Frame rate (FPS)

Remove multiple FPS Caps[citation needed]

This process must be performed each time the game is launched to take effect. Download and run Cheat Engine. Go to the main menu. Set Executable, Writable and CopyOnWrite to Don't Care and memory scan option to SaintsRowGatOutOfHell.exe. Disable the Fast Scan option and search for the value 0.00833333 as a float in rounded (extreme) mode. Select all values. Disable the Fast Scan option and search for the value 0.03333333 as a float in rounded (extreme) mode. Select all values. Disable the Fast Scan option and search for the value 0.01666666 as a float in rounded (extreme) mode. Select all values. Disable the Fast Scan option and search for the value 0.00833333 as a double in rounded (extreme) mode. Select all values. Disable the Fast Scan option and search for the value 0.03333333 as a double in rounded (extreme) mode. Select all values. Disable the Fast Scan option and search for the value 0.01666666 as a double in rounded (extreme) mode. Select all values. Set the all the values to (1/FPS), see below for example: 0.00694444 for 144 FPS (floats). 0.00277777 for 360 FPS (floats). 0.00256410 for 390 FPS (floats). 0.0069444444444444 for 144 FPS (doubles). 0.0027777777777777 for 360 FPS (doubles). 0.0025641025641026 for 390 FPS (doubles). A few 30 FPS caps cannot be removed with this method without crashing; such as character rotations in regards to mouse movements, "The Halo Powered Beatdowns" and "The Archduke's Death" animations and they will appear as if they're heavily stuttering at higher rates; especially if output frame rate is not divisible by 30. Recommend using the in-game triple buffered v-sync for improved frame pacing, at the cost of slightly increased input latency for lower frame rate values.

Generic/other controllers

Lock game icons so they don't switch between mouse, keyboard, or gamepad

1. Open up display.ini located in the game directory with notepad [1]
2. Change UIController Style
3. UIControllerStyle = 0 will result in default behavior. The game will automatically switch between kb/m and gamepad displays.
4. UIControllerStyle = 1 will lock the UI to kb/m displays. You will never see (A), or (LB), or anything like that, it’s always kb/m.
5. UIControllerStyle = 2 will lock the UI to gamepad displays. You will never see any keyboard keys, or even the mouse cursor.

Issues fixed

Fails to Launch / Hangs / Freezes After Intro

Move the installation[citation needed]
If the game is installed in a storage drive other than C:, move it to a new or existing Steam Library on C:.

Restart the computer[citation needed]
This issue can be caused by an unknown factor that disappears when restarting the computer.

Corrupted/Invalid save

Remove saved games
This fix will erase saved games in Saints Row IV. Delete files in <Steam-folder>/userdata/<user-id>/206420/remote. If these files are restored by Steam Cloud Sync, you can open them in a text editor and save them as blank files. You may also need to disable steam cloud synchronization. Delete <Steam-folder>/userdata/<user-id>/206420/remotecache.vdf
