Windows 7: Saints Row 2 on Windows 7

Sigh... I can't play it. When I first installed it I had problems with the game's speed. I fixed it with Saints Row 2 Powertools. Got a perfect synch, but after I got the game at normal speed it started crashing. Namely, every time I end a mission (any mission, before the cutscene starts). Has anyone managed to fix the crashes? I know many could play the game with no problems on Windows 7 after using Powertools.



The devs won't give support to players on windows 7 btw... they're cool like that.

You need to compare the game's system requirements to what you actually have.....

It basically looks like your system doesn't meet the game's requirements. And based on what you list as system specs, it looks like you have a lap top, so no, you probably can't update the hardware on it. However, the manufacturer can give you a more definitive answer to hardware upgrades than I can.

As to Windows 7 support, well since the game was released before Windows 7 came out, tech support is using their "get out of jail free" by blaming Windows 7 for the issues you have, even if it's not Windows 7 fault.

Good luck.

I wouldn't hurry to blame the specs for this one either, for two reasons: First, without using powertools to speedhack the game into normality, I can play the game on max details with 25 FPS, which is good. I took out some eyecandy anyway because it doesn't please my eyes and gives me extra FPS. Second, I used to play this on my desktop PC, which was far inferior to what I have right now.

I have to admit though, it probably is something hardware related since many people manage to play the game. I'm just trying to figure out what exactly is causing it. Until I find out, I guess I'm stuck with waiting for some new drivers.
