1. Install the file vcredist_x86.exe is in the directory D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\saints row the third\

2. Choose a game saints row: Third in the library and click the second mouse button, select " Properties", then select bookmarks " Local files", and click the button " Check cache integrity". that's all.

3. The right way D:\Program Files\Steam(strictly without Russian characters!!! ) or how? How to recognize video cards? - Start > Control Panel > Device Manager > Display Adapter. What Windows and how to find out the type of system: 32bit or 64bit? - Start > Control Panel > System. You need to install the latest drivers for the video card - or.

If you have folders with Russian Cyrillic letters, then do it yourself:
1. Exit steam.
2. Save 2 folders SteamApps and userdata from the Steam folder (move or copy) to another place, like D:\Backup\SteamApps\ and D:\Backup\userdata\ (from where the Backup folder is - just create a new folder)
3. Remove Steam applications via "Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features" (steam and games are completely removed, but SteamApps and userdata are saved in another place and that's it).
4. Download Steam Client - http://store.steampowered.com/about/ and install to the correct path D:\Program Files\Steam\
5. Run Steam (entered login and password) and a window pops up asking for a code from the mailbox (e-mail).
6. Exit steam.
7. 2 folders SteamApps and userdata (where you saved the folders elsewhere) move to the directory D:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\ and D:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\
8. Fire up Steam and voila.

Here are your playful little hands finally reached Saints Row The Third, the main competitor of GTA and, probably, the most reckless game since open world. But bugs, glitches and crashes spoil the whole experience of the game? We'll try to deal with them.

Brightness is not adjusted in Saints Row: The Third

Yes, yes, there is some kind of bug in the game that prevents the user from changing the brightness. We hope that a patch will fix this problem in the near future, but for now we can only advise you to use a flashlight to make it easier to wander at dusk.

Saints Row: The Third slows down

It seems that optimization problems have not bypassed Saints Row: The Third. And if you get into the car and press the gas, then the FPS will drop even lower. Interestingly, the brakes are more common among owners of video cards from ATI.

Standard advice in this case:

• Switch to DX9 mode
• Decrease resolution
• Turn off Post Processing and Ambient occlusion, and vertical sync and anti-aliasing in the graphics settings. If it doesn't help, lower the rest of the settings.
• Update your graphics card drivers
• If you have multiple video cards running in SLI or CrossFire, try leaving only one video card - this helps in some cases

Saints Row: The Third won't launch or freezes

• Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP
• Launch the game directly from the installed folder, not through a shortcut
• If you are using Steam, check your cache game files to make sure none of them got corrupted while loading
• If you are using multiple monitors, then try running the game on only one
• Disable all background services except antivirus. If that doesn't help, try disabling your antivirus as well.

How to start a new game in Saints Row: The Third

It's unbelievable but true that some people can't start a new game in Saints Row: The Third. The developers claim that the problem is solved by the already released fix, so just download it. The problem affects both owners of standard boxed versions of the game, and owners of Steam versions.

Unable to verify Saints Row: The Third file cache

• Restart Steam or restart your computer
• Delete the game completely, download it and reinstall it

Controller not working in Saints Row: The Third

If you're trying to play with a controller and it's not working, then exit the game and reconnect the controller before starting it again.

Saints Row: The Third has no sound

Turn off hardware acceleration in the DrectX settings panel
If you have a 5.1 or 7.1 audio system, then try switching to 2.1 mode and restarting the game

Files, drivers and libraries

Each major release does not go unnoticed by the two largest manufacturers of graphics accelerators - Nvidia and AMD. And even more so, there is no such situation that came out new Mass Effect, but there is no specialized driver. Therefore, before setting off to the black oceans of Andromeda, it is worth updating:

A prerequisite for the successful functioning of any game is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to download quickly and easily latest versions drivers and install them with one click:

• download Driver Updater and run the program;
• scan the system (usually it takes no more than five minutes);
• update outdated drivers with one click.

