What is Juiced Patch?

it's a collaboration of fixes and enhancements for Saints Row 2 created by Uzis, Tervel, Clippy95 and Scanti using an inject-able DLL file running using the Monkey Patch framework backend by Scanti, it works by altering the game's code at run-time which isn't implementable by any other means.

What types of features and fixes does Juiced provide?

While not encompassing all fixes/features read Featured Fixes

Installation

Simply drag all of the contents in the zip file of the Juiced Patch version you just installed (besides readme.txt) into your Saints Row 2 folder, edit and configure juiced.ini or edit options from within the game, run your game. It's as simple as that.

Mod Compatibility

Does Juiced work with GOTR/Gentlemen of the Row/X/Y/Z/.. mod?

In short yes, Juiced even has a way to load loose files! - but.

Gentlemen of the Row

Yes, GOTR is compatible with Juiced (as per Modding note), although..

While GOTR is a fantastic overhaul compilation. if your main reason installing it is due to any promised stability or performance fixes

!!!IT DOES NOT ACHIEVE THAT!!! Again as per the note below, most mods that modify content files are just incapable of providing any functional fixes (such as performance improvements) Only semi-confirmed fix from Gentlemen of the Row is an attempt to fix the cutscenes crashing in the mission Orange Threat Level, the late IdolNinja achieved this by simply changing how the cutscene string is called within the mission's LUA and then applying that to all other cutscenes as well, keeping in mind that this exact crash has not been able to be reproduced on any instance of Saints Row 2 running on modern operating systems, and thus no crash log of it actually occurring.

Modding note

Simply put Juiced works by altering the game's executable to change in-game functions, most (if not all) modify Saints Row 2 by altering game assets/files, such as xtbls(xml),LUA scripts, textures & other formats, all of which are incapable of modifying the core functionality of the game or any issues that it might have, although vice-versa is possible and within Juiced we do modify LUA files when they're requested by the game (as of now this is to do UI edits), but we mostly APPEND our edits not replace (other than resolution edits)

TLDR in theory all mods should be compatible with Juiced.
