Just noticed you can make a copy of saintsrowthethird_dx11.exe, rename it to game_launcher.exe (just rename the original to something else) and Steam will just load into it automatically. Should probably redo this if/when the game ever updates.
In the videos folder you can make blank bik files (rename a blank text document) named logo_thq_and_voli_hd.bik and logo_amd_hd.bik to skip the opening logos. They do mask the loading into the main menu though so you'll just be looking at a loading screen as a result.
Looks like capture.srtt_framedump and capture.srtt_audiodump are the leftovers of whenever you enable replay mode. Don't think there's a way to clear them out ingame but they can take up a good bit of space.
Here are the notes in the display.ini

Extremely low framerate (less than two frames a second) could be due to low video memory.
* Resolution is the biggest factor in video memory usage.
* Lighting detail has a major effect on memory usage.
It effects lighting quality slightly, but turning it to low will also turn off advanced depth of field.
* At high resolutions, anti-aliasing modes can result in high memory usage.
* Shadows and Ambient Occlusion have a minor effect on video memory usage.
Poor frame rate on low-end CPUs can be aided by the following options.
* Scene detail has the biggest effect on CPU performance and visuals. The low setting here should be a last resort.
* Reflections can have an effect if they are turned off.
* Shadows will improve CPU performance if turned off, but will seriously affect visuals.
Poor frame rate on low-end GPUs can be aided by the following options.
* The presets are geared toward GPU performance. Using auto-detect should choose settings appropriate for your GPU.
* Resolution and lighting detail have the biggest effect.
* Post processing has a major effect on GPU performance when set to high.

So are weapon executions out? I thought those were awesome in SR2. I cant find anyway to do them. Im thinking they might be a weapon upgrade for some reason? Or did they nix them?

Sounds like you guys should contact THQ then if your codes are only one letter.
Oh man, this is shit hot! I've always liked the SR series but they finally conquered the two things that were holding the first two games back:
- The controls are tight now, no more twitchy jank running or driving. Really stable. I'm impressed. Driving is awesome.
- The game looks GOOD. Great, even. I'm playing with all Ultra settings on my GTX 470, 8GB RAM, AMD Phenom II, for what it's worth. YMMV.
Too much cut scene QTE-type gameplay in the beginning intro, but that's done in about 10 minutes.
Playing on the Hardcore difficulty so far, seems suitably difficult, head shots are crucial. I already died on the first non-cut scene mission.
The sound is kinda fucked up, I can barely hear car noises, gun shots, reloads, etc., but I'm not sure if that's the game or my setup. I'm switching to headphones next to find out.
Back to it! Woo! Very happy so far.

Think this game really hates the crappy processor in my laptop (2.00 GHz C2D) more than my old GPU (GTX 260m). Put settings onto low and still was getting a lousy framerate. Just tried OC'ing the CPU a bit to 2.3 and it made a world of difference; game actually runs decent on the default medium settings now, which is good enough for me. Just going to monitor my temps hoping nothing gets too out of control.

I cant believe my 4870 wants to default me to low. I can handle high on all settings except shadows and it hovers between 30-40 fps, and hits 50-60 inside buildings/certain camera angles.

This game is amazing
I mean, don't get me wrong. It's a janky, unpolished experience.

Ps3-Version arrived. Now I'm curious if my prejudice were justified
Anyone have luck uploading screen shots yet? Nothing is under my account at the Saints Row website. I guess it's not active yet. I took some hilarious shots, hope they show up!
Also, I bumped the difficulty down from Hardcore to Normal. I like the level of difficulty for activities, but the missions are hard as hell on Hardcore. The one with the
, only the 2nd or 3rd mission in the game, took me six tries to beat.
So good! I haven't had this much fun with a new full priced game in quite a while.

Ok, so first off-
This game is awesome. Everything feels so much better than the previous games. The controls are really solid. I'd say they got rid of all the jank from sr2 and have a competent shooting model. There's much more weight to everything.
The graphics are quite nice too.
Overall I'm very impressed.
Buuuuuuuut!
I've encountered a bug that possibly ruins the game for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it something with my configuration? I uploaded a video.

I've played for about 6 hours so far. Ive only done a few missions because ive been having so much fun exploring and screwing around
Does anyone know what the deal is with piloting an aircraft? I couldnt move to camera around to the side or front of the plane when I was flying it (360 ver). The camera was totally fixed in place. Of course you can move the camera in cars or even helicoptors, but not in planes?
I hope its just a bug Volition will fix. Its damn annoying.

Camel toe?
So the 360 DLC is region locked. Well it was the case with the first two games so nothing new except that you can't even activate the online pass if it doesn't match your region.
I'm from Germany and want my game uncut and have to go VPN and shit just to activate online play. WTF.
They have just gone from buy at full price to not buy at all.

Does anyone not care about their Professor Genki code for 360? I didn't realize buying the game at KMart wouldn't get me it