Hello dear ForgerNode readers! By your numerous requests, I nevertheless gathered my strength and decided to write a FAQ for a wonderful game - Saints Row: The Third- the third installment in the Saints franchise. You will also find a surprise in this article. So, more under the cut, friends 😉

Let's start right away with the system requirements for the game:

Minimum system requirements:

The most common questions in the studio! 😉

1) I installed Saints Row The Third, I launch it from a shortcut on the desktop, but it does not start, what should I do?
2) The game crashes in the main menu, I can not play, help!
3) Game crashes to certain missions, what to do??

Now I will answer them in order.
So let's start with the first question. First of all, when you buy/download a game, make sure your computer is compatible with minimum requirements . It is because of this that many people get angry at their computer or at the game, and the gamer, having not played the game in this way, can simply give it a low rating everywhere. Fortunately, there are few of them 🙂 But if it doesn’t matter, the game meets the requirements, but doesn’t start again? Then try checking the compatibility box (Game Shortcut / Properties / Compatibility / Put a tick on "Run this program in compatibility mode ). But are there any such errors? Well, here you should already guess what to do, I just left it for last 😉 You guessed it, no? Update drivers, video card drivers and in general all drivers in your computer! Well, whoever guessed it will certainly get a gingerbread 🙂

The answer to the second question will be the same:

• Update DirectX to the latest version
• Install the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++
• Update your drivers its for the video card. It is the old drivers for the video card that are the cause of many problems in games.
• Be sure to download the latest .NET Framework

The third question is a little more difficult. The thing is, it depends on what kind of repack you have downloaded. A repack replacement is suitable here, but if this continues again, then you will need to download the save after completing this mission. But if you have a license - the same thing here - you will need to download the save.

If everything fits in the requirements and all the drivers are in order, but there are still errors, then read on:

≡ Question: I can't start a new game in the company, what should I do, help!?

Ξ Answer: And it also says when you click on a new game - "The session is temporarily not available ... and blah blah .." I know such a problem, these are friends - a bug. It is solved either by reinstalling the game, or in the following way, if you do not want to waste time:
1) In the game, in the main menu, press "Joint Company" ;
2) Next - "Play on LAN", after « New game» (if there is a file with autosave, then click "Proceed" , but before that it is better to save it, that is, pull out the save and save it for yourself), and select the difficulty level. We are waiting for it to load;
3) After loading, select "Start normal game" and we play.
However, be sure to save after the first mission. Download the game in the same way. So far, so, but if you don't like it, then you can download the game from another repack / torrent, etc., etc. But again, this is a big waste of time. Well, for me personally

≡Question: N The brightness is not adjusted in the game, what should I do?

Ξ Answer: There is no solution to this problem yet, we hope that the bug will be fixed with a patch, but for now, use a flashlight 😉 Anyway, this brightness does not bother anyone, but nevertheless, there are those who really need it 😉

≡Question: N The controller does not work, I can not play, explain what to do?

Ξ Answer:Take a close look at the fact that the controller must be connected before starting the game.

≡Question: N I can’t hear the sound in the game, the speakers are on, there is sound on the computer, what should I do ??

Ξ Answer:Don't worry, this problem occurs in many, now we will fix it.
1) Go to the menu "Start" - if you have Windows 7, then you just write in the bottom line dxdiag and click on dxdiag.exe .
If you have Windows XP, then use command line(Start/All Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt) and enter the same;
2) Next, select the tab "Sound", next « Section" and "Possibilities of directX";
3) And now turn off the hardware acceleration of sound.
The following may also help:
Control Panel → Sound → Speakers → Advanced (further - there will be a drop-down menu). Also, installing an independent sound card

As I promised, now there will be a surprise. And the surprise is that it will be two surprises 🙂
The first surprise how to remove censorship in Saints Row: The Third ?
Everyone knows that playing with mats in Saints Row is cool and fun, but "sometimes you need to remove them" or just play like in normal game without mats, i.e. see Saints Row from a different angle.
So, in order to remove censorship from the game, you need to go to the root folder of the game, there find a file called shaders_pc(for every firefighter you need to make a backup copy of it), then open it in notepad and delete the line datashadersstandardsr2-pixelate_c.fxo_pc (do not leave an empty space or ENTER in place of this line), then save and enjoy the game 😀

