* Extract the contents into your Saints Row 2 install directory where the SR2_PC.exe resides It should be used for anything other than the encrypted Steam release: NOTE: Powertools will only work correctly with the encrypted Steam exe.Ĭheat Engine is a general purpose tool that can also slow down Saints Row 2, but has the side effect of desync'ing cutscene audio. If it does not you can still set a manual value in the ini like the old version: It seems to work correctly for about half the people who try it. You may want to give the new beta of Powertools a try that attempts to automatically calculate the timescale so you can avoid the stopwatch test. It also has many features for modders like print_debug support, realtime coordinate display, and logging: Saints Row Powertools was developed by Rafael Rivera and IdolNinja specifically to fix this speedup issue and is the preferred solution since it does not desync cutscene audio. There are two tools that can fix the issue: The speedup happens with CPUs that do not run at exactly 3.2Ghz frequency (the Xbox 360 cpu speed.) The further your cpu is away from 3.2Ghz (both higher and lower) the faster it will run. The speedup bug is something that is an inherent problem with Windows 7, though in rare cases it has been reported to happen on Vista. IMPORTANT! Many players have reported that the speedup bug is now fixed with Windows 8, and Minimaul confirmed it as well on his test box! DO NOT USE POWERTOOLS OR CHEAT ENGINE IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS 8!
