Fun game with bad performance. Needs a few good patches to polish the game. You guys know that this game is capped at 30FPS?


Patches can't fix this kind of performance.



what has a 30FPS cap to do with performance ? A FPS limit is either hardcoded (most often the case) or in cfg/ini (soft).

It's not connected to steam in any way as far as I can tell. You don't need steam running to play or anything.

Looks like absolute crap unless dynamic lighting is turned all the way up, and this drops the framerate dramatically

Weird, for me the only setting that drops FPS dramatically is shadows, I can have the rest on max, including lighting.

I'd say that different video cards give different results and your core216 GTX260 should be able to handle most things easily seeing as it's one of the faster cards on the market aside from the overclocked GTX 280 models or the GTX 285.
(Didn't count the 295 as it's a dual-card SLI solution so that would be unfair.)

ATI might have problems with this title whereas NVIDIA might not, unsure as the game runs pretty well here but performance can be a bit unstable at times.
(Doesn't seem like the game uses Crossfire properly so ATI might need to do some driver work but what would that improve as performance is usually around 20 - 25 depending on where I'm at and what weather condition it is and max is 32 anyway, hehe.)

Beat the "campaign" yesterday and am now doing the final couple of activities, keep finding new ones though like basejumping (Ultor building finally found a use.) and flashing (Needs the flasher coat from one of the three "hidden" stores in the mall.)

I thought i had it working and installed tho drivers. But when I press the xbox button to...load(?) the controller, it loads, but it starts my xbox. I have my controller hooked up to my comp wired. Not wireless.
Now Im confused.

So please, again, someone who knows the solution, please provide it Smile


Are you using a wireless controller with the charge and play cable to attach it to the PC or are you using a standard wired controller?

Because the wired controller worked straight away for me.


U were right. Bought a wired controller and it works perfectly and the driving is SOOO much better. Same with GTA4.
Glad I bought it. Cuz I have a wireless controller for the 360 with a charge pack that has the cord thingy to charge it and another controller with no charge pack that runs on batteries (and it eats batteries).
Now Im set for 360 controllers and a PC controller.

ty for the suggestion/remark Smile

The wireless controller actually needs a seperate wirless adapter for the PC. It will never work with a charger cord.

So the general consensus is that this game sucks?

I like it. Its fun as fuck. Mindless fun, but fun none the less. Good to sit down and shoot ppl, rob shit, make your char badass, form a gang etc

I recommend it

What I'd love to see is a GTA-Saints Row combination game. Take the best elements of both...then you'd have a serious bad motherfucker of a game Smile

Anyway, try it out. Worse that can happen is you dont like it. But if your like me and like it, you might buy it (I did).

But I recommend get a wired (not wireless) 360 controller for driving. The keyboard blows goats for driving.

nothing wrong with the wireless 360 controller you just need the tiny wireless receiver for windows to connect it to pc (xp & vista) & it works same as the wired one would but as everyone knows wireless is obviously better than wired,i think he wants people to get the wired controller because he is using one.

With a wired controller, you just plug it in. I went out yesterday and bought one just for the pc cuz both of my other controllers are wireless with the charge packs and I didnt feel like buying the adapter cuz my bud works at the store where i got the wired controller and it was dirt cheap, brand new.
Works like a charm now.

ok finally forced myself to try it out too. As far as I've played I dont like it. The char customization was good, but thats practically the only thing I've liked. Graphics suck, physics suck, performance major sucks, gameplay sucks, sounds suck. Cant really comment on the story because im not very far yet. I know it has lots of stuff to do but the things that suck ruin the whole experience for me.

Why in graphic options there's motion blur twice?They were so happy with the perfomance and decided to invent dual motion blur?

I think it is listed twice so you can turn it off if you are using one of the presets and you only see the second one when you pick custom settings.

I could not get the character appearance cheats to work at all. I tried Shaundi and a few others. If anyone has any luck, any help would be appreciated.

As I understand it they're taken from a game file and as I haven't seen them before I do wonder if they were ever fully implemented.

EDIT: Haven't tested them myself yet but will try them soon and see what happens.

I just beat this game. My percentage after beating the main story is 55%. I also bought all the properties and taken out all the strongholds.

It's not bad. The car physics/handling is annoying at higher speeds. It's hard to control some of the sport cars. I gave up on airplanes. The UFO is cool though.

I haven't tried any of the activities yet. There seems to be more things to do in SR2 than GTA IV (which I have attained 100% completion).

The phone is kind of a pain to use. You have to enter the pause menu and then go to the cellphone. Then it plays a little animation before you get to the main cell phone screen. In GTA IV, you just push down and it pops up -- much quicker and easier than SR2. Why is it so convoluted in SR2 is beyond me.

It's also strange to look down a road and see several cars. Then turn away and look back the cars are gone. What just happened? Did they just vanished into thin air? This is most likely a game engine quirk. Another one is when you're flying. The streets are devoid of cars for some reason. Razz

I like how the game offers a shortcut key to quickly exit whenever you fall in a large body of water. Why didn't GTA IV provide this?

Now we get to performance. I've seen some places where the game slows down to a crawl. Like the mission where you get on a big yacht to assassinate a bunch of business men. My FPS took a huge dip. Also, whenever it rains, the game slows down.

Finally, why doesn't this game support 2560x1600? I find it strange that a 2009 PC game doesn't have native support for 30" LCD monitor resolution. You have to use Gibbed's SR2 Resolution Changer to change the resolution. That's messed up yo.

Patch being worked on, will probably take some time until it's release and so far there's no details on what's been fixed.
