    Thanks to the developers. It’s immediately obvious that the team is trying to correct the mistakes. Graphics even at low settings has become very presentable, online is no longer interrupted. At first it was not pleasant, but the benefit of Rockstar is still doing its job.

    Сраный, лагающий и постоянно вылетающий кал! Я сотню раз за 4 часа игры пожалел, что качал это дерьмо 6 часов. Не задумываясь бы вернул свои деньги. Графика нулевая, интерактивность нулевая, управление кривое.

    Good that rockstar heard us but still half!
    Always need to take the right steps when solving problems and resolving conflicts.

    as i sad earlier:
    GAME CRASHES AS HELL ALL THE TIME (especially in SAINT DENIS at nigt time)! If in the suburbs you can play an hour or two without crashes, but not a fact, then in the city crashes every 2 minutes, it is impossible even to leave the city so that it does not fly out so often. We all always look forward to a game from Rockstar. We have been playing good games for decades. Ready with patience to wait for the port on the PC for a year or two. My config: i9900K, RTX 2080 OC, 16gb, SSD. We pay for the game and get such a disgusting attitude from the support of Rockstar. I work with foreign manufacturers of industrial equipment and for such an attitude they would pay a fine and lose their reputation. Selling a deliberately defective product is a scam. It is clear that everything will be forgotten over time, but the attitude towards your audience will be remembered for a long time. It is necessary to eliminate all errors in the shortest possible time, prepare amazing content specifically for apologizing to the audience, and ultimately apologize and notify everyone that the work on fixing the bugs is on the way and when release date of the patch for begining.    … Expand

    Horrible port, no optimization at all.

    A game that runs on a Playstation 4 cannot struggle to run on a GTX 1080.
    Don't buy this thing no matter what, wait for it to get fixed or don't give them your money.

    When this game works, it's great. Problem is, it crashes and stutters frequently. I have a 2600X and 1070ti, and I should have no issues running this game.

Были установлены драйвера нвидия, специально заточенные под игру. Запустилось, все более-менее сносно игралось, после длительных пребываниях в разделе настроек графики.,были подобраны оптимальные настройки. Далее нвидия выпустили свежий драйвер, который, добавил порядка 5-7 фпс. И Тут-же рокстар анонсировали патч. Обрадовавшись этой новости, оставил игру до следующего дня, в надежде на добавку еще пары фпс. Как оказалось позже, надеялся я зря, данный патч отнял порядка 10 фпс, т. е. игра стала работать хуже, чем на релизе. К счастью с фризами и вылетами особых проблем не испытывал, поэтому порывшись в настройках графики, и снизив еще некоторые пункты, получил терпимый фпс, и продолжил проходить дальше. Далее выходит еще один патч, думаю, ну теперь может добавят чуть-чуть производительности, либо вернут те фпс, что, отняли с прошлым патчем. Не тут то было, вместо оптимизации, порезали дальность прорисовки следов на грязи, и появления таких объектов, как, дилижансы, и тени от них, при этом снова сбросив все настройки по дефолту, и самое интересное, что на фпс это никак не отразилось, зато появились какие-то мерцания текстур. Поэкспериментировав вновь с настройками, игра и вовсе перестала работать, после загрузки просто черный экран, хотя звуки и управление работает. Сразу напрашивается вопрос, за что, я вам отдал 2500р., за бета тест? Каждый ваш патч, делает и без того плохо оптимизированную игру, вовсе неиграбельной. В будущем ваш продукт по предзаказу брать точно не стану, пока не буду уверен, что, продукт оптимизирован как следует… Expand

    Game is complete garbage. Worse than that, it's a trash fire.

    Clearly the 'critics' haven't played the game on PC. They're either reviewing the console version, or just the idea of the game and not the game it's self.

    It would be excusable if this was Rockstar's first game. Instead it just seems as if it was. Everything about this game is ****

    The game has s**t controls, is completely unstable, and fails in almost every aspect. What's worse is, it's based on the GTA engine, so the cheats that work for GTA are pretty much guaranteed to work for this, and you've already got plenty of cheaters in the game.

    Rockstar is a f**king stupid company. I will not be buying another one of their games, and would advise others to steer clear of them as well. They're trying to give EA and Bethesda a run for their money.    … Expand

    My biggest warning to anyone considering purchasing RDR2 on PC is that you need to have patience when you set it up. Take the time to go through each graphics option, compare your performance on Vulkan vs. DirectX 12, and tailor the game to your specs. Once you have the game tuned, there’s no better way to experience it than on PC.