Second surprise: Everyone who played Saints Row: The Third knows that when you turn on the turbo in a car, the camera cannot be rotated, and it infuriates: D. But just recently I found a way out - download this patch (just do everything carefully, do not forget to uncheck the boxes, otherwise all garbage from Mail.ru will appear) unpack the contents of the downloaded archive into the game folder. All is ready! 😉

If you have any questions - do not be afraid and do not hesitate to ask! Just use it, of course, and everything will be OK

If you are faced with the fact that Saints Row: The Third slows down, crashes, Saints Row: The Third does not start, Saints Row: The Third is not installed, control does not work in Saints Row: The Third, there is no sound, errors pop up in Saints Saves not working Row: The Third – we offer you the most common ways to solve these problems.

First, check if your PC specifications meet the minimum system requirements:

• OS: Windows XP
• Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo/AMD Athlon X2 2 GHz
• Memory: 2 GB
• Video: 320 MB with shader model 3.0 support (GeForce 8800/Radeon HD 3800)
• HDD: 10 GB
• DirectX 9.0c
• Co-Op Play: GeForce 8800 (640 MB)/Radeon HD3800 (1 GB)

Be sure to update your video card drivers and other software

Before you remember the worst words and express them towards the developers, do not forget to go to the official website of the manufacturer of your video card and download the latest drivers. Often, specially optimized drivers are prepared for the release of games. You can also try installing a later version of the drivers if the problem is not resolved by installing the current version.

It is important to remember that you should download only the final versions of video cards - try not to use beta versions, as they may have a large number of bugs not found and not fixed.

Do not forget that games often require the latest version of DirectX to be installed, which can always be downloaded from the official Microsoft website.

Saints Row: The Third won't launch

Many problems with launching games happen due to incorrect installation. Check if there were any errors during the installation, try uninstalling the game and running the installer again, after disabling the antivirus - often the files needed for the game to work are deleted by mistake. It is also important to remember that in the path to the folder with installed game there should be no Cyrillic characters - use only Latin letters and numbers for directory names.

It still does not hurt to check if there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can try to run the game as administrator in compatibility mode for different versions Windows.

Saints Row: The Third slows down. Low FPS. Lags. Friezes. hangs up

First - install the latest drivers for the video card, from this FPS in the game can rise significantly. Also check the computer's load in the task manager (opened by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESCAPE). If, before starting the game, you see that some process is consuming too many resources, turn off its program or simply end this process from the task manager.

Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First of all, turn off anti-aliasing and try lowering the settings responsible for post-processing. Many of them consume a lot of resources and disabling them will significantly increase performance without greatly affecting the quality of the picture.

Saints Row: The Third crashes to desktop

If Saints Row: The Third often crashes to your desktop, try lowering the graphics quality to start solving the problem. It is possible that your computer simply does not have enough performance and the game cannot work correctly. Also worth checking out for updates - most modern games have a system for automatically installing new patches. Check if this option is disabled in the settings.

Black screen in Saints Row: The Third

More often than not, the problem with the black screen is an issue with the GPU. Check if your graphics card meets the minimum requirements and install the latest drivers. Sometimes a black screen is the result of insufficient CPU performance.

If everything is fine with the hardware, and it meets the minimum requirements, try switching to another window (ALT + TAB), and then return to the game window.

Saints Row: The Third is not installed. Installation stuck

First of all, check if you have enough HDD space for installation. Remember that for correct operation The installer requires the advertised amount of space, plus 1-2 gigabytes of free space on the system drive. In general, remember the rule - there should always be at least 2 gigabytes on the system disk free space for temporary files. Otherwise, both games and programs may not work correctly or refuse to start at all.

Installation problems can also occur due to lack of Internet connection or its unstable operation. Also, do not forget to suspend the antivirus while installing the game - sometimes it interferes with the correct copying of files or deletes them by mistake, considering them viruses.

Saves not working in Saints Row: The Third

By analogy with the previous solution, check the availability of free space on the HDD - both on the one where the game is installed and on the system drive. Often save files are stored in a folder of documents, which is located separately from the game itself.

