    Here are my issues within a day:
    1. update graphic driver
    2. update windows
    3. download windows media player 10
    4. google 'how to change RDR2 graphic setting to avoid lagging'
    5. changed to DX12 - then unable to start the game again.
    6. delete local user file to reset setting
    7. can play with low graphics quality (my computer cost 2k early this year). game crashes every hour on average.
    8. did the same quest like 4 times, due to crash during the quest then lost whole progress.
    9. lost legendary bear skin due to crash.
    10. bugged in a quest - googled 30 mins no solution.    … Expand

    For the lack of Russian sound in the game! What is essentially Russophobia and the humiliation of the Russian people as not worthy of this game in their native language!

    For a company that is making billions it is strange they would rush this product into release without it being FAR from readyfor release. I wont repeat all that has been said before me, just signing under everything that has been said.

    I have registered on metacritci spicifcally to let the people know, i am outraged with Rockstar and Epic Game Store for this raw release.

    Stay away from this game. It is not playable. I paid a full price and it crashes randomly pretty often like it's a badly cracked one. I have to start the missions all over again hoping there will be no other crash, but often there is. Totally ruined my impression. Very bad QA.

    Shame, as I thoroughly enjoyed the PS4 version.

    Was hoping to spend more time on Red Dead Online on PC but in the short time i was able to play on days 1 and 2, framerate was choppy and the game crashed every so often. Finally, on day 2 (day after launch day), it crashed for the final time for me and I joined the many players facing the 'exited unexpectedly' error on the Rockstar    Shame, as I thoroughly enjoyed the PS4 version.

Finally, on day 2 (day after launch day), it crashed for the final time for me and I joined the many players facing the 'exited unexpectedly' error on the Rockstar launcher, unable to launch the game.

    Rockstar support has been mostly unresponsive and unhelpful when they do respond, telling me to update the launcher which did absolutely nothing for me.

    I'm writing this review on 10 November 2019, 5 days after the PC launch, and I am still unable to play a game I paid full price for. Not even the single-player mode. It baffles me how something like this can happen. To make things worse, Rockstar has not issued any apology for this mess.

    My advice to anyone reading this is to give this game a hard miss. Rockstar promised a working game on 5 November 2019 and did not deliver. True, a few lucky ones are able to play without much issues, but ask yourself if you feel lucky (well, do ya, punk?). They are clearly in damage control now, though they might never admit it, and it looks like they have a long way to go to get everyone in the game, and an even longer one for optimised performance.    … Expand

    Here many complain that the game does not work well or does not work for 60$. But my case is even cooler.
    Rockstar took my money and .... canceled the order. Those. they took the money and gave me no game whatsoever. They just STOLE my money.
    Money does not return. The support service has been silent for three days.

    I was one of the many that preordered this game months in advance, hoping to be able to play it on November the 5, 2019. My rig is a year old ASUS G703GS gaming laptop.

    PC version is such a complete farce. You could get lucky and play the game perfectly with no issues in single player or online, or you could have an unplayable mess from a game that is already a year old.

    Not to mention the online side of the game adopts the same greedy, cash grabbing balancing system that we all know and love from Rockstar, with large parts of the system locked behind a hard ~2 week daily grind without paying extra for. But don't worry, you can buy literally everything with gold (premium currency), from weapon upgrades, to entirely new weapons, to flat out raw power horse upgrades and so on, there's nothing in the game you can't buy or make significantly easier with the premium currency.    … Expand

    Why did I give $ 40 for a game that crashes all the time and isn't optimized at all? The game itself is a masterpiece, it is very interesting to play, but to remove the departures and brakes would be good

    On the first day, the game was difficult, but it started. True, I had to work with the settings, the swap file and pretend that you did not notice 10 second freezes. This could still be tolerated, but today the game did not start at all from the 10th or the 20th time. Moreover, the cunning EGS does not return money, unlike the same Origin. Shame Rokstar, just a shame!

    Tried every "fix" that has been released and the game keeps crashing. Tried to get a refund and have been told by Epic because I have more than 2 hours I don't qualify. Rockstar and Epic have done a pre-holidy money grab. Wait until it comes out on Steam because at least then you'll know it's working and if not have a decent chance to get your money back.

    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.
