Delete patch.vpp_pc and rename the back up back to patch.vpp_pc. For example, if you measured 81 seconds you would do 81/102.5 = 0.79 and you will need that number soon.ġ0. Do math: your time divided by 102.5 = value. If the game is running fine, it should be 1:42-1:43 or 102-103 seconds.ĩ. When you hear "GO" start the stop watch and hold W until you reach the first checkpoint where you will stop the stopwatch. Run into the race you're standing right next to. This is moving the save file you extracted to the folder that Saints Row 2 loads saves from.Ĩ.

Run copy_test_save.bat and make sure it copied 1 file.

use 7-zip to extract the Stopwatch test (link if you don't have it already): Ĥ. Backup patch.vpp_pc in the Saints Row 2 folder (I named it 1patch.vpp_pc)ģ. Instead you may have to ask the network administrator to how to port-forward UDP port 16000 to your computer.These are the four things I did to make Saints Row 2 run the way it should on modern systems.Ģ. If you are at work on a company network or at a university, you may not be able to fix the problem yourself. Unfortunately, it is not possible to offer step-by-step instructions here as every router is different. If it asks you for the protocol or type, set it to UDP. It may call this the LAN IP, Local IP, or Private IP.

It will also ask you for the IP address of your computer that the data should be sent to. In some cases, instead of asking for a public port, it will ask for a port range (eg. The port-forwarding configuration page will ask you for a public port and a private port. Port-forwarding tells the router to send the game communication data to your computer. Ask your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or refer to your router's instruction manual for assistance here. The alternative is to manually configure your router to do port-forwarding for UDP port 16000. Not all routers support UPnP correctly, however, so that may not be enough. You will need to enable it to allow GameRanger to make changes. This feature will allow GameRanger to do most of the configuration required. Many recent routers support a feature called Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). Most routers are configured through a web page built into them. If you do want to solve this problem, it will involve you configuring your router. One advantage of fixing this problem is that the "Preparing Connection" window will complete much faster. You will still be able to connect with the majority of players, but not with those who have Symmetric NAT Routers (which are not that common, fortunately). Your internet connection is behind a Port-Restricted Cone NAT Router that may prevent you from connecting to some players in peer-peer games.
