    This game has no **** gameplay, it's just a **** movie for 60$.

    If you unironically believe this is good, get checked in at a mental hospital.

    I7 + GTX1080 = 40fps on middle/high settings. Wut?

    It took an hour to simply start the game. Disable antivirus (?), disable HDR in TV settings, start game in safe mode..
    DX12 does not work. Game closes without any error. Have to delete game settings files and start game in safe mode after changing mode to DX12.

    Poor, very poor console port. Not playable for almost 2 weeks since the premiere (very poor performance even on still quite powerfull rig - i7 9700K and GTX 1080 with 16GB 3200 GHz). Simply a bad joke from Rockstar.

    I'm not even sure where to begin. There are just so many things wrong with this game. I guess I will start with the positive. The graphics are gorgeous. The single-player game seems to work OK, but I only played it for a few minutes. I bought this for the co-op multiplayer, which is a steaming pile of garbage. It is too bad too because this game has so much potential.

    Where to begin with the negatives. I'm only going to go into the top few. There are just too many to count. First, the interface is horrible. One of the poorest designs I have seen in my life and I've been playing PC games since the mid-1980s. It is just a confusing mess that makes no sense. And there is no guide to help you learn things. Worse still is the networking code. It is some of the buggiest pre-alpha code I have ever come across. Good luck getting it to work. My three friends and I all have problems constantly. About to finish a mission and reap rewards? Not any longer! You'll get dropped at the last second and get nothing for all your effort. Sometimes, you won't even get dropped, you'll just not get any rewards with no explanation. Lastly, there is no system built into the game to stop hackers. It is a cheaters paradise. Jerks constantly do stupid things that mess up your game (when the buggy networking code isn't, which is rare).

    I was so excited to see this game when it came out and so disappointed when it arrived. It has been out now for several months and there have been several patches, but it really hasn't improved. It is still a buggy mess that is plagued by constant cheating.    … Expand

    Sorry runs like a dogs dinner have spent hours trying to get it to work properly...its exhausting stuff.
    To add insult to injury my steam copy of gta5 is also broken since the rockstar launcher started hijacking it (15fps). Feel robbed but will change my score if they can fix it :(

    I beat the game on my PS4 PRO and was excited for the PC version. I was very disappointed, I couldn't play the game since it isn't optimized yet. I have no sound when playing single player and the game constantly crashes. Wait until 2020 to buy the game. I have requested a refund already.

    Buggiest piece of sh|t I've ever tried to play. Here we are on the 6th day after release and I still can't play it properly.
    Day 1: Errors prevented the launcher from even getting the game started.
    Day 2: A new launcher and game update and still the game won't start. Day 3: Again a new launcher and game update, this time the rockstar services are reported as offline. Still can't play.

    Day 4: Yet another launcher update, this time the game goes in. I get a few minutes in here and there before it freezes (hard lock?) on me and I have to restart the process.
    Day 5...still can't get more than a few minutes in
    Day 6...let's see how it goes but I'm not holding my breath, cockstar are obviously not seeing this as too important since we have to wait a fair amount of time for updates and communication from them is at ZERO!

    I'll change my score when I can actually play but right now I'd get more fun watching paint dry and without all of the pain of having to struggle with it to try and get it running.    … 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.

    Warning to Everyone! DONT BUY JUST TORRENT GAMES FROM ROCKSTAR!!

    Nov 2020, the game was running fine.
    Dec 1, 2020 you released a patch that forces the game audio to low. How can i play this piece of **** game then!?


    **** Rockstar and your DRM's, your unnecessary patches that introduce bugs. I will never buy anything from Rockstar again until the remove this filthy DRM's.

    Неплохо бы нанять хотя бы одного (!) тестера, перед тем, как запускать игру на ПК. Но, видимо, Rockstar слишком бедная студия, чтобы иметь в своем штате (или на аутсорсе) людей, занимающихся проверкой работоспособности игры, которую на ПК ждут сотни тысяч (если не миллионы) людей.Неплохо бы нанять хотя бы одного (!) тестера, перед тем, как запускать игру на ПК.

    The game is poorly optimized and has a handful of bugs unfortunately, it's a shame that Rockstar Games released the so awaited PC version in its current state, i had to update my motherboard BIOS to be able to run the game and even so it runs like **** and have a lot of bugs. Not worth it right now IMO, wait for a few months so Rockstar releases patches fixing the game, Right now is unplayable

    RDR 2 is possibly one of the worst optimized games I've ever seen.

    An Xbox One X has a GPU that is roughly on par with an overclocked AMD RX580 and it can run the game at native 4K (3840x2160) at an almost rocks solid 30FPS. An Nvidia RTX 2080Ti is is generally 144-173% faster than an AMD RX580 in open world games with high simulation complexity (such as GTA V and The Witcher III),    RDR 2 is possibly one of the worst optimized games I've ever seen.

    An Nvidia RTX 2080Ti is is generally 144-173% faster than an AMD RX580 in open world games with high simulation complexity (such as GTA V and The Witcher III), according to UserBenchark.

    Of course, consoles are closed systems that are specifically designed for gaming so developers can use the available resources there more effectively, but Red Dead Redemption 2 also has low level API on PC (Vulkan), so the game should scale relatively similarly to the example above.

    ---

    Which means that even if we are just counting with 100% faster performance instead of 144-173% (so we are very conservative), the game should run at a locked 60 FPS on equivalent to console settings (with maybe some slight dips to 58-59).

    If we are not that conservative though and if were are counting with 144-173% performance scaling, the game should run between 73 and 81 FPS, with maybe slight dips to 69-70 FPS.

    But instead, it runs roughly at 40-45 FPS and can dip even down to 28 FPS.

    ---

    The situation is even worse (way worse) - with previous generation Pascal cards, and you can expect truly atrocious performance, even if you have a GTX 1080Ti (like me).    … Expand

    Easily the most boring game I've ever played. I love third person action RPG's and though it would be similar to Witcher 3. It's so incredible slow at the beginning. Two shooting action scenes after about two hours of game play. And the shooting game play is boring as heck also. Controls are so clunky. Characters are also boring and annoying. Everybody praises this game and i don't know why...

    Online is filled with cheaters.
    Rockstar is actively not doing anything to protect honest players from cheaters.
    Now that game only cost 5 dollars, this game is over flowing with cheaters.

    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.
