PC Crossplay now enabled + Free Upgrade + FAQ

[Deep Silver]

As we mentioned last week, crossplay is now live for Saints Row IV: Re-Elected across Steam, Epic and GOG Windows users! Your game should automatically upgrade to the Re-Elected version from whichever version you owned previously if you are on Windows, meaning if you didn’t already have all the DLC for the game – now you do!

We will update you all here when we have more news on the Linux version of this update.

Have fun in Steelport, Saints!

FAQ
Does this include Gat Out of Hell?
No, Saints Row Gat Out of Hell was a separate release, it was included in a double pack with SRIV: Re-Elected once but this is not the standard release.

I am in AUS – why can’t I play with my friend in another country?
Saints Row IV: Re-Elected has different content due to ratings in AUS, so you can only play with others on the same version as you.

Is there a way I can stop the upgrade and keep my version of Saints Row IV as it is?
A Legacy Version of Saints Row IV will be also be available via a separate Beta Branch on GOG and Steam.
To access the old version of Saints Row IV, right click on the game in your library, go to properties > beta and use the dropdown menu to select the version you want.
For more help with this: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/276C-85A0-C531-AFA3
However the differences between old and new versions will be minimal, and save games will be compatible.

When will the Linux players get their upgrade?
We will update the community when we have a locked in date for this.

Can Linux players crossplay now or do they have to wait?
Official support will come for Linux later – we will let you know when this is going to be available.

Will Mods be affected?
Mods should not be affected, and should work as normal aside from any special cases where elements of the mod may clash with the code of the game.

Do we have to create an Epic account in order for cross play to work?

no it's optinal to use Epic Account you can still use steam

No, you can't. Even "Legacy" version in the beta brach got updated with EOS. There is no way to play multiplayer through steam any longer.

The camera is broken when i exit the simulation and now that i tried new game its also broken in the first mission and makes it really hard to aim but the rest was fine.

Also if i try to load / save ingame it will get stuck and it shows no saves at all and only the background wallpaper but from the main menu works.

Is this game 64 bit now?

The legacy branch wasn't updated. They screwed badly and assigned THE SAME build (the re-elected) to both the public and the legacy branch.

It's most likely just an error on their part.

Does this mean the Century edition will still be available as offline installers when they get updated to the Re-Elected Edition on GOG as well or is it just for Galaxy?

Game crash on loading the old save, and new game doesn't start. I added it on epic as it is free now, and it works fine for new games, but crash on loading. So, it seems that there is a problem on steam version (I did verify and removed all mods, but not a clean install), and old saves causes crashes on steam or epic. We need urgent fix.

Fix performence

the game won't load, thanks a lot.

[Shadic]

Only getting 12 fps, played this game for a good 5 hours before this update to see how it would change after the free dlc dropped. Now you installed epic games on my ♥♥♥♥ and the game is unplayable? What the ♥♥♥♥ happened to this franchise

@Deep Silver,
i have the Saints row 4 (RoW) Edition meaning uncut, does that mean my upgrade will still be uncut/uncensored. According to the FAQ.

[Napalm Sushi]

Game now CTDs when I try to load my save

[SchneiderGurl]

So, after the update, the graphics were super low, and now there is a lag...I was at the end of a mission and it just crashed

[Timmy]

It's broken, and I did NOT request for it to change from the running version.
