Saints Row 2 PC Setup Guide

The official Saints Row 2 blog have released a guide to setting up Saints Row 2 on your PC.

Step 1: Check your video card drivers. (FREE)

I can’t tell you how many people forget to do this, and then wonder why a specific game won’t run properly. Remember that you need to meet our requirements to play the game, or you’ll run into issues. You can find the minimum and recommended requirements HERE. There are many video cards out there, but the best way to update your card is to head to the official websites for each manufacturer. If you do not know what card you have, there are a few ways to find out.

The easiest way is begin by clicking on “Start” >> “Settings” >> “Control Panel”. Now, double click on the “System” icon, then select the “Hardware” tab at the top, followed by “Device Manager”. A new window will pop up, and you should open up the “Display adapters” section. Right there should be the manufacturer and model number of your video card.

NVIDIA owners, head HERE.
ATI owners, head HERE.

Follow the instructions on their website, and the proper selections will allow you to download the appropriate drivers for your system. You will have to restart your system for the changes to take effect.

Step 2: Download Steam and create an account. (FREE)

As has been stated within our forums, you will need to verify that you own a copy of Saints Row 2 PC through Steam. An internet connection is required for this initial verification, but after that you will have the option to “Play Offline”, unless you want to play Co-Op or Multiplayer.

You can download Steam by clicking HERE. Look for the green box on the left side which states “Get Steam Now - Free Download”.

Once installed, you will need to follow their instructions and create a unique username and password.

Step 3: (For Multiplayer/Co-Op) - Download GameSpy and create an account. (FREE)

If you never plan on playing Multiplayer, you will not need to have a GameSpy account. If you do plan on accessing multiplayer, just like with Steam above, you will need to download and install GameSpy so that you can grab the server browser software being used by SR2. GameSpy can be downloaded for free HERE.

Choose the “Ad Supported” selection for the free version. Just like with Steam, you will need to create a unique UserID and Password. I recommend using a different password than you did for Steam, for a little added security.

Saints Row 2 PC Ship Date & Details

PS3 and Xbox360 owners have been playing Saints Row 2 for almost 2 weeks now, while PC owners have been left wanting. Well the PC version now has a release date; January 6th 2009. The reason for the delay is due to perfecting the game, which is essentially a console port, however, don't let that put you off, the game is set to be of exceptionally high quality, more so than that of the console versions. Below is a summary of what we can expect from the PC version;

  • Highest quality game across all platforms
  • The game is a port of the console version from an external company
  • The PC version is still being produced and tested at Volition with support from the design and programming teams as needed.
  • 360 controller will be fully supported for PC play, you will also be able to map your keyboard / mouse controls as you see fit.
  • There will also be a small interface change for Multiplayer. The PC version requires a little more information when connecting through a server browser. You'll now see each player's Ping, the number of players in a specific match, match names, and the ability to sort by modes (360/PS3 has this as well, but they have to create a party first).
  • A final addition for the PC version is adjustable video settings for aspects such as anti-aliasing, resolution, and more.

Saints Row 2 PC?

Before I fell in love with all things Xbox 360 I was dead-set on purchasing Saints Row 2 for the PC. Over the past few months most of the Saints Row 2 buzz has related to either the PS3 or Sbox 360 versions of the game, and it wasn't until I read an article on StrategyInformer that I realised the PC version isn't due out this Friday (17th October 2008).

When StrategyInformer asked THQ, they were told;

“The PC version hasn't actually been dated at all so I can't actually comment on whether or not it has been delayed or not.”.

A bit of a shame for PC users, especially if you dont own a Xbox 360 or a PS3.
