Saints Row the Fourth

[Grunker]

Setting everything on minimum grants me a whopping 20FPS if I stand still and look into a brick wall. Note that this didn't happen at all during prologue, only when the game dropped me in Steelport did it begin.

Lightning Detail is set to 1 in the ini.

How can it be a driver issue? My drivers are up to date and run SRTT like nobody's business :/

 

[Crooked Bee]

ATI here too, and everything runs perfectly fine on Ultra.

Low frame rate (AMD users) • Link

Issue where a low frame rate is experienced (especially in the open world), even on a high end AMD machine.

May be resolved by installing the new AMD beta driver, which reports a performance increase of up to 25%.[13]

Hmm, so the Codex likes Saints Row. Guess the Mass Effect parodies went over well.

It's pretty fun. More fun than GTA 'masterpiece' IV, definitely. Cars are sorta useless when you can just run or fly anywhere though.

I'm running 12.104.0.0 on my HD6870, mid-mid rig and it runs very smooth on medium setting.

I couldn't install the beta drivers. Is this because I'm on Vista (it says 7/8 on the page) or is AMD being a pile of shit again

 

[RedScum]

Sometimes newer drivers =/= better.

Anyone else relying on the pistol for most firefights? I can clear most waves of standard grunts with headshots, while sticking to the assault rifle for murderbots and wardens.

Good game so far, but I'm enjoying the cutscenes and characters the most.

I only use fully upgraded dual wielded Desert Eagles. Kills everything dead, even murderbots. And with fully upgraded freeze you don't even have to bother.

 

[Grunker]

I can't remember the last time I straight up haven't been able to get a basic game to run in a playable state.

 

[RedScum]

I blame ATI.

 

[evdk]

I blame ATI.

I have ATI and have 40-60 FPS on medium no problem. And that's on laptop.

EDIT: FFS They even have an ATI logo during start up, instead of the usual Nvidia, how dumb would they have to be at AMD to fuck that up?

So.....

I tried toying around with the installation because I was annoyed it wouldn't work. Used driver sweeper to clean and hunted for every single bit of driver-shit on my comp. Finally got rid of it all. BETA driver wouldn't install. Neither would normal driver. Fuck. My little 800x600 driverless desktop laughed at me.

Turns out the Radeon 4870 uses legacy drivers though, and fortunately I downloaded the latest of them on a hunch and it worked. So now I'm back, but no closer to running my (bought-and-paid-for becaues I'm an idiot) copy of Saint's Row IV.

Now, the 4870 might not be the newest GPU out there, but like I said I can run The Third on ultra, and changing settings in IV does nothing.

Fuck me

 

[Caim]

FUCK WHY IS THIS GAME SO GODDAMN FUN

Also, it's a bit of a shame you can't use your mixtape with 'Merica gun, thus preventing you from using your The Touch mode (guaranteed to make the president kick 200% more ass). The patriotic jingle is funny for a while tho, and preset music still overrides it.

If you like it so far, wait until you get to the end.

A scene you will get there will make the "I need a hero" driving sequence from the end of Saints Row 3 its BITCH.

The game was goofy fun...but GOTY? Hardly.

Disjointed story.
Underutilized world design.
Short Fun per Hour value (Hell I suck at games like this and finished it in a weekend.)
This is your grammas GTA 5.

Zep--

 

[Caim]

Anyway, I just finished the game.

Goddamn that final mission was annoying, the boss suddenly stopping disabling those things for no reason whatsoever.

Fun story.
Great world design.
Long Fun per Hour value (Hell I suck at games like this and I've played it since its release and I'm still not done.)
GTA 5 is a bitch in comparison.

Huh, I just realized that this game has something that the last one was hyped to have, but never got.

Spoiler

A fight with Phillipe Loren. During mine Gat delivered the killing blow (not counting the beatdown animation at the end) by hitting him with a giant ball.

Oh Gat, you . Never change.

Oh yes. Oh very much yes.

I wish Blain was as light-hearted as you are, Zep Zepo.

If only...

Well, I GameFlyed it..so maybe I'm not as someone who paid triple A price.

Like I said , it was goofy fun. I think it could have been better.