Controls not working in Saints Row: The Third

Sometimes the controls in the game do not work due to the simultaneous connection of several input devices. Try disabling the gamepad, or if for some reason you have two keyboards or mice connected, leave only one pair of devices. If the gamepad does not work for you, then remember that only controllers that are defined as Xbox joysticks officially support games. If your controller is defined differently, try using programs that emulate Xbox joysticks (for example, x360ce).

Sound not working in Saints Row: The Third

Check if the sound works in other programs. After that, check if the sound is turned off in the settings of the game itself and if the sound playback device is selected there, to which your speakers or headset are connected. Next, while the game is running, open the mixer and check if the sound is muted there.

If you are using an external sound card, check for new drivers on the manufacturer's website.

GAMES Someday You "ll Return moved to May The horror Someday You "ll Return received a release date on the PC just a couple of months ago, but today the developers are forced to move the release of their project. Instead of April 14, it should be expected on May 5. The release on the PS4 and Xbox One consoles ...

Unfortunately, there are flaws in games: brakes, low FPS, crashes, freezes, bugs and other minor and not very errors. Often problems begin before the game even starts, when it won't install, won't load, or won't even download. Yes, and the computer itself is sometimes weird, and then in Saints Row 3, instead of a picture, a black screen, control does not work, no sound is heard or anything else.

What to do first

1. Download and run the world famous CCleaner(download from a direct link) is a program that will clean your computer of unnecessary garbage, as a result of which the system will work faster after the first reboot;
2. Update all drivers in the system using the program Driver Updater(download via direct link) - it will scan your computer and update all drivers to the latest version in 5 minutes;
3. Install Advanced System Optimizer(download from a direct link) and turn on the game mode in it, which will end useless background processes during game launch and increase performance in the game.

Saints Row: The Third system requirements

The second thing to do if you encounter any problems with Saints Row 3 is to check the system requirements. In a good way, you need to do this even before the purchase, so as not to regret the money spent.

Minimum system requirements Saints Row: The Third:

Windows XP, Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz, 2 Gb RAM, 15 Gb HDD, Nvidia GeForce 8600 Video memory: 256 Mb

Every gamer should at least have a little understanding of the components, to know why a video card, processor and other things are needed in the system unit.

Files, drivers and libraries

Almost every device in a computer requires a set of special software. These are drivers, libraries and other files that ensure the correct operation of the computer.

It's worth starting with the drivers for the video card. Modern graphic cards manufactured by only two large companies - Nvidia and AMD. Having found out which product spins the coolers in the system unit, we go to the official website and download the package of fresh drivers:

A prerequisite for the successful functioning of Saints Row 3 is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to easily and quickly download the latest drivers and install them with one click:

If Saints Row: The Third does not start, we recommend that you try disabling your antivirus or put the game in the antivirus exceptions, and also check the system requirements again and if something from your build does not match, then, if possible, improve your PC by purchasing more powerful components.

Saints Row 3 has black screen, white screen, color screen. Solution

Problems with screens of different colors can be roughly divided into 2 categories.

Firstly, they are often associated with the use of two video cards at once. For example, if your motherboard has a built-in video card, but you play on a discrete one, then Saints Row: The Third may run on the built-in one for the first time, while you will not see the game itself, because the monitor is connected to a discrete video card.

Secondly, color screens happen when there are problems with displaying the image on the screen. This can happen for various reasons. For example, Saints Row: The Third cannot work through an outdated driver or does not support a video card. Also black/ White screen may be displayed when running at resolutions that are not supported by the game.

Saints Row: The Third crashes. At a certain or random moment. Solution

You play for yourself, play and here - bam! - everything goes out, and now you have a desktop without any hint of the game. Why is this happening? To solve the problem, it is worth trying to figure out what the nature of the problem is.

If the flight takes place in random moment time without any regularity, then with a probability of 99% we can say that this is a mistake of the game itself. In this case, it is very difficult to fix something, and it is best to just put Saints Row: The Third aside and wait for the patch.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash. In addition, you can download the Saints Row 3 save and bypass the departure point.

Saints Row 3 freezes. The picture freezes. Solution

The situation is about the same as with crashes: many freezes are directly related to the game itself, or rather, to the developer's mistake when creating it. However, a frozen picture can often become a starting point for investigating the deplorable state of a video card or processor.

