^^ Agreed! Even use a standard PC controller, it doesn't have to be a 360 one. The keyboard controls are hideous beyond measure.. but playing it on a normal controller is considerably better.

Do the old PC-GTA3 trick; have the controller in your lap! Use that for driving then switch to keyb/mouse for running/shooting Smile

When I use my PS3 controller Saints Row will detect it but you cant use it because the menu wont stop scrolling up and down (it acts like im holding down 'down' but im not)

it's a bug, not a calibration issue.
it's supposed to be fixed by the patch
from the patch release notes:

Is it possible to play coop with pirated SR2?

I'm getting a "unable to find any games" when trying to join a game.

Heres a vid I found of a guy with the exact same problem.

Anyway the patch added/updated the EXE file (Steam protected by the way and launches Steam itself when attempted to emulate via modified .DLL files that are usually used for Steam rips without touching the EXE files directly.) the Shader_PC file (Removed a few lines related to shadows and altered one other line, unsure if shadows look better or worse or if it's even supposed to help framerate.) and a new Patch.vpp_pc file (28 MB probably contains all updated data alongside engine changes in the EXE and those shader tweaks.)


but what happens if the old razor exe is launched?

fc2 & cod5 & possibly acreed can use old launchers with patched game files

unless the exe itself has the fps cap like nfscarbon (so i run 1.0 exe with the rest of the 1.1 patch installed)


the original sr2 exe didnt have a forced steam launch?

It did, using a modified .DLL file to fool the Steam protection just made the game attempt to launch the Steam program and if it couldn't it would just crash, same with the patch.
(Feel free to try yourself with the uncracked 1.0 exe, pretty sure it's Steam.dll from one of the many emulators and loaders.)

New EXE crack is necessary for the performance improvements and I guess the new patch file is loaded via the EXE.


Regarding the game itself I find new things to do pretty often, been completing various activities as I find them and unlocked quite a lot of stuff.

 Spoiler:
 


I also recently found that even larger vehicles can be upgraded or customized, just needed to find a larger shop such as Semi-broken.
(They can handle anything aside from the really big trucks with cargo containers behind them, bulldozers work just fine for example and so does most vans and other trucks.)

Downloaded the patch (I can link if anyone needs it) and installed it onto the Razor version. Works flawlessly! All patch fixes are included (my Saitek P3200 works great now, framerate cap is gone, game runs like a fucking DREAM compared to how it used to)

Now, with maximum settings (no AA though) and at 1280, I get 25-35 driving around and 35++ when running/gunning.

Woohoo!!

DE2, even with the tex-pack installed, loads in about 10s or so for me. Longest is around 14s. The downside, as said in the "post pc game mods" thread is that there's a LOT of loading areas Sad

Didn't expect the patch to work without the EXE modifications present, interesting considering the patch only affects three files or so.
(That new patch data file, updated shader file that might be the reason it runs better as it's missing some shadow related lines and altered others and the EXE itself.)

Perhaps the framerate cap was in a file somewhere and the game auto loads new archive files depending on their file date?

(I didn't link to it on the forum because I didn't know if it was allowed. It's the exact patch ripped from Steam and doesn't need a crack either)
