Connection types
Frequent Network disconnections
- Disabling the Steam overlay will prevent most disconnections in multiplayer[citation needed]
Issues unresolved
Infinite loading screen
- Verifying the game cache and a system restart may help alleviate the issue.[9]
- Officially there is no solution to this problem, and the save game is lost.[10]
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[11]
|
Issues fixed
Cannot get past "The Real World" mission
- The closing gates that appear near the end of "The Real World" mission may close too fast, rendering the mission unbeatable.
Lower the Resolution and Graphics Settings[citation needed]
|
Controls unresponsive
- Issue whereby the game stops responding to control inputs upon entering the hub menu.
Controller buttons glitch
- The symbols displaying which button to press during gameplay and quick-time events flicker between keyboard and controller when using a gamepad.
- Issue seems to begin when the player moves the mouse or uses the keyboard when the controller is plugged in.
Game doesn't save rebound keys
- Issue where the game pretends to accept a rebound key setup but the changes don't take effect.
Rebinding[14]
|
- Delete the default game bindings.
- Rebind to the desired setup.
|
Black screen on launch / window keeps minimizing
- Upon launch, the screen goes black for a few seconds, the game window minimizes, and cannot be maximized.
Launch in 640x480[15]
|
- Go to the installation folder.
- Right click on
SaintsRowIV.exe and select 'Properties'.
- Select the 'Compatibility' tab and then check 'Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution'.
- Apply the settings and then launch the game.
- Once the game has loaded, go video settings and set your desired resolution.
- Widescreen users will first have to select 'Widescreen' for their resolution to appear.
|
Crash after title credits (AMD users)
- Issue where AMD users who have installed the game on a drive other than
C://
have the game crash to a black screen after title logos.[16]
Move the game to the C: drive[17]
|
Low frame rate (AMD users)
- Issue where a low frame rate is experienced (especially in the open world), even on a high end AMD machine.
Installing beta driver[18]
|
|
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[19]
|
- Exit the game (game progress will revert to the start of Kinzie Gambit).
- Disable "Saints Row IV - Reverse Cosplay Pack", and "Saints Row IV - Thank You Pack" from the Steam launcher.
- Relaunch the game.
|
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[20]
|
- Go to
%WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc\ .
- Open
hosts with an editor like Notepad.
- Add the line
127.0.0.1 sr3.hydra.agoragames.com and save the file.
|
- This fix will also enable the game to use My Steelport emulator.
