Mods
Alongside offering bonus content with over a hundred new items, music and customization options in-game, the Gentlemen of the Row collection of mods offers many tweaks and bug fixes.

Multiplayer types
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 it results in many people not being able to play together since it forcibly disconnects certain users when others join. It is almost impossible to get a full game going with friends because of this and SR2 PC multiplayer is considered inherently broken (except coop which works great).
