Key points

Game lacks an FPS limiter or Vsync and causes a lot of bugs and physical glitches with frame rates above 60 FPS. This can be fixed with SaintsX (see Unofficial Patches).

Issues fixed

Installing on 64-bit versions of Windows

The original disc release uses a 16-bit installer.

Install with a modified 32-bit installer[citation needed]
Insert the CD. Copy the contents of disc somewhere temporarily. Download the InstallShield 3 32-bit Generic Installer. Extract the new installer into the temporary disc content folder. Run setup32.exe and follow the steps.

Running in DOSBox

The game will not run on modern versions of Windows.

Run using DOSBox[citation needed]
Install using the instructions in Installing on 64-bit versions of Windows. Configure DOSBox to execute VRUN.EXE with an argument of START

Game breaking glitches

The game often runs too fast on modern CPUs and must be slowed down.

Slow down the game internally
Use SaintsX which slows the game down internally through a patch. The patcher also comes with higher resolution and fixes to weapons, physics, and traps.

Slow down the game externally
Slow down your entire computer using a CPU-Killer. Your CPU usage will spike to 99%-100% - this type of fix is not recommended. Use an external framerate limiter such as NVidia Driver, FRAPS, or RivaTuner. Note that Saints of Virtue still may not be compatible with these programs.
