- The GOG.com version is considered the best one, due to the fact it fixes a lot of problems mentioned before.[citation needed] However it contains a 30 FPS limit, which can be removed (see High frame rate).

Issues unresolved
Multiplayer lobby for Gangsta Brawl and Strong Arm modes boot people out when others join
The network code for Saints Row 2 is extremely sensitive and when coupled with the speed and timing issues of the game it results in many people not being able to play together since it forcibly disconnects certain users when others join. It is almost impossible to get a full game going with friends because of this and SR2 PC multiplayer is considered inherently broken (except coop which works great).
