Issues unresolved
Multiplayer lobby for Gangsta Brawl and Strong Arm modes boot people out when others join
- The network code for Saints Row 2 is extremely sensitive and, when coupled with the speed and timing issues of the game, can forcibly disconnect certain users when others join. The game's PC multiplayer is considered inherently broken with the exception of co-op.
Issues fixed
- The Unofficial FAQ hosted on the game's Steam Users' Forum may be helpful in finding fixes for any issues you may be having.
