I found this Saints Row 2 in free roam crashes only on particular map places

I own Saints Row 2 for like 5-6 years already. After several random crashes, I've discovered this the PC port (even with Genthelman of Row mod) crashes ONLY when I and my homies are on particular place on map!

(Shown of 1st Image)
There is a place where subway goes underground in Project District. Right to east there's two street underways below the highway. Be warned: the east one (marked with red rectangle), if you go with your homies on that exact underway, the game will crash for some reason... And seems it happens everytime you go on foot on that exact place! The west underway (right next to subway line and marked with purple rectangle) is fine, as going there will NOT crash the game at all!

There is a turn of the wide street on southwest Stillwater University District, right near to University Observatory. If I go with my homies on the street inside that turn or in first 100-200 meters after street turn, the game crashes randomly on this particular place, and only when I'm on the end / middle of street itself! Inside the observatory itself, on the park before it or on the alley after observatory, between the crashy street the shore toward the arc at entrance of Apartment District the game is stable and never crashed for me there, but on the part of the street marked with red on the image the game CTD after 1-2 minutes while staying on that exactly part...

So my recommendation are: if you're freeroam and not on a mission, AVOID GOING AT THESE PLACES on Stillwater map (marked in red) at all costs, like plague!

I discovered this:
Appears the reason for those strange crashes was... IdolNinja's GentleMan of Row mega mod! (Discovered only in July 2025!) I did tried with the JuicedPatch only and GoTR omitted and those crashes never EVER (!) occurred with JuicedPatch itself only installed! So, GoTR seems to be faulty and to be the cause of those crashes.
 
Yeah, that's fair. GOTR is quite an old mod, changing many files. It doesn't really fix the code of the game like Juiced Patch currently does.
It's worth noting too that problems could also be within mod conflicts or just the instability of the PC port's base code

And my warn is.. if you too much using Nclok missiles mod that cause your coop partner stuck inside building better stop it.. the game will crash instantly..


We do some test for This before and yep the sign of the crash is always the fps drops more worst to from 30fps -15 to -3fps then crashed