So if the picture in Saints Row: The Third freezes, then use the programs to display statistics on the loading of components. Perhaps your video card has long exhausted its working life or the processor is heating up to dangerous temperatures?

The easiest way to check the loading and temperatures for the video card and processors is in the MSI Afterburner program. If desired, you can even display these and many other parameters on top of the Saints Row 3 image.

What temperatures are dangerous? Processors and video cards have different operating temperatures. For video cards, they are usually 60-80 degrees Celsius. The processors are slightly lower - 40-70 degrees. If the processor temperature is higher, then you should check the condition of the thermal paste. It may have dried out and needs to be replaced.

If the video card is heating up, then you should use the driver or the official utility from the manufacturer. You need to increase the number of revolutions of the coolers and see if the operating temperature drops.

Saints Row: The Third slows down. Low FPS. Frame rate drops. Solution

With stutters and low frame rates in Saints Row 3, the first step is to lower the graphics settings. Of course, there are a lot of them, so before reducing everything in a row, you should find out exactly how certain settings affect performance.

Screen resolution. In short, this is the number of points that make up the picture of the game. The higher the resolution, the higher the load on the video card. However, the increase in load is negligible, so reducing the screen resolution should only be the last resort, when everything else does not help.

Texture quality. Typically, this setting determines the resolution of texture files. Decrease the quality of textures if the video card has a small amount of video memory (less than 4 GB) or if you are using a very old hard drive with a spindle speed of less than 7200.

Model quality(sometimes just details). This setting determines which set of 3D models will be used in the game. The higher the quality, the more polygons. Accordingly, high-poly models require more processing power of the video card (not to be confused with the amount of video memory!), which means that this parameter should be reduced on video cards with a low core or memory frequency.

Shadows. They are implemented in different ways. In some games, shadows are created dynamically, that is, they are calculated in real time every second of the game. Such dynamic shadows load both the processor and the video card. In order to optimize, developers often abandon the full rendering and add a pre-render of shadows to the game. They are static, because in fact they are just textures that are superimposed on top of the main textures, which means they load memory, and not the core of the video card.

Often, developers add additional settings related to shadows:

• Shadow Resolution - determines how detailed the shadow cast by the object will be. If the game has dynamic shadows, then it loads the core of the video card, and if a pre-created render is used, then it “eats” the video memory.
• Soft shadows - smoothing out bumps on the shadows themselves, usually this option is given along with dynamic shadows. Regardless of the type of shadows, it loads the video card in real time.

Smoothing. Allows you to get rid of ugly corners at the edges of objects by using a special algorithm, the essence of which is usually to generate several images at once and compare them, calculating the most "smooth" picture. There are many different anti-aliasing algorithms that differ in the level of impact on the performance of Saints Row: The Third.

For example, MSAA works head-on, creating 2, 4, or 8 renders at once, so the frame rate is reduced by 2, 4, or 8 times, respectively. Algorithms such as FXAA and TAA operate a little differently, achieving a smooth image by calculating only the edges and using some other tricks. Because of this, they do not reduce performance as much.

Lighting. As in the case of anti-aliasing, there are different algorithms for lighting effects: SSAO, HBAO, HDAO. All of them use the resources of the video card, but they do it differently depending on the video card itself. The fact is that the HBAO algorithm was promoted mainly on video cards from Nvidia (GeForce line), so it works best on the “green” ones. HDAO, on the other hand, is optimized for AMD video cards. SSAO is the simplest type of lighting, it consumes the least resources, so in case of brakes in Saints Row: The Third, it is worth switching to it.

What should be lowered first? Shadows, anti-aliasing, and lighting effects are usually the most stressful, so it's best to start with them.

Often gamers themselves have to deal with Saints optimization Row 3. For almost all major releases, there are various related and forums where users share their ways to improve productivity.

One of them is a special program called Advanced System Optimizer. It is made specifically for those who do not want to manually clean up the computer from various temporary files, delete unnecessary registry entries and edit the startup list. Advanced System Optimizer will do this for you, as well as analyze your computer to find out how you can improve performance in applications and games.

