I remember playing that diversion, but I had it easier because I used the Handling mod and later the Gentlemen of the Row mod, which, you know, fixes tons of problems and nobody should play SR2 on PC without it.

But I do not like modding my games. I only use mods which fix the bugs and glitches, not the ones that change the game itself.

Gentlemen of the Row is customizable, so you won't have things that aren't in the spirit of the core SR2 experience. The Handling mod only changes the vehicle handling.

Playing SR2 without either on PC is suicidal. Everyone, including Volition, knows that the PC port was horrible, but that's because it was done by CD Projekt's localization team, not Volition themselves. Volition tried getting the source code to at least try and fix something, but CD Projekt's localizers never returned the calls.

I was already burned once by using a mod from saintsrowforum.com (something like that) which allegedly supposed to improve visuals by enchanting deatails, shadows and colours. My game turned into this mess: https://s25.postimg.org/6lvbxbm2n/Saints_Row_2_05.10.2017_-_16.55.39.03.png
Luckily I was able to fix it, even though it has caused me so much trouble. I don't need another mess-up.
For example, I have turned off the frame limiter prior to installing that visuals enhanced, but after installing the mod the limiter was foced back on, and i was unable to shut it down. Not to mention the displayed colours. I don't want that to get messed up again with any other mod. When I uninstalled the game, I was able to turn it off again, but then GOG Galaxy didn't recognize the game in the library. Then I had to uninstall both Galaxy and the game, and was forced to re-download the game again. Uh, it hurts when I remeber all of that.
Not to mention people in that saintsrowforums.com, who blamed that one on me, leftist manipulators as usual.

These mods are unrelated. GotR is made to be as bug-free as possible, and almost everyone who has SR2 on PC uses it for the bugfixes and mission scripting fixes that it delivers. The guy who made it is now a community manager at Volition, by the way. He knows what he's doing. How about you calm down.

Did you get triggered? 'Cause I'm as cool as ice.
