Version differences
- All versions of the game are censored in Australia and cannot use the Rectifier DLC or play multiplayer with international copies.
- The legacy version does not include any DLC available in the updated Re-Elected edition, unless acquired separately.
- The Commander In Chief Edition includes the base game and Commander-In-Chief Pack which was earlier exclusive to this edition.
- The Game of the Century Edition (otherwise known as National Treasure Edition) is a complete edition with all DLC, including the Child's Play Pack which is no longer available separately.[5] The Re-Elected edition was originally a moniker for the console variants of the Game of the Century Edition, but as of December 8, 2022, it has been used for the PC version following the crossplay update.
- The GOG.com version removes most UI elements and all internal functions related to My Steelport service. It is not possible to connect this version to the fanmade My Steelport emulator.[6] The "Character Gallery" option in Plastic Surgeon menu remains, but selecting it will hang the game if GOG Galaxy client is running in background.[7]
- As of November 22, 2016, the Steam version features Steam Workshop support[8]
- The Microsoft Store version has a unique feature that allows saving and restoring customized characters locally, but is incompatible with any mods.

Issues unresolved
Frame rate locked at 30 FPS after beating the game
- After the credits the game will be locked to a frame rate of 30 frames per second.
Exit the game and relaunch[14] |
---|
Issues fixed
Cannot get past "The Real World" mission
- Low frame rate causes the closing gates that appear near the end of "The Real World" mission may close too fast, rendering the mission unbeatable.[citation needed]
Workaround: lower the Resolution and Graphics Settings to increase performance[citation needed] |
---|
Skip the mission via a mod[citation needed] |
---|
|
The Kinzie Gambit: All Hands on Deck
- Johnny Gat can't exit the ship during All Hands on Deck. He needs to open a chest to continue the mission.
- If the Genki Car in the previous mission teleports as it leaves the gameshow, you will encounter this issue.
Disable DLC[15] |
---|
|
Stuttering caused by My Steelport service shutdown
- The game repeatedly attempts to connect the now-defunct My Steelport service, which may cause the game to stutter.
Edit hosts file[16] |
---|
|
Ultra-wide Cutscene Fix
- Cut scenes on 21:9 will be surrounded by black bars and be missing most of the content.

[...]
The Steam Controller API support for Saints Row IV that was added in the update that brought Steam Workshop support is notable for being one of the absolute worst implementations of SCAPI in any game, but here I am to prove that even the worst implementation is still something that can be worked around and made to work well."
