it replaces to go back to your original or you can use Steam to verify integrity.

I am using the latter and it is really nice to see the correct Xbox360 Controller prompts (shame on the Devs) in game. There are 2 versions of the Mod, a v1.6 - Standard version for keyboard and mouse users and a v1.6 with Onscreen 360 button prompts for 360 controller users. Even though this SR2 Mod is a compiled collection, I still underestimated the sheer number of changes It reminds me of the TTDISA GTA SA Mod a bit in terms of the vast list of improvements. The list of additions and fixes are really too long so I suggest looking at the link.Įdit: I have just read through the entire list of changes and I am completely astounded, there are so many great additions, fixes, improvements and extra features it is simply amasing! I just noticed this Mod that I have never heard of before called Gentleman Of The Row I also use the Cheat Engine to deal with the Windows 7 speed (too fast) issue. Despite the performance issues and the general dislike for the poor Saints Row 2 PC port, I still love and enjoy playing the game at a respectible 35-45+ fps rate at maxed out settings 8X AA, 16X AF.
