I tried every suggestion Rockstar support gave us and nothing works, I also tried many other troubleshooting attempts on my own to no avail. I tried turning off antivirus, updating windows, updating my drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling both the game and launcher multiple times, I tried flashing my BIOS and a bunch of other things. The really horrible part about this is that I dont really care at this point if Rockstar even fixes it eventually because I dont want the game any longer, they have lost my business going forward at this point, unfortunately Epic Games has denied my refund request because they say I played over 2 hours that first 1/2 day that it actually worked. So I am out 80 bucks and have a completely broken unplayable game! This is by far the worst game launch Ive seen in my 20+ years of PC gaming. I have reported Rockstar and Epic games to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and I highly suggest you all do the same if you're game is broken and you are also unable to get your money back. Rockstar should be absolutely embarrassed and ashamed of themselves.....even though they aren't. The fact that they have been almost radio silent and are only posting impersonal BS tweets from Rockstar Support that say "they are working on it" tells me that they knew the game wasn't going to work on many PC's and just planned on releasing it anyway and riding out the storm in silence. Disgraceful.… Expand

    Best in the industry verified this game is not compatible with most Intel processors. Likely will not be fixed and Rockstar will not acknowledge the processor issues publicly, almost a full week after launch.

    For everyone having stutter in Read Dead Redemption 2. Limit your framerate to 60 frames using riva turner then you'll have a smooth experience.

I personally never had CTD or things like that but my stutter completely gone with this tip and my game is looking awesome. If this helps you let me know. Cheers.… Expand

    Ridículo a quantidade de bugs. Meu jogo rodava dando um monte de freezadas mas agora nem abrir quer mais. O launcher da Rockstar é horrível, tive que pedir reembolso....devia ter continuado a jogar no ps4 mesmo, triste isso.

    Please dont bomb the game. I know the start up issues. But they will fix it. Everyone does mistakes. And the game look way better in medium settings 4k res than the consoles. The ultra setting, how i see it is future proff. They easily could downgrade the settings. But they didnt do that. They give us lots of settings so that we can manage it as we want.

    I am very frustrated with Take Two Interactive/Rockstar Games. I spent over 200$ to upgrade my pc to the recommended specifications and I am met with severe cpu spiking and constant freezes that make the game unplayable. The settings do not scale properly to allow better performance. There are many issues and bugs. I can't even properly lower my resolution without bugs appearing.

The settings do not scale properly to allow better performance. There are many issues and bugs. I can't even properly lower my resolution without bugs appearing.

    Being patronized by Rockstar to "update my drivers" was a bad move. I feel a strong presence of corporate interference with this launch. I get the impression from take two that they struck a deal with gpu companies (nvidia, amd) to coerce more players into buying high end gpu's. I'm angry that I spent money on recommended (which in my mind means 60fps at med-high settings) hardware that turns out to be subpar even on some of the lowest settings. The game runs even worse at lower settings.

    There needs to be some type of recourse for these publishers that pressure developers into pushing out subpar product. I for one will never preorder another Rockstar title after this disappointment.

    I built a pc based off the prediction of this release 2 years ago, and for this to fail as hard as it is and to be given a patronizing response over obvious greed is a real bummer.

    Yes, this game have issues - not booting on some configurations, stuttering when running on CPUs without HT. I am sure this will be fixed in time.

    An absorbing tale that will test your machine and tear ducts. A game that did not suffer from being brought to PC. RDR2 is worth overcoming all the shortcomings, since it is one of the best games of the decade. [Issue#300]

    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.