Saints Row 3 lags. Big game delay. Solution

Many people confuse "lag" with "lag", but these problems have completely different causes. Saints Row: The Third slows down when the frame rate at which the image is displayed on the monitor decreases, and lags when the delay when accessing the server or any other host is too high.

That is why "lags" can only be in network games. The reasons are different: bad network code, physical distance from servers, network congestion, incorrectly configured router, low Internet connection speed.

However, the latter is the least common. In online games, communication between the client and the server occurs by exchanging relatively short messages, so even 10 MB per second should be enough for the eyes.

There is no sound in Saints Row: The Third. I can not hear anything. Solution

Saints Row: The Third works, but for some reason does not sound - this is another problem that gamers face. Of course, you can play like that, but it's still better to figure out what's the matter.

First you need to determine the scope of the problem. Where exactly is there no sound - only in the game or in general on the computer? If only in the game, then perhaps this is due to the fact that the sound card is very old and does not support DirectX.

If there is no sound at all, then the matter is definitely in the computer settings. Perhaps the sound card drivers are not installed correctly, or maybe there is no sound due to some specific error of our favorite Windows OS.

Controls not working in Saints Row: The Third. Saints Row 3 does not recognize a mouse, keyboard or gamepad. Solution

How to play if it is impossible to control the process? The problems of supporting specific devices are irrelevant here, because we are talking about familiar devices - keyboard, mouse and controller.

Thus, errors in the game itself are practically excluded, almost always the problem is on the user's side. You can solve it in different ways, but, one way or another, you will have to turn to the driver. Usually, when you connect a new device, the operating system immediately tries to use one of the standard drivers, but some models of keyboards, mice, and gamepads are incompatible with them.

Thus, you need to find out the exact model of the device and try to find exactly its driver. Often, devices from well-known gaming brands come with their own software kits, since the standard Windows driver simply cannot ensure the correct operation of all the functions of a particular device.

If you don’t want to look for drivers for all devices separately, you can use the program Driver Updater. It is designed to automatically search for drivers, so you only need to wait for the scan results and download the necessary drivers in the program interface.

Often, brakes in Saints Row: The Third can be caused by viruses. In this case, there is no difference how powerful the video card is in the system unit. You can check your computer and clean it of viruses and other unwanted software using special programs. For example NOD32 . The antivirus has proven itself from the best side and has received the approval of millions of users around the world.

Suitable for both personal use and small businesses, ZoneAlarm is able to protect your computer with operating system Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP from any attacks: phishing, viruses, malware, spyware and other cyber threats. New users are given a 30-day free trial.

Nod32 is an antivirus from ESET, which has received many awards for its contribution to the development of security. Versions of anti-virus programs for both PC and mobile devices are available on the developer's website, a 30-day trial version is provided. There are special conditions for business.

Saints Row: The Third torrent download doesn't work. Solution

Such versions of games are not only inconvenient to use, but even dangerous, because very often many files have been changed in them. For example, to bypass protection, pirates modify an EXE file. However, no one knows what else they do with it. Maybe they embed self-executing software. For example, which, when the game is first launched, will be integrated into the system and will use its resources to ensure the well-being of hackers. Or, giving access to the computer to third parties. There are no guarantees and there cannot be.

In addition, the use pirated versions- this, according to our publication, theft. The developers have spent a lot of time creating the game, investing their own money in the hope that their offspring will pay off. And every work must be paid.

Therefore, if you encounter any problems with games downloaded from torrents or hacked using certain means, you should immediately remove the "pirate", clean your computer with an antivirus and licensed copy games. This will not only save you from questionable software, but also allow you to download updates for the game and receive official support from its creators.

Saints Row: The Third throws an error about the missing DLL file. Solution

As a rule, problems associated with the absence of DLLs occur when Saints Row: The Third is launched, however, sometimes the game can access certain DLLs in the process and, without finding them, crash in the most impudent manner.

To fix this error, you need to find the required DLL and install it on the system. The easiest way to do this is with a program. DLL fixer, which scans the system and helps you quickly find missing libraries.
