Saints Row IV Bugs

[Frezzato]

I've had the audio log bug, although it's the same one every time; Keith David talking about pulling a Julius. Here's a keyboard breaker though. I'm trying to get the rest of my gold medals now that I've finished the game. However, the Hard level Genki's Mind Over Matter challenge is screwing with me. It's supposed to switch to a silver medal at 3:30 remaining. However, it keeps changing at 4:00 instead. I can't make up for that 30 second difference at all, The best I've done is finish at 3:50.

You're talking about the hard one on the Westernmost island? I couldn't understand the time standard and just assumed I sucked. I ended up playing co-op with my friend last night and we got gold for that event, which carried over to the single player campaign. It was the only event I couldn't get gold for on my own.

Only real one I got was not being able to land after a super jump and just floating above the ground. Caused me to fall through the map. I found that the stomp gets you out of it.

My daughter had a great bug while playing the 360 version.

She was fighting some of the cops, then aliens started phasing in by taking over the cops. They do that weird Matrix thing and get stuck mid-morph. So they're chasing her, taking cover, all while their limbs are distorted and jutting out in all sorts of glorious directions.

It was eerily awesome. Grimm and hilarious all at once.

Was she near a rift? That could've been the reason.

I've had a few missions bug making them unfinishable without a restart, and I've had my game crash a few times. I also DFA'd into a shield for the mission you have to collect batteries.

Didn't have any issues with challenges, they are all easy if you upgrade super powers.

I have no idea. I was bummin around online and looked up and saw what I described above.

Although I've been near a lot of those rifts in my game and have been unable to repeat the glitch. Which is kind of a drag. Back when I used to play Halo some of the greatest screen shots came from the physics freaking out in a similar fashion. I'd love to have a screen shot of the Xin soldiers hiding behind a cop car for cover while their entire contorted torso jutts out from behind said cover.

I had to downgrade my NVIDIA drivers, something about them just caused the game to act like a 3D movie, you know where you get 2 sets of the image a blue and a red? Dunno what happened but after playing the game for the first time I Couldn't get the NVIDIA control panel up to turn SLi off to see if that was the issue.


It also randomly crashed after fixing it. I have yet to find any other bugs as I'm finding the game hard to get into, the super powers kind of kill the fun for me.

If it was near a rift - ANYWHERE near a rift - the NPC's that go near it will glitch out. Going into the T-pose, having their limbs stretch and distort, their heads growing larger, their eyes growing larger, stuff like that.

Actually...(please don't open this if you're still in the early stages of the game)

Spoiler

That's part of the game believe it or not.

Yup, I know. I loved it, I found it incredibly clever to take advantage of stuff like that.

I played on the PC and I got :

- Audio Logs playing on game load (it was always the third audio log in Richard Keith's collection)
- Getting stuck in the geometry
- Wardens getting stuck in the geometry, making it impossible to finish them off
- Missing HUD (happened when I couldn't finish off the Warden stuck in the Geometry)
- Game Freezing
- Audio not synched with animations


Most of these problems weren't to bad though. The game auto-saves practically every 5 seconds so it's only really annoying when you have to restart a mission.

Characters like to glitch out of existence during romance scenes. It kind of ruins the moment.

I'm on the PS3 version. I've had freezes, a lot of them while in customization menus. I've had the artifact glitching that someone mentioned previously. It occurs every time I mod a vehicle, but I've also had it happen randomly while in the game world. It also tells me to "Please wait" frequently when I try to access Rim Jobs while it's auto-saving. Maybe that's intentional, but it's still weird.

Others (some previously mentioned):
- Keith David logs playing on start-up.
- The Collectible Finder will stop highlighting all items after getting into a vehicle (and it will remain glitched even after getting out).
- Had a Nyteblade mission fail because I was 'too far away' right as Nyteblade stopped (and I was close enough to ram the enemy car that was between us into him).
- Kenzie's conversation animations won't be there while she's talking (not a sync problem, as there are no conversation animations at all).

Out of curiosity, does the CID Homie actually do anything but follow you around? I've never noticed him fighting enemies when I called him in.

Yeah, this game is buggy as hell on all platforms.

- Getting stuck at the menu (game is not locked up, it just won't respond - usually just after saving)
- Total lock-up (game frozen)
- Asha disappearing during her recruitment mission
- Entering VR mode while still on the home ship when trying to talk to Kinsey (all characters vanish, but you still see the pop-ups for talking/romancing when you get into the right places)
- The girl who hates the 50's alien rpg bug.

The first one is really annoying because it happens all the bloody time on the Xbox360. Gotta reboot the console damn near every hour or two because of it.

I sware, if it wasn't so damned fun, I would have gave up a long time go.

Yeah, same thing happens on the PS3. If you enter the HUD while it's autosaving, it becomes unresponsive. Autosaving seems to be causing a LOT of issues. It's responsible for all the (unintentional) artifacting, especially in customization menus, it frequently locks up the game when exiting a diversion and when entering one (say you wanted to retry it after getting silver), the game temporarily freezes. If there was an option for turning it off, I probably would at this point.

Does anyone know if there's an official bug report forum/website?

I've had numerous problems. Currently, the MAIN one, and it's a pad thrower, is that whenever I go into the simulation, it won't work. Example, my character runs in place, nothing will load, and on the off chance I CAN do something for a few seconds, when it stops me, my character just floats in mid air.

 

[Leonard Schumake]

I have saints row 4 on the 360 and the last mission the girl who hate the 50's freeze up after Keith david says his speech and fight for few minutes it says go to the office then that when it freeze up at loading screen so please how I fix this and the disc clean so if anyone can help me let me know because I would feel complete if just on the last level

 

[DarkSeraphim02]

I've had a few glitches myself on the PS3.

I've had the menu lock up.

I had the game crash behind a loading screen once.

I had the weird physics screw up where instead of landing after a jump I'd be floating 3 feet off the ground neo style.

I've had an audio log play everytime I load up the game.

I've had utterly random ragdolling happen upon jumping, which I admittedly found amusing.

In co-op my friend has glitched out while jumping so bad that he'd go up, but not come back down, to fix this I had to get a vehicle, fly it directly under him, then have him get in and back out.

I've also had a bizarre glitch in which my characters walking animation switches, I play a female character, and sometimes, usualy after a cutscene, her walking animation switches to the male characters. This requires either getting in and out of the mech suit to fix, or reloading my game.

None of these have been game breakers for me, just slightly annoying or amusing. Hopefully they get patched.
