Saints Row 2

Saints Row 2

Game won't start
All it does is show a white screen before closes immediately.

I followed these guides

Try uninstalling DXVK. I had the same problem with it not launching with it installed. I currently run just the Juiced Patch and it works great. The game will still randomly crash but not nearly as much and saving often takes the sting out it.

Removed DXVK. Didn't work. Crashes with or without Juiced Patch still. :(

What a shame. I really enjoy Saints Row 3, 4, and Agents of Mayhem. They said it's the best Saints Row game and I can't even start it up.

Can't even refund because I bought it with a discounted Summer Sale bundle with the other Saints game.

You could try what the last post mentions in this thread. They manually deleted everything after uninstalling the game and then redid it. Also the Qinilili patch would crash the game at startup for me with the juiced patch installed. I would try manually deleting everything and doing a clean install with just the juiced mod or no mods to see if it starts up that way. After that then IDK what other help I can give.

turn errorhandler to 1 in juiced settings, it should give you a error message when your game crashes, tell me what that says, if it shows.

Game crashes before I could get to main menu

Go here and download the 800x600 .dat file and place it where it says to and see if that fixes it. I was having crashes at startup on my ROG Ally and this fixed it. I hope it works for you.

disable any miscellaneous game controller drivers like vjoy, vjoy for example is 100% known to break/crash the game, you could also try to disconnect any controllers you might have plugged in
