Saints Row IV Bugs

[soren7550]

So, Saints Row IV is now out, and while it's fun, myself and my boyfriend have found that it's pretty buggy. So, what kind of bugs have you guys encountered?

So far, I've encountered:

- Game freezing
- Menu locking
- Asha disappearing during her recruitment mission, thus forcing a restart
- Hack icons not present at stores
- Random audio logs playing as the game is loading
- Unable to select the 'Murica for use and upgrade
- Captions not displaying what the boss is saying
- Captions showing up and disappearing several seconds before someone begins talking
- Lips moving out of sync or not at all
- Skyrocketing and ragdolling after jumping at a certain point after a Warden's ground stomp

I've experienced all of those on PS3 except for the missing hack icons, but those might have to be unlocked as you progress in the game. Which platform are you playing on?

I've only encountered two so far. One was no big deal and easy to fix. My leg tattoo wouldn't go away. I just had to replace it with a new tattoo and then remove it. Worked like a charm. The other bug nearly made me snap my keyboard in half. The Genki heads during the Genki's M.O.M. challenge would randomly stop being affected by telekinesis. I'd have to restart the challenge every time. I was on my way to a gold medal and the last head stopped working.

Not sure what platform you play on but I don't think I've had any of those problems.

I'm on PC and I've encountered 5 issues.

One of the hairs was using a different model in the character editor than in the actual game, and at least 3 missions I had to restart because something bugged out and made it impossible to complete them. The first, an NPC stopped moving and wouldn't follow, so the events that were supposed to trigger would not. The next, some containers with missile launchers never spawned making for an unwinnable boss battle, and the last I rag doll glitched while using a mounted gun through some bars and ended up on a side of the level where I was stuck. And like you an audio log playing upon game load. Who doesn't notice that, really? Geez.

Annoying problems but not terrible so far.

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.

Only one for me, in the mission where you give Benjamin King superpowers I accidentally killed one of the people I was absorbing the virus from at the time, so the game thought they were still alive for some reason.

On PC, I've only encountered two bugs that I noticed. First was when Asha got locked out of the last room in her rescue/recruitment mission and the second was the game freezing halfway through the final mission. I also get the last audio log I picked up playing every time I log in, but I'm not really sure that's a bug. It could very well be, but it's so consistent that it almost seems intentional.

...thats not a bug (the genki thing). You are supposed to complete it in 3:30, not finish it by 3:30. I recommend upgrading both sprint and jump before doing the thing (helps getting to the places faster) and to do jump shots. Now, that may not sound like something that would help, but trust me, it does.

OT: The only real bug I've found is the audio log thing. It is just weird. Also, I always get Keith David talking about the aliens messing with america and him saying that he isn't saying he'd do better than the leader of the saints.

 

[Evil Smurf]

I've noticed two bugs, sometimes cutscenes don't trigger so It took me longer to complete two missions and I hear the audio for the characters in the loading screens. I'm on the PC too.

 

[votemarvel]

I've had the audio bug when loading, except I get Matt Millar talking about how he was recruited into MI6.

Then there are numerous game ending freezes when entering the menus, the loading screens that never end and I once glitched under the map.

 

[kortin]

I think my game locked up once.

That's it though.

 

[Diddy_Mao]

I haven't seen anything game breaking but I have had

#1. Landing/collision detection failure causing the game to treat me like I was still falling after landing a super jump. I could still move around, just couldn't jump out attack. Pretty simple fix, just went into the nearest lake and fell until I hit the map edge and the game warped me back to land good as new.

#2. Animation for entering the simulation occurred about 4 feet to the left of the actual docking chair.

 

[Dimitar Kirilov]

I have had 1 problem for now, and if anyone can help me pls reply...
So I finish the Mission where you have to save Kinzie, finish the mission where Kinzie kills Cyrus and after these I start the mission
-Keymaster-. I go to the target zone to start the mission and the loading screen comes up... And it doesnt load it just stays on that screen I would be really happy if someone helps me out.

EDIT: Guys, I actually found a way to fix this. So what you have to do is go right next to the target zone (dont enter it!) cancle the -Keymaster- mission (start another mission) and right when you are on the target zone for -Keymaster- start it. It should show you a video where Kinzie tells you what to do

There's some weird lag spikes that many people experience on PC and one bug that seems to be unique to me. Geometry was stretched across my screen to the point where it looked like I had a trippy full screen effect. Didn't affect menu's and it cleared with a restart of the program.


After using the stomp power my camera gets locked 1 second too long(You really feel it when you're being shot and just standing there doing nothing).

#1. Landing/collision detection failure causing the game to treat me like I was still falling after landing a super jump. I could still move around, just couldn't jump out attack. Pretty simple fix, just went into the nearest lake and fell until I hit the map edge and the game warped me back to land good as new.

Oh, I had that too. I got out of it by being hit by traffic, anything that knocks you down seems to break you out of the falling animation.

SO far i've encountered only 1 bug, some guy with tons of HP that i was supposed to kill got stuck in a wall, so i kicked that damned wall until he died, it wasn't a big deal, just a bit annoying because at the same time i was swarmed with enemies.
(PC version)

 

[Floppertje]

i've had a few ctd's (most hilariously during the final mission. it was rather ironic). the audio log playing during loading screens happened only once. i couldn't find pierce on the ship once, but maybe that was just because they move around and I wasn't looking hard enough. Other than that, I might've had a few minor bugs, though it's hard to tell when you're playing a buggy game about a buggy simulation.
Despite the bugs though, I'm having such a blast! It's been out for 3 days and I've played for 26 hours o-o got all the activities, stores and collectibles, except for the clusters. now to finish the final mission and then on to screwing around

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

The only thing I have encountered on the PC version is that after a few hours of play yesterday, I started getting random artifacts on the screen. It's only happened the once, though. And I think it may have been more due to the terrible 320.xx Nvidia driver I'm using than the game. As to the hack icons not appearing at shops, did you happen to accidentally trigger an activity like a Hotspot? I had a hack icon outside a store disappear on me once, but it was because I got too close to a Hotspot causing the activity to start up. After I ran away from the Hotspot to get it to deactivate the hack icon reappeared.

 

[IamLEAM1983]

I've had quite the laundry list of minor problems, but nothing too serious. I've seen lockups, segments that fail to load (like Benjamin King's recruitment mission), lip synch fails, the voiceover for some of Zinyak's bio bits suddenly triggering during loading screens, or a bad superjump ending with me wedged halfway through the game world's bottom plane. Add to that a few framerate issues - as the game eventually ramps up its use of particle effects - and you've got a game that's maybe missing a week or two at the QA department. It's nothing major, though.

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.
